    Sure they can. You don't have to buy it but that's your call.
  2. dxpavelka
    NO
  3. dxpavelka
    The return had better be more than when we traded Nelson Cruz.
  4. dxpavelka
    Getting 2-4 of these guys into the mix might just provide the needed jump start. AND be a damned sight better than trading one or more of them for a veteran re-tread.

    Woo is close but I think Ryan is better. And a LOT better than Bubic.

    There's no place like home. There's no place like home. We're not in Kansas anymore Toto.

    Which doesn't mean a new owner is going to turn a profit.

    Hell, I could put an offer on the team to buy the team. Doesn't mean it's gonna be accepted or is a good or legitimate offer. And too much being made about the debt. Typically in this type of transaction the buyer only assumes the assets and not any debt. The bigger concern is the fact that if that level of debt has been run up by current ownership, what does the future bode for a future ownership that fans will be certain will outspend current ownership by multiple degrees of magnitude? Where is that money going to come from? Ownership, new, old or from another planet is NOT going to be interested in operating this club at a loss. Get ready to pay up. 6-1-2 night at the ball park? Good bye, We hardly knew ya. Twenty buck beer night? Fifteen dollar dog night? Cracker Jack for a Hamilton night? Chip in boys and girls. All reasonable ideas considered.

    I don't have a problem with fan voting. Don't even have a problem with the rule that every team has to have a representative. 32 man rosters more than make up for that. My problem is with the selections of certain pitchers who are NOT the only representative from their team and NOT having better seasons than Ryan. Kris Bubic and Bryan Woo? Sorry. Nice young players but better than Ryan? Don't think so. Just sayin

    No Joe is a joke

    You give up someone good you LOSE someone good. You create new holes. Far more often than not the team trading away the best player in the deal loses the trade.

    Can you imagine if social media had existed in the RD era?
  13. dxpavelka
    Obvious that not enough crosses had been burned in their yard by then.
  14. dxpavelka
    I must be getting old cuz I had to Google who Ike Davis' dad was. Sorry I did that.
  15. dxpavelka
    Berrios trade: We're past tomorrow. Has it made us better?
  16. dxpavelka
    You don't get better when your best players are playing elsewhere.
  17. dxpavelka
    Add Painter and we MIGHT at least have a conversation.
  18. dxpavelka
    1st or 2nd place teams generally aren't looking for bats for the heart of their order right now. They are in 1st or 2nd place because they already have those bats. They are looking for depth and role players and situational hitting of some sort or a guy who can get hot for them at just the right time. The right team with the right need might well give something useful. Not gonna get a Juan Soto type return but should get something. Need to make sure we're not making trades just to make trades though.
  19. dxpavelka
    The only one of these moves that makes any sense is one of the two left handed hitting corner OF. And only if the potential replacements are deemed ready by no later than the start of next season. Making moves that only serve to create or exacerbate holes makes no sense.
  20. dxpavelka
    Just don't think the future is as Major League Ready as you think.
  21. dxpavelka
    So, basically, his ability to catch the baseball and throw it to first base on a consistent basis puts him ahead of most of the infielders in the organization. A .277 batting average with a little pop and the ability to drive in the occasional run makes him a key contributor. Would love to see him settle in at 3B, Lewis to move to 1B and Castro and Clemens keep 2B warm for Keashcall and see what might happen.
  22. dxpavelka
    None of which points to the imminent presence of a better SS on the roster.
  23. dxpavelka
    Could still be a LONG time before there is a better SS on the roster than Correa.
  24. dxpavelka
    Give him the 1B glove and don't think about moving him. Until 5 years later when you take the glove away and make him the full-time DH.
  25. dxpavelka
    I have little interest in turning our farm system into the best in baseball. We've been top 10 or better over half of this century. Let's build a big league club.
