Just play!  I could only put 10 choices.

11 would have been.
 

11) A package that starts with Mayo or Basallo

12) I don’t think any of these packages are close to the eventual package

I actually didn’t mean to vote. I don’t think any of these packages is something Elias would agree to trade. I think Ortiz is the biggest piece he moves for Cease. The Cease off-season obsession I think is only a twitter/message board thing.

I went with the last one. Even that feels like an overpay considering Cease is not the ace that the White Sox are convinced he is. But I also think WS fans will feel that it wasn’t enough. So that usually means it’s a fair trade.

Barf.

Well, whatever.  Maybe I've been too hard on the 'ryche as of these past couple of days.  I'll give Operation Mindcrime a listen tomorrow and see if it's as awful as I remember it being.

It's not my thing but I respect them going as heavy into prog as they did back in 1988.

    • Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.
    • This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
    • All I know is that Suárez has earned at least one more start, after today.
    • Scherzer still looks like a guy who would be a nice add to our rotation in the second half if the Rangers are sellers. 
    • Not happening. I don’t disagree, but Kremer will be slotted in the rotation.
    • I wouldn’t either but the word here is that he’s going back to rotation . Suarez supposedly the one  to be moved to bullpen . I think they should wait and see if Irvin can rebound . If Irvin can’t match Suarez’s work, then he should be moved to bullpen 
    • Yes that’s what I was asking. COC was completely off base in his comment. Judge is a great player, and apparently a nice guy. I have nothing against him, or most Yankees, for that matter, though Gil’s tats are off putting. I am expecting a bit of pro Yankee bias, but that’s ok. Also, home runs is a very glittery stat, and might sway some folks. But it should be Gunnar, at least based on the first 81.
