Remember-Elias traded Tanner Scott 2 years ago for garbage. Good drafter. Horrible GM when it comes to trades.

Yup.  Agree.  I have literally brought this topic up 1000 x the past 2 years.

10/10 insight. 

But yeah…you’re not purposefully trolling.

An automated account responding via A.I. has gone haywire. Only explanation for this.

I will leave it at this....and I have asked this 5 times now and NONE of you Elias defenders have responded.  Not one.  Do you know why?  Because you can't with any logic. 

If you want to debate my OP?  Fine. Do it with facts.  Not insults.

So was the TS trade a good trade?  If so?  Explain why.  If not?  I completely agree. 

Because either Elias completely missed on assessing his talent?

Or Elias has not hired the proper people to develop pitchers like TS and Miami has.

What say you?

I'm not concerned with Artificial Intelligence. I'm more worried about Natural Stupidity.

Right.  I agree.  And besides SB, CM, and JH?  Then who?  The Os are very very top heavy prospect wise.  Which is great.  Better than most teams.  But there is no second coming after the next top 3 either get promoted or are traded. 

Huh? What do you agree with?  They graduated five guys from last years list. How fast should we expect Elias to get 6 guys in the top 100 prospect list?

Anyway, I don't care that we traded Scott when he was still bad and I don't care that we didn't overpay to get him back.

The end.

It was better than releasing him. It was not a bad trade at the time. I'll criticize Elias & Co. from time to time, but this isn't even a blip on the radar of moves.

I just can't imagine someone being that stupid. I can't accept it. It has to be something else.

I agree that we are top heavy farm system wise.  We are in no way shape or form......deep.

I literally just said HE SHOULD NOT BE FIRED OVER THIS.  As in that is what I want to have happen.  NOT FIRED. 

 

Again.....do you read? 

So this whole thread can be boiled down to Elias should not be fired.  Hot take.  I agree.  But it's good to know that your confidence in him is "waning... quickly".  Please do keep us posted.

I understand that people who just attack another's pov without offering facts and logic and just personally attacking someone?  Like you? 

 

Either is low IQ or has no facts to debate with.
