I don't know guys, let's really think about the Anderson, Wright, Riley, Contreras for Felipe Vasquez deal....
On one hand, its bat**** crazy, unrealistic, and any GM who ever made that deal would immediately be castrated and fired from a cannon onto the fiery surface of the sun.
On the other hand, flags fly forever.
Its a pretty tough call, but I still think I'd have to hold off on making that trade.
Seconded. I'm honestly all for it. Its posts like these that take this board from a 10/10 to an 11/10. I could read this stuff all day.Originally Posted by Enscheff
another low T loser right here.

The level of trolling this guy is doing in all of these threads is of epic proportion. He's clowning everybody. Has to be. Nobody is this clueless on roster management or maintaining a competitive team. Not even Reds management is on this level.

i’m not sure which is worse. being an adult troll or actually believing the nonsense.
in any case, only low T losers don’t stand by the word.

Can we create a grading system where we grade posts on a 1-5 testosterone level?
1 = a castrated mouse
2 = an elderly jackrabbit
3 = a middle-aged coyote
4 = a young lion
5 = a mature Brahma bull on roids
Taylor is clearly a 6, a true alpha man, and all must bow down to his displays of ultimate courage with hypothetical roster construction where he shows no fear! Rawr!!
And just when I thought it was me that posted the dumbest thread of the day, SJ24 comes in to steal my thunder.

There's a mix of both, some luck of course. But you still need good players to win.
In your defense, you ended up being right haha.

I think I can live with the that assessment, given that its coming from you. Its probably about as accurate as all of your other hot takes. You are right, I do like to take potshots at people who post stupid things. Mostly because it encourages them to post other stupid things which I find really, really funny. Half of my life is going around looking for things that I find funny and you should be proud to know that you are a top tier contributor to that endeavor.

That much for a 1 inning pitcher, truly lost for words.
Okay, you've convinced me. I don't want to be low T and have to take Androgel or some crap.
I swear if the mods lock or delete this thread I'm joining Pussy Riot and I'm gonna eff some crap up.
I don't view him as a 1 inning pitcher, because I don't think we should pigeonhole guys into certain roles or innings.
Think more along the lines of 70 innings of badassery per annum.
And he's on a super friendly deal til he's mid-30s and sucks.
Bullpen guys are violatle, you shouldnt trade your top assets for them. Bad use of asset management.
Controllable hitters/aces, of course.
Chicago Cubs fans might disagree.
Testosterone level: 3...middle-aged coyote
There is a zero percent chance that he actually believes this nonsense. I mean at least we'd have pache left on the farm after all these clever moves. Depth is just a fancy concept that winning teams like the Dodgers fabricate. He talks about championships so would you rather have a 8-15%, might be high, chance of winning a championship for the next 10 years or just bust a nut and go for it and deplete the future for an extra 2-3% this year. Thus likely lowering your chance at championships in the future by a much greater percentage? If you would rather have the 2 championships that the Marlins had then there is a much better chance of accomplishing that by keeping an elite farm system in tact as their window is just opening.
Cubs fans miss Gleyber and Eloy i can tell you that much. If they could do it over, they would have kept Gleyber, and gotten a cheaper relief pitcher.
But Wave the Flag.

I live in Cubs country and I can tell you they wouldn't shut the hell up about their dynasty getting started. That tune changed pretty quickly and most would tell you that their trades have been disastrous. They have very little help coming as they watch their team slowly decline/under perform.
