I doubt he's here when we get good again....that being said I don't see anything wrong with that quote. Ya'll are nitpicking again. What's wrong with him building his team up and looking for positives?

It doesn't bother you that he thought we had less than three ks when we actually had seven and six in a row at one point? And three by Dunn all by himself.

I wasn't talking about the trades. I was talking about what you said about the next few years in agreement with Niners, etc.

Odds are we arent gonna be very good the next 2 years.

There isnt a ton to be excited about right now but we have the money to make some splashes next winter.

I held out more hope for 2016 before some of the last few trades, but now not so much because it's no longer just our offense that concerns me. It's also our bullpen so I am afraid we mostly agree now. Then again most of our issues have been over Fredi so we still have that, lol.

Oops.....that's what I get for posting at work. I just assumed we didn't have a lot of k's, I thought he was trying to look for positives to give his team confidence. Aren't you supposed to look at the box score before you talk to the press or at least have it in front of you? I stand corrected.

Yeah. If he was right, I definitely wouldn't have a problem with it.

We have alot of money available next year, so who knows what they could get.

Probably not a Ces/JUp/Heyward type but probably need to use some of the pitching to trade for a power hitter.

Could sign a Span/Fowler type, trade for one, reload the pen, and maybe sign a SP.

But without Kimbrel now, i agree.

Regarding Fredi, hard to tell now.

I'd say both of y'all have your thing going like clockwork. :)

I think San Diego's experiment is going to backfire on them. I don't think the Giants will luck in again. I think the Cubbies will disappoint with all the hype even after they call up Bryant. I think the Pirates will regress. Cincinnati will continue to regress. Washington likely wins the division, and the Marlins are a question mark. Lots of talent but can they keep it together for an entire season.

We actually have some veterans, even though they're not great quality. I think we may catch lightening in a bottle and luck into the playoffs. I'm expecting a huge season from Julio and Alex, especially a big one from Wood. I think our bullpen will surprise. It won't be the O'ventbrel days, but it will be steady enough not to hurt us from getting one of the wild card spots at minimum. Peraza could give us a boost if he figures it out downstairs, and we have tons of money to play with at the deadline with tons of prospects who we can ship right back out. Plus, we have Fredi.
