Wel I hope we don’t trade any of these guys just to “get what we can.”

This is a weird thread.

There’s a good doc on HBO that chronicles his journey. Forget what it’s called, but enjoyed it.

Disappointing that Maikol isn’t playing his way onto this list at all.

And Urias

Yea I at least recognize Adley, chirinos, Trey, and Mateo for sure

This team looks to have excellent chemistry. I think some of the credit has to go to Hyde. Will he be the manager on our next playoff team?

Who’s that?

Annoyingly good fortune.

How did they have the 2nd pick and the 5th pick that year? Wow I didn’t realize that.

As long as he doesn’t slump terribly, he’ll be up by next weekend I’d hope.

Good post, good perspective.

Fun to have a team again.

Fair. So a star offensive player, not superstar. I suppose he gets his superstar label from the full package. And the massive contract.

Sorry to derail, but have you seen what he was doing this season before his injury this weekend? And just his overall body of work? Not sure how you can say he’s not a superstar offensive player.

I’ve been on this board for about 6 years now, and I think Berry at 1:1 would cause more ire than I’ve ever seen. My pitchfork has been in the closet since we failed to trade Manny and Britton when the time was right, but I do still know exactly where that pitchfork is in said closet.

Want: Johnson take: Johnson

Agreed.

I should add Green in there too.

For me it’s Jones, Collier, Johnson, Holliday in that order. Anyone else and I’ll be upset. If it’s Berry, I will quite honestly question my fanhood.

Then he should play every day in the minors until a trade is made or an injury occurs. It will happen.

Yea I agree with this, Frobby. The move was one of pure utility because he was the best option. I imagine they told him he was only up for the series. He missed, what? One or two games with Norfolk? But got his first big league RBI. That’s good for his development. As is him being sent back down for another few weeks until there’s room for him to play every day like he currently is doing in Norfolk.

At this point I think Zimm needs to head to the bullpen. Give the kid a break.

He’s still very young. I’ll give it more time before fully casting off the lofty hopes many of us had for him just a month and a half ago. Is another Mountcastle a more likely (and still good!) outcome? Most likely, but I’m still dreaming on more. Also he has a cannon for an arm so he will be able to play the outfield.
