Couldnt pay me enough to live in the Dominican, not that I am qualified to be a strength and conditioning coach.  Maybe they can send Brady down there!

Thats not even the slightest bit remotely funny.

Come on, Rick. It's a joke. Don't tell me a guy with Redskins in his handle is going to be PC.

Sorry joking about a guy wishing him dead, is a pretty sad and lame. Has nothing to do with PC, just isn't funny.

For the record, I sent Weams an email asking for a handle change, and he never did it, so oh well.

I think you need to chill out a bit. No one is wishing him dead. Your stereotyping/judging an entire country (the DR) based on a single shooting incident is much more disturbing then the "send Brady" comments.

It was funny.  And he isn't wishing him dead.  Millions of people visit DR each year and most of them come back alive.  Baltimore's murder rate is almost twice that of the DR.

    • Lol!  Correct, dude! I'm not against anything.  I just feel like maybe the expectations are a little higher than they need to be.  We don't need a number one SP - I mean, it would be great, but the value/cost at this moment would be bad, imo.  So I think there's the chance he's shopping at Ollie's.  Nothing wrong with that to me.  I'm just wondering if there are targets out there that someone is familiar with that would cost little instead of the guys being talked about - top prospects, Kjerstadt, etc. Other than Buddy Groom, LOL, there are no answers.  Fuji was almost equivalent to what I'm talking about here.  I just don't know who as I don't watch games around the league as I know many others here do.
    • Mayo.  His 2024 numbers are incredible, so you’re selling high as far as prospects go.  But his defense is a question mark and as this year shows, he has the least clear path to the majors of the group. Some of that is because of his age relative JH and SB, but it’s clear that JH and SB have clear rolls on this team once they are ready.  Mayo’s path is less clear. 
    • I'm coming around to this idea more and these are all good points, but I still wouldn't give up a whole lot for him.  His season so far this year is giving me a bit of Austin Voth 2022 vibes.  83 IP for us with a 3.04 ERA, 3.96 FIP, 8.3 H/9, 1.1 HR/9, 2.7 BB/9, 7.8 K/9...then he went back to being the Austin Voth he always was.  Maybe it's that they both pitched for the Nationals for a bit at the beginning of their careers, but both careers prior to their "breakout" 2022 and 2024 seasons, respectively, along with their numbers in their "breakout" seasons are eerily similar. I'm not dismissing the idea that he has figured something out, I'm just not willing to risk much betting that he has. 
    • I'm expecting the All-Star game soon. I would have said as quickly as possible after the sale but now I think they will wait until the renovations are complete.
    • I don't like the idea of parting with significant prospects for marginal players. For comparison's sake, we traded for Flaherty last year and gave up basically nothing. Flaherty (even mid season last year) is about as good as some of the guys we are thinking of trading real prospects for. Even if you get an additional year(s) of control, guys like Efflin I'm not trading someone like Norby for. I think we can do better if we are going to jet out the Norbys and Beavers of the world.
    • Maybe we can have an all star game and winter classic in the near future too!
    • I would consider Fedde the main aisle along with relievers like Scott and Estevez.
