    They are getting to the point where they should probably trade Trout for something. Team hasn't done anything really with him.

    I think the surprise this offseason will be how much AA values certain things that can't be quantified like veteran laidership and team chemistry.

    Simmons would have great chemistry playing next to Albies, Albies was dreaming of playing with him in the past before he was moved.

    $87 MM going to Pujols over the next three years. They should probably do the Bobby Bonilla with him. Up it to $120 MM and spread it out over twenty years, but only if he agrees to retire. I was shocked to see that he only has one season with > .800 OPS since he signed with the Angels.

    They're gonna offer a lifetime contract to Trout this winter, i kinda hope he accepts just so he may not sign with Philly when he's a FA even though a player like Trout deserves so much better than he has been.

    If AA can acquire Trout and Simba without giving up Acuna or Albies he should be given a statue.

    Simba is the player I want above all others. The games just aren't as fun to watch as they were when he was here.
    Go get him!

    Simba checks all those marks. The only person who probably wears their emotions on their sleeves when on the field as much as Ender does was Simba. Especially defensively.

    Maybe rename this thread ''AA is a great fiddle player as it turns out''

    Frazier is hitting .215 with a .693 OPS this year, man that is worse than Swanson. Camargo's 800+ OPS beat him easy this year.

    I want Simmons back too. Watched some of his Angels highlights the other day. Age isnt going to slow him down, his awareness is off the charts.

    He's only got 2 years left on his current deal. Assuming he'd even become available, which I find it hard to see, what would be the cost? 5.1 WAR last year and 5.4 this year, and signed to very reasonable contract.

    We traded the Ozzie Smith of our generation :/

    **** if we can get Trout and Simba giving up Albies and keeping Riley that would be ideal. While Albies is superior to Swanson and it's pretty clear Swanson won't hit his offensive high projection, but can you imagine the sickness of a Simmons/Swanson middle infield for defense? I mean again it would suck to lose Albies, I'd much rather have Ozzie but I wouldn't let him stop me from getting Simmons and Trout. Can you imagine if we can keep Ender having an outfield of Trout, Inciarte, and Acuna? 2 top hitters, top defense, etc.

    If the Braves wind up with Simmons and Trout without losing Acuna, please alert me so I can protect myself against the flying pigs.

    Man, no kidding. He was the sole reason I wanted to actually watch the games after the teardown. I think my initial take on that deal was the right one: wtf were we thinking?

    You have to look at who was running the ship at the time. Defense clearly wasn't something they thought about so to them Simba was essentially worthless. I mean they thought Kemp was acceptable in left so yeah.
