It'll probably be a generic talk about how the market didn't play out as they expected, they weren't getting what they thought were fair offers, and teams were asking unreasonable things. But don't worry. We're happy with the guys we have, and they are going to keep fighting while we continue the process of assembling a winner.

Sounds just like last year. Pathetic.

I hope any callers crucify him... He deserves every bit of it.

For which part?

Not trading Trachsel?

Not trading Payton?

Not trading :P Bedard?

Not trading Bradford or Walker and their contracts, which he was not responsible for?

Not turning water into wine? Not making chicken salad out of you know what?

:rolleyes:

You blame MacPhail if you need to, dude.

Umm why? This is the best move this team has made. And now that the players dont have to stress about whose being traded, they can focus on playing baseball.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
