Well clearly you are better than all of us then, case closed.

He liked a tweeted calling for the n word to be shot dead. It’s so awful I am not going to post it but I think that should give you an indication. You can find it on Reddit and Twitter I believe. Many I know were shocked he wasn’t immediately released.

I take racism much more seriously than you clearly.

Akin doesn’t belong on the 40 man for multiple reasons.

Great post & thoughts.

The people that take the time to do this is a special kind of nerd.

38 millionhttps://www.si.com/nfl/colts/news/colts-commanders-carson-wentz-trade-compensation so many better options plus couldn’t have had him for 1/3 if the price with no picks. Just an epic head-scratcher. Riveria good coach but his qb assessment abilities are poor, clearly.

Awful signing. The Carson Wentz’s of transactions.

That sounds very specific, got some info or did I miss a news story?

Agreed. But not a fan of Os approach (both Elias & under Buck). Go high ceiling if you are tanking. Russell Martin was a great pick, likely didn’t work but that’s the kinda guy you take, not the Flahertys of the world.

I can’t believe the Os won’t have a rule 5! Honestly, might have lost a couple of guys but man, that Red Sox guy sounds good, they should reach out and offer something lol.

154 long overdue. Frustrating.

They should def target Greinke or Cueto if they get Correa

Absolutely

I honestly believe he would throw almost unlimited money at him and that’s been his plan all along because he can’t quit the passion Houston provides lol. Seriously, he passed on a real good SS prospect last year which seems like a head scratcher so perhaps this is the guy he’s willing to kick it off. But gotta have better SP so look for rumors there.

Omg, awful awful signing and too much money. Is Elias advising on the Carson Wentz trades

"premium" chat LOL Does he have an onlyfans account too? SMH

I know we don't agree on much on here but here it goes... I believe the "rebuild" has little to do with the team's prospects but the sale of the team. Everything contingent on when Peter passes sadly/morbidly. I don't wish death on anyone, even my worst enemy but I believe that is the reality to this team despite what the team says in press releases/interviews. Why would you be shopping Mullins (I love him but get that one a little bit at least) and Means (we haven't had a home grown starter since Mussina, really just a red flag)? Makes zero sense. You aren't building a winner in the AL East with a stud catcher alone. That is just fantasy land stuff. The quantity of our top prospects aren't impressive. We just have a deeper lower to mid system (that could potentially used in trades). Not a recipe for a championship. But hey, dream away folks. You know my opinion on Elias. He isn't awful but highly overrated and not criticized enough. He really hasn't produced many nuggets or finds in his tenure. I think he would easily leave here to use his experience for a higher profile job but don't know what he was told/promised. People around him are tight lipped.

you got it, all he knows, and not good at finding many gems there either spoiler: next year the rebuild will get pushed to the right 1 year…

I wanted Kim Ng too. You know she would have been amazing and nobody would work harder. Elias still riding on the coattails of a franchise with a culture of cheating. I am often critical of Elias simply because people like all or nothing. Dude isn’t the worst but many huge alarm bells. And this? Honestly this looks borderline nuts. If this is what you wanted, just resign Harvey and save $5 mil+ AND get a better pitcher. Let that sink in as you twist like a pretzel defending this move.

Always such a class act you are…

Trading Means? Disgusting. Particularly when it’s not even selling high. And question to the board (Elias cult defenders): point to some astute trades/signings/waiver claims that have impressed you. Tyler Wells is not evidence of greatness. Excuses and excuses. We haven’t had a stud reliever since Mussina and haven’t won a championship in nearly 40 years yet the board is clamoring for his departure? This isn’t a fan board, it’s an Elias personality cult.

Stop with your common sense. Only thing I am confident in is that he will make the wrong decisions. If he believes in his high ranked system (which has a lot of mid level skilled players and few studs), then protect them, there is plenty of room. Moment of truth in some ways. Batista will easily get plucked, don’t be dumb, protect him, you have protected much much worse.
