Can you use the same player for multiple grid locations? I mean Rich Hill has pitched for like a dozen teams right?

Sounds like a Big10 quarterback. Actually, keep him in your back pocket for Immaculate Grid.

I don't get how folks can be high on Povich and down on Hall.

I think it's both.

No we aren't. Any decision that could be made then can be made now.

Wasn't what I meant. What do you have to give Verlander to get him to waive his no trade clause?

If we have a guy on the roster whose job it is is to provide quality defense at Shortstop, I'd rather have Ortiz.

I'm sure he would, but at what cost?

Don't forget the fawning fanbase and toothless media.

I'm going off the options with a huge blockbuster deal with Chiba Lotte for Roki Sasaki. He's just 21 and he's only making 80 million Yen.

I don't think it does. You don't have room on the roster for a guy that can hit OK against 25% of the pitchers out there but you can't trust to field his position.

Weaver had the luxury of a longer bench.

I didn't know enough to not be excited after 1989.

He's not being traded and he has a no trade clause.

Yea nothing builds trade value like showing other teams that you think Mateo is a better option for your playoff team.

I don't think the Padres are going to let the O's trade them Hall twice in the same trade.

I'd say the Angels were serious.

Might be an overpay but I wouldn't rate Hall at 14.7 right now. In fact I'm so lukewarm on Hall I'm not sure it's even an overpay.

Assuming he stays healthy and doesn't have some sort of complete meltdown he's opting out. Even if he doesn't, there is nothing stopping the O's from trading him.

Santander has 30 and Mountcastle has 29.

I don't have him on the untouchable list but I'm not eager to move him.

The issue with trading Santander or Hays is mostly you have teams that are struggling as being the potential trade partners. Normally that isn't a great fit.

I think that is the type of trade that doesn't get made today due to the increased amount of data out there. Pappas wasn't a stiff but there is no doubt that his numbers were positively impacted by the defense playing behind him and the park he was in.

One of you should just petition a mod to combine the two.

I wasn't suggesting a call up to the Majors was likely but it is the type of move a team in the playoff rush can make. Bring up a high K guy to fortify the pen. I can see it and the 40 man roster shouldn't be a deal breaker if there is a legitimate need.
