Still boggles my mind we were the youngest team in the majors in 2013, won the division, and now here we are not even 2 full years later. We're older and suck.

Someone gave me a reputation comment? People still use those?

Hart kicked the tires on a Wood trade and the car exploded.

Not going to try to spin anything, but have learned one thing above everything else when it comes to baseball trades...
Take a deep breath and think through all the dominoes that might also fall as a result of the trade before condemning it. Crow became a delicacy because so many people scream their knee-jerk reactions without thinking things through.
Always best to sleep on deals and examine them from all sides.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

i would have traded Wood for Olivera straight up but hate including Jose.im gonna withhold judgement on the deal until I see what the team does in free agency.I still feel like we will go after Price and another bat.If Olivera gets healthy can be a great number 4 hitter behind Freddie.
Man, I hope this thing doesn't go through. If it doesn't, our FO needs to sit the next few days out. I'd rather keep all our one-year guys and make no deals than make this one.
On a solid note, if this goes down and we sign a solid guy like Lucroy (just throwing in a suggestion) the lineup could really improve:
Markakis RF
Lucroy C
Freeman 1B
Olivera 3B (?)
Maybin CF
Peterson 2B
Simba SS
K. Johnson? Whoever LF
I really am more interested to see how everything pans out if this happens. We have the money and prospects to get a solidified hitter and TOR type of guy and without Wood, I think it's looking more like we'd go for that.
