Saw her at the 2014 playoff games against the Tigers. She was a section down from us.

My favorite part of the interview:

“I think anything I say here is going to be the sort of Pablum that you get from any baseball general manager,” Elias replied.

Here’s the Rub …it would probably take something like 1/2 of the 21.5 for this year and probably $23 to $27 million of the $43 for next year. So they’d be looking for value plus $35.75 million in surplus trade value . My guess is that cost you what they perceive is 4.5 WAR in value plus. I’m think they’d want 4-5 of our prospects plus 3 really good ones minimum.

I don’t see it happening

He's scheduled to start against Gibson a week from tomorrow. Would love to move Gibson to Sunday. He wouldn't even have to relocate.. ha!

Sounds like “we are buyers” was a bunch of BS again just like “lift off”

 

We are buyers.

But we only have 40 bucks and a half-eaten baloney sandwich we're willing to part with.

Which is crazy, because we have more position player prospects than we have room for them all.
