    It wasn't so long ago that your trade proposal was Jair Jurrjens for Kemp.

    I'm pretty sure that was like 10 years ago.

    Not literally, but it was so long ago that Jurrjens had trade value.

    Zeets, are you going to Cooperstown this time if Chipper gets in (almost assuredly)?

    I was thinking this today. Mortgage everything for a 2-3 year run, win the World Series, thank Manfred during the champagne shower, then blow it up Marlins style for a pile of prospects and pile up stud draft picks for a few years. Then do it all over again.

    The only reason I was even being semi-serious with this is, Freeman and Inciarte are going to be declining soon. They're the types of guys on the team you need to be leaders. You crossover the next few years of Inciarte/Freeman Prime or exiting their prime with Albies, Acuna, Riley and everyone improving and we may have a legit shot at the World Series in 2-3 years. No guarantee Acuna's power will translate to bigs. So while we have a slugger like Freddie we might as well use him. We have guys like Albies who can get on base in front of him. We also have stockpiled the minors with tons of pitching. Let's see what we have and go for it and like you said blow it up all over again.

    I know players decline at a certain age and all, but why must we assume Freeman will start declining soon? Look at the career Joey Votto is putting together. 34 years old and just missed out on an MVP award. Freeman is just about exactly 6 years younger. I know players like Votto are extremely rare, but if Freeman avoids injury, I expect him to be extremely productive for many years to come.

    I don't disagree with you, except that Freeman HASN'T been able to avoid injury. It concerns me that he'll tear or break something that doesn't heal right back.

    I understand what you're saying, but it's not like Freeman has had consistent recurring injuries. Getting hit by a pitch is bad luck.
