Doubt we were ever in the running for Matt Kemp and doubt we will be in the running for Upton.

Yep, I expect neither one of these guys... and really, to improve upon the outfield, we don't NEED one of these guys.

Upton is very likely going to be too expensive in terms of players. Duquette knows what he's doing.

This. It's the production we need to replace. Don't need a big name.

Wasn't Cruz a big name? If we all seriously think this by committee approach is gonna replace Cruz and Markakis were all fooling ourselves.

I don't want everyone to get all butt hurt or anything, but objectively, it won't be that difficult to upgrade right field.

Yes he did three times that I heard.

I just witnessed MLB Network refer to Ryne Sandberg as "RYAN SANDBERG."

WTF?

I expect more from MLB Network - it's usually very good.

Minus Harold Reynolds, obviously.

I married one, I will confirm this suggestion.

[Hank Scorpio]

She pronounced it perfectly.
