    Typically players have a tough first year+... It's called being a rookie. Even Maddox sucked his first 2-3 years

    And this season is almost identical to his first. He is returning to form in my opinion. I would comfortable with him as a 4 in a rotation. Nothing nore than that.

    He was a prolonged rusty after an injury... His past few starts he's looked like his old self. It's not like he is the only player to come back rusty from an injury.

    Just can't fathom how y'all can be such homers. I'm sure it won't bother Justin at all of they ditch his brother.

    If we trade Minor, they better bring back Santana or have some other plans for another pitcher.

    Minor has sucked but he's still somewhat cheap and under control for the next 2 or 3 years.

    I would trade BJ but just depends what we gotta take back.

    He's watched him suck for the last two years just like the rest of us.

    FYP.

    I'm sure Justin likes BJ obviously but he knows baseball is a business.

    BJ has struggled and might need a fresh start somewhere else.

    Doubt it locks Justin into leaving.

    it would bother him, sure but BJ has been pretty awful.

    It's a business, something you dont know about.

    No one knows what Justin would think if it happened.

    Not sure what you mean by his first 1.5 yrs. Not sure if you are including 2010/2011 or what. I mean those were more like a cup of tea in the majors. Hard to take much of anything from those yrs. 2012 he started out bad, but finished great. 2013 he was great all season.

    I think you have to at least consider the repercussions trading BJ could have in negotiations with Justin. It may be that Justin understands the business aspect and doesn't let it affect negotiations. He could also hold resentment and feel his brother didn't receive a fair shake, despite how irrational that may be to an unbiased person. I mean we all know Freddie wasn't too happy when he heard the news about Uggla getting cut, and they were just friends.

    It's almost like you can't read numbers outside of ERA.

    I guess its unrealistic to think that maybe Justin wants to win and realizes his brother in Center hurts in that conquest? But look... I'm glad you hang out with the Uptons and know exactly what their dynamic is like. When they are both making millions of dollars I don't think there's gonna be tears and temper tantrums.

    What's funny is you are calling a number of us homers but the one saying you have no idea what you're talking about is a Nationals homer... so there's that...

    I'm right but it doesn't matter. Don't see us finding a trade partner.

    Did it bother Justin that he didn't get to play with his brother in Arizona? How many brothers get to play with each other their entire careers? They've only played with each other for 2 years. I doubt it's an issue for either one of them. Sure it's nice but I'm sure both realize it's a business. If BJ gets traded he has nobody to blame but himself.
