    We can't trade Mateo now. But I think that's mostly because of what he's doing offensively, not defensively. If he had regressed to being more of a defensive specialist, as some of us had expected (raises hand), then I think trading him for pitching and replacing him with another solid defensive player (in Urias) would have been worth exploring. It's a moot point now, but they should defniitely be shopping Urias. 

    Mateo playing well may increase his odds of being traded, or it should at least.

    It's possible to agree with that statement and still feel that the over the top hate for the guy on here is out of control and out of proportion.

    You can't have a thread about anything without it being brought up that it is some soft of horrific travesty that he is playing so much.  There are actually people on this thread who admit they can't fully enjoy one of the greatest turnaround seasons in MLB history because of Odor's mere presence on the field.

    Start a thread about how good the crab pretzels are at OPACY and there's bound to be someone who says they would taste better if Odor wasn't in the lineup.  

    It would be a travesty if he cost us a playoff spot

    The Walmart stuff is mainly junk though, at least for what I read.  I say this if you are looking for a big hit.

    It’s incredible  the prices this stuff is bringing.

    Wal-Mart wise, I recommend the Upper Deck series 2 hockey.  I’ve been pulling bangers right and left.  It’s a banner crop of Young Guns.  Get after it.

    Seems like a Jeff Kent profile. He wasn't supposed to be a great prospect, but his bat carried him and his defense was solid enough. 

    I don't think he'll be confused for Robbie Alomar, but being sure handed (if he is) helps.

    Jeff Kent was almost as good as Alomar.

    The inconsistent nature of the thinking on this site can be amazing to me.

    People think it’s going to be simple to replace Lopez.  People acknowledge how the wall is so helpful to pitching.

    But yet people think we should pay 10M for a mediocre pitcher who is pretty easily replaceable?

    I mean, i agree that the innings he pitches are important, even if they are subpar innings and I also agree that his salary means very little with our payroll.

    However, at what point do people come to the conclusion that we should and deserve better?  I feel that the mindset of the Os fan is so off on so many topics.

    Some of that has to do with expectations from terrible ownership for a quarter century. But some of it is also just not used to making bigger moves to add top quality talent.

    The Os need to add 2 legit ML starters in the offseason.  Resources need to go towards that rather than guys that help you “get by”.  

    They absolutely need to add two higher end starters this off-season.  I don’t think that precludes Lyles adding value to the team next year.  He gives them a reasonable shot most times he starts.
