    What year is this again? This is a BIG sign to me that Fredi needs to come back, especially now that he's educated in saber. Stars are aligning.

    Need to trade for Andrelton mid season after the Angels annual crapping of the bed to really get the band back together.

    I still can't get over how dumb of a trade that was. Now that Andrelton is an above average hitter he's one of the best players in baseball.

    MLB teams have now effectively stripped all the talent from FG that made it great. Unfortunately, they replaced all the talent with fluff writers.

    In an odd turn of events, then only thing that site will be good for now (other than a stat respository) is prospect content, which was what they were worst at a few years ago.

    I gotta say, I'm still salty over the Simmons deal, regardless of what happens with Newk. There was zero reason to trade him short of a big overpay. He was a generational defender on a super cheap deal and the bat clearly had some upside as he's shown the last 2 seasons.

    Yup. Had we kept him, we'd potentially have 4 players who could put up 5+ WAR in 2019, which is insane.

    One of the many reasons I believe the international scandal was the best thing to happen to this organization in a long time.

    I still don’t understand the fascination with signing him, especially with Camargo on the team.

    i'm sure AA would have been, too, if there were any money for it.

    versatility and great depth at a potential bargain was my reasoning.

    Really makes you question even further whether there's ANY money. $4+ million of that for 2019 would've been covered by ditching Duvall and Culberson (which also would've created 40-Man Roster space to add Riley whenever he's called up).
    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?

    Meh. Marwin is kind of redundant with Camargo here.
