Yes, it certainly depends on what is offered.

I'd like to keep Hays for one more year. I think it's a safe bet that his value next July is way above where it is now. Hopefully Santander has a good enough second half that he can be dealt this winter. I don't have any faith that Stewart builds value going forward so I hope someone wants the OBP and power for the rest of this year.

That could very well be correct but with every team worried about filling innings, I think he has some value to someone. Lots of teams desperate for pitching now. Even the great Andrew Friedman traded Yordan Alvarez for Josh Fields. If we could get the equivalent of Jean Pinto, I'd think of that as a win even understanding Pinto or his equivalent may never master AA.

I agree with this. I'd be happy with 1 or 2 17 year old Dominican lottery tickets.

Yes you did. Very impressed with how you took out Arkansas though.

No, you don't appreciate it. I think you're fully aware of what you're doing and you enjoy hijacking threads, "suggesting" Elias made mistakes and that ownership is cheap. That's your thing. That's how you troll. You pay enough attention to your words that you won't say "the O's will underspend by a million" but you'll say "it'd be a bad look if they underspend by a million." You put that thought out there in the thread and people read it as if it's likely. Yes, it's accurate to say that if they underspend by a million, that would be a bad look. But when you're posting that, there is not one single reason or shred of evidence to believe that's going to actually happen. But when you post stuff like that a dozen times a day, 365 times a year, your message is very clear and it's very, very intentional. I don't get the enjoyment of coming to a board every day trying to prove that nothing will get better with ownership, with the MLB roster, with drafts, with international, with development, with anything. But you show up, everyday, ready to tell everybody how bad things are. This is the last I'll direct at you. If you're determined to hijack threads, you'll keep doing what you've been doing until Tony gets more sick of it. But I wish Tony realized how many posters you deter, and how much better the board could be without you dominating so many threads with the relentless negativity.

Thanks. Keep the updates coming please.

Because you routinely dominate and hijack a large percentage of threads on the board. Someone could post "Austin Hays had 2 hits last night". You're likely to respond: "I've seen no evidence that ownership will spend when the time is right". Maybe that's an accurate statement. But why do you have to hijack the thread? Maybe ownership won't spend. But could you let them screw up before suggesting they might screw up? And what's wrong with having a thread about Austin Hays having 2 hits?

That might be your best post ever. Well done.

That's pretty cool. Sad to say I don't think his time in MLB will delay his acting career much. Hope I'm wrong there.

News to me too.

per Nathan Ruiz.

No one. Santander and Akin don't count on the 40 since they're Covid out.

Conner Greene gets the call.

Dusten Knight would make sense but he's not on the 40 man.

Really good article. Thanks.

Yes, you disagree. With everything. It's either Elias' fault or ownership being cheap. But it's always wrong. I post about the prospects a lot. I'm not surprised that you don't see positive stuff though. That's not your focus. That's not what you're interested in seeing.

The point is you constantly post how wrong every decision is, when you don't know what information the choice was based on. And if someone points out where you're wrong, you move the target. And if that's what you enjoy, feel free. You keep doing you.

With those parameters, would you agree that you don't have one tenth the information that Elias has when the pick is made? And sometimes no information whatsoever?

You've been in the mushrooms again, huh? That makes no sense at all.

Don't forget your conspiracy theory about holding guys back to have a highly rated farm system.

Arm grade of 70 and was mid 90's off the mound. Would do well in RF if he's unable to handle third.

Hopefully some combination of Cole Sulser, Tanner Scott, Paul Fry and Dillon Tate bring back 4-5 more 40's that could become 45's.

I was all in on everything you said until the bolded. People don't have to be right to criticize. People don't even have to pay attention or know what's going on to criticize.
