But that aside, my main thing is the mentality. Ive noticed many fans approach the deadline with apprehension. I have friends that are just so scared of giving up someting....and im in fantasy leagues with them and they never trade.....and they are always 100% optimistic struggling guys (on their teams) will turn it around and injured guys will come back. They hate the deadline, its my favorite day of the baseball year. Just two different mentalities. I like headlines and excitement

My thing is I dont like being all-in....all-out....or exactly in the middle. If its a sliding scale and one goal-post (on the left) is present and the right goalpost is future.....I never want to be all the way to one-side (either side) or in the middle either. I think there are times when we should be 75% focused on future / 25% focused on present and times when that should be flipped. I guess what I mean is, we should never equally prioritize present and future (because then we are prioritizing neither) but we should never be all-in on the present...and im not a big believer in complete tear downs eitehr because it can be a longer road back then people think....You can lose culture, identity.....all that stuff

and he has a pool

but hes driving my ass to fenway today soooo......

he also destroyed my peloton high score and it was so bad i stopped using my peloton for months but have recently gotten back on.

the mid 80s slider was when he closed for umass. the beer league softball team came later. he never pitched softball , he played 1b and moved to ss when my other buddy retired from the team with a shoulder injury....but i still wouldnt advise pissing him off when he was drunk even though he wasnt pitching anymore. He did whoop me in tennis last weekend. But hes got like 3 inches on me (6'3 vs 6'0) and is about 6 years younger (36 vs 42)

Worked for Yoshida.

Are you sure that "Breslow likes to keep top prospects" isnt a projection?

If Im the mets, I hold onto lindor over all these salary dumps.

Andy Marte returns!

wow, what a great audience

I feel you are paying a premium for his past performance and that hes a short stop, but modern science has shown that fielding is a young mans game, especially key positions, and if he ages into a less premium spot defensively....Im not sure I want to pay that excess price because of what it rules out. Id be more interested in Lindor if he came with a 2b (elsewhere) who cant play SS, becasue now Im paying a premium for Lindors ability to cover ss. You cnat get Torres and Blowe and ask one ot play ss. Im not not interested.

i actually may have lost the pap in a move.

i have a papelbom, pedroia, and betts jersey....may pick up a new one.....

im actually going to fenway today.
