My butt is still so sore over the brauer trade

Kevin Towers?

[ABE32]

Hamilton resigns with Yankees? Huh?

Ha ha I fixed it while you were typing.

[DavidH]

as of right now I would be excited for any type of action.... i wondering how hoystein's vacation has been because this team sucks donkey nuts right now... even worse than last year.... no way the rockies beat us to 100 losses this year

i'll gladly wager on the 100 losses

[SenorGato]

Some young ML players I would like to target on the trade market:

Rick Porcello
Justin Masterson
Mike Olt
Andrew Miller
Brian Matusz
Peter Bourjos
Brett Gardner
Domonic Brown
Phillipe Aumont
Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Jemile Weeks
Phil Hughes
Clay Buchholz
Mark Melancon
Tyler Skaggs
Patrick Corbin
Derek Holland
Martin Perez
JP Arencibia/Travis D'Arnaud
Chris Perez
Lonnie Chisenhall
Anthony Bass

Obviously this doesn't include any high end talents like David Price, Mike Stanton, Jacoby Ellsbury, or etc.

No real order there as that is impossible.

Lake, Russell and Watkins ay? Jesus...

It really sucks that the big debates lately have been about other teams' attempts to improve their overall roster.

I like the bolded more because they might actually be available for us. Some of them I actually really want really really want. Pick up Bourn..Make the Soriano for Brown trade and Give me Olt and Masterson and pencil us in for the playoffs.

You think this team is worse than last years???? NO WAY? Just having Rizzo to start the season trumps last years squad and the pitching/bullpen will be much better.

as of right now we will have 100 losses again... easy

How do you say that when this team has upgraded tons since last year.

We lost two pitchers and replaced them with two similar and one when healthy could be better than all of them on the roster.

We addressed our ****** bullpen which cost us 25 + games last year.

We brought back a better 3rd basemen and he should produce better than what we had there last year. Everything else remains the same except our younger players should continue to get better.

Volstad - GONE
Wells - GONE
BAKER -GONE
Dewitt - GONE
Soto -GONE
Dempster 30/70

[ABE32]

o come on... seriously?

Why not? solid line up and good to great pitching?

Left out picking up Bourn so that might sway you but maybe not.

who? we had stewart last year and he didn't do anything but hit 201 and OBP 627........ yeah! im so excited!

I will say our Bullpen should be better... but I highly doubt our rotation is much better at this point. Too many question marks.... we had Dempster pitching out of his mind last year ... we don't have anyone to replace that.

You are crazy! This easily a 66, maybe 67, win roster!


Until the purge.
