    Now that Adams is essentially Freddie Freeman, the Cards should be willing to pay more than Yepez.

    That was before he hit 5 HR in 23 games after the trade. His value is also clearly higher than it was at the time. I say we trade Adams for Yepez.

    And Adams has hit 12 HRs in 31 games at the MLB level.

    So who has hit 7 HR for them? Carson Kelly. Adams for Yepez and Kelly. Easy.

    Magneuris Sierra. Boom. And Delvin Perez has 0, so he should be an easy throw-in.

    So Adams for Yepez, Kelly, Perez, and Sierra.

    "I don't think trying Freddie Freeman at third base is a good idea."

    Sold!!!
    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?

    OT, but you might want to check tax policy during Americas ascendancy to the largest economy in the world.

    The United States was the largest economy in the world even before the federal income tax was implemented in 1916.

    Would love to hear you or Enscheff try to explain the mechanics of an economy that doesn't rely on an extensive amount of capital at the top.
