Yeah this is the biggest problem this year. A's have pulled themselves back into it. Kind of.

I fully expect the Marlins to trade Latos. He is too risky to QO. Sure the Phillies would like to trade Papelbon or Hamels of anyone actually gives them what they want. The Reds could sell Cueto but teams are probably hesitant with his injuries this year.

What do you guys think about Adam Lind? I would rather he be a DH but with us he would have to play 1st and keep Davis in the OF but he is having a nice year. 500,000 buyout and a $8M option next year.

Does anyone still wear their cap backwards besides chubby 37-year-olds who still think it's 1999? My exceptionally tenuous connection to what's cool indicates that the flat brim superseded the backwards cap years ago. That's probably been re-superseded since then.

I still see the backwards caps far to often but it's true that many of the chubby 37 year-olds have abandoned their backwards caps. Disturbingly, some of those who have adopted flat brims have also taken to wearing their pants 3 sizes too large and falling halfway off their butts. Call me old-fashioned, but I just don't think it's a convincing look on middle aged office workers. Even if their jockey shorts do have the same colors as the flag of Jamaica.

To add to this, there was an article this morning with Theo Epstein saying he probably won't make big moves since he is basically fighting to get in a one game wild card. Interesting take that I haven't thought of before. Teams that are fighting for the division will be more likely to make big moves than those fighting for WC.

What about trading for Votto? any interest? What would it take? Would it be worth it? 8/192 M remaining on contract.

Not sure why we need a more expensive version of David Lough.

Revere can steel a base.

But can he get on?

You can't steal first.

I don't care for guys with sub 80% safe percentages stealing. But that's just me.

So not anything less than Rickey? his career SB% is .80. I'd take Dee Gordon myself in a heart beat. He's only 76 %.

And unlucky for us, that's the whole division.

No thanks.

[El Gordo]

No thanks.

If they want to move him they would have to take on some of that salary, unless it's with the Yankees and they don't have much to trade.

80% is a pretty darned high bar. There have been something like 50 players since WWII who have that rate with at least 50 successful steals in their careers. That's comparable to the number of players who've hit 400+ homers over that period. I think my takeaway from that is reinforcing the idea that you don't trade for players because they steal bases. It's just not that valuable.
