    Of course, but players are aging better than ever. And Mayer has proven absolutely nothing. He gets lumped in thought wise with Anthony in fans' mind. He is NOWHERE near that level. Nowhere. Most prospects (which I'd still count Mayer to be considering he's played so little) flame out. Not some. Most. There's nothing more exciting than seeing a prospect come up and thrive. But you should spend them relatively often for players that have a stellar record of delivering.

    Okay but when we were talking about whether we'd be better in certain situations a week or so ago you were highlighting all the steps forward players would be making, and dismissing regressions. You can't have it all ways Hugh! 😆 He's the single best 2nd baseman in the game. If you get a chance to get him, and for only $17m (LT tax hit) a year, you do it. Especially for an injury prone question mark. If we're worried about payroll or lack of infield depth, we can trade Duran for a young infielder. Or let Casas and Romy share 1st and go get a 3rd baseman. Getting Marte for Mayer is unlikely to happen, but it would make us hugely better with still plenty of flexibility to make trades for the other holes, or to sign FA's.

    I don't think it will likely be the ask - they seem to want pitching - but there's definitely noise around it. If it absolutely is who they want - you do it. We have no idea who Mayer is yet either as a hitter or around health, and at best seems to a platoon right now. If you can get THE best 2nd baseman (a position of need) who hits with power, then you do it and figure out the rest.

    I'd say Crawford has the better track record for sure, but we don't know how he's coming back from two major injuries and he gave up a lot of HR's. I'm not sure his value is very high to many teams right now. It sure wouldn't be surprise to me if teams valued Dobbins higher.
  5. Hitch
    Indeed. Sign Bregman. Or go for a stop gap and fix it next year if need be.

    I've been one of the posters advocating the most for trading KC - the kid has beefed up!
  7. Hitch
    Yeah, I don't see Bo going back to the Jays, and I don't see Schwarber going back to the Phillies. Though both are possible, of course.
  8. Hitch
    Why is giving up Crawford more crazy than Dobbins or Harrison?
  9. Hitch
    Again, agreed. I didn't see either of his last two trades coming. Not even imagined them. He's going to make some big moves this week, but they might not be obvious ones. And if nothing else, that's exciting. Seeing a lot of noise around Diamondbacks wanting Mayer for Marte. Do it all day as long as there are no character questions around Marte.
  10. Hitch
    Same. I really don't understand why people would think they are not going over.
  11. Hitch
    Criswell claimed by The Mets,
  12. Hitch
    Another reason to doubt Schwarber - we lose our 2nd and 5th picks if we sign a QO guy. That doesn't sound like something Bres would do.
  13. Hitch
    Yeah, lots of moving parts. Mixed reports coming out only muddies the waters.
  14. Hitch
    Isn't that the truth!
  15. Hitch
    Yeah, the moves are somewhat surprising in ways, I'm looking forward to what's coming next, because clearly we aren't done.
  16. Hitch
    Yeah, it really makes little sense, but the main national journos keep banging the drum about it. Cotillo and McAdams think absolutely not.
  17. Hitch
    I don't understand why anyone would get this angry before the off season is over. Just chill out and see if there's a reason to be angry. Jeez.
  18. Hitch
    There is a LOT of continued talk about us being seriously in on Schwarber this week. Confusing to me with the way the roster is currently aligned, but I won't complain if we get him.
  19. Hitch
    Harrison and an outfielder definitely feel the most likely. Should bring back something very good, too. Saying that, Bres has surprised me on both trades, so I wouldn't be surprised to be blindsided again.
  20. Hitch
    I was just about to post the same thing ha!
  21. Hitch
    Hmm okay, looks like I had it wrong then,,.

    Further to this discussion -
  23. Hitch
    I'm pretty sure the sites are behind and that we were at 39 before this move (and after). I may be wrong, but that's what I've just seen.
  24. Hitch
    I agree. I've been thinking this since Gray. I feel like either we move Bello for an upgrade to the rotation, or some of our 5-10 pitchers are getting moved for infield help.
  25. Hitch
    Also, really hard to judge Crawford's value right now after a lost year. Teams would likely be trying to get him on the cheap.
