    I think it started with an illness, or maybe it started before, but was made worse by an illness He dropped weight, didnt need to drop the weight (obvs) and has been struggling to gain it back.

    I wrote you that

    Vaughn "soon to be gone" grissom Sounds like you wont even miss him
  4. drewski6
    Is he on 40 man?
  5. drewski6
    Because he wasnt "such an asset" , hes an option for a back end 4 or 5 starter to finish out the season, who will likely be long relief in postseason.

    Thats a false choice. Trading Duran, the locker room goes to crap, you lose that spark. We dont HAVE to play Masa May wont be in our playoff rotation It didnt have to be Ryan or May, my theory is that we were laser focused on Ryan and were left scrambling. What about the dude on the pirates who wasnt even traded? I wanna see Tolle!

    stone cold quote on summerslam weekend = points
  8. drewski6
    Ill take Duran.
  9. drewski6
    I think its 50% he (May) makes under 5 starts
  10. drewski6
    ANd call up pw too (DH)

    so if we swung and missed on real acquisitions, we prob have 40 man roster spots available , right? Notin, if you wanna talk about having good prospects being a deterrent , it may apply here. Maybe they want 40 man spots to give tolle a shot. Im a big believer that the more times a pitcher and a batter match, the more that favors the batter. Ive seen bats struggle against a mediocre arm because its the first time they are seeing that mediocre arm. Im hopeful we get a juicy call up. Tolle is 22, call him up.

    context appreciated, and agreed if talking ryan exclusively thats different from talking about deadline buys more generally. Agree with second paragraph sound like a big part of this was that we were too focused on ryan. one likely situation is that they had planned on an OF for Ryan swap but when cedanne got moved to infield and toro going cold they thought they no longer had the bat to spare and were sent scrambling for a plan b. and breslow is too stiff to effectively scramble. hes like bloom. Everything needs to be soooo methodical and soooo planned , and hes just afraid to make a move without scrubbing it to death. This feels like the very definition of analysis paralysis. I would have been happy with mitch keller and bednar. Like ross in that episode of friends: "PIVOT!!!"

    someone who argued with you quite a bit these last 50 hours, i cant argue. We always tank immediately after it being too late to intelligently tank.
  14. drewski6
    or its ownership and he was trying to dump money lol. "Nobody would accept our packages!!" (what hes not telling you is every one contained masa lol)
  15. drewski6
    how did the yankees make 7 trades, but we can only trade from a pool of Anthony or duran (all-star), abreu (gg), cedanne (all-star snub) ? Are our second tier prospects (anyone not named Anthony, Tolle) that bad? Other teams found ways to add big, but it seems like our only options were zero-sum buyer-buyer trades or trading anthony? Why do these limitations apply to only us? My best guess is bloom cant sell. Stiffs usually cant
  16. drewski6
    Thats on bres though. Its not like trades never happen when someone makes a stab for x and gets switched. You think we approached the dodgers with verdugo as our top target? Bres stinks at talking, people who stink at talking usually stink at selling. Selling other GMs is a big part of the job. I think people just dont want to talk to him. Hes a stiff
  17. drewski6
    Yeah, buyer-buyer trades are rare and when they do happen, its usually bad contract for bad contract swap with idea being : "maybe change of scenery will rejuvenate a has-been" A buyer-buyer trade of plus assets is a subset of a subset
  18. drewski6
    Is this supposed to make me feel better? Cuz I give May 3 starts until hes either pulled for tolle (my hope), hurt, or innings capped
  19. drewski6
    I think that pretend deadline buys are PR in many cases. Too often it involves low-impact moves or deck chair on the titanic swaps involving players on the wrong side of 30 (or upcoming free agents) and sends a message to the fans about willingness to spend prospect capital. Doesnt the team getting a sixth starter and a fifth bullpen arm provide some cover? My friend joey just texted me Im happy : "we needed a couple pitchers, we got a couple pitchers!" He said the same thing when we got james paxton and rich hill

    I thought it was established that he was canned for being gun-shy, but i could be wrong.
  21. drewski6
    it is pointless to discuss whether its tampering to tell players that they are part of your future plans when they are upcoming free-agents (its not)
  22. drewski6
    No but I knew a guy who would always want to smoke my pot and when he would come over i would say "got any treeeeees?" (like urkel says got any cheese, making fun of him) your catchphrase is "its really just PR" would you agree that sometimes GMs make low impact deadline moves for PR? Dont say we didnt do anything, we swapped sinking assets!
  23. drewski6
    If they make the playoffs, I think they'll be regretting their snoozer of a deadline even more. The most shocking part is this was the stated reason balls-less bloom was fired. Breslows balls arent hanging particularly low right now. I fire him immediately.
  24. drewski6
    say it! say your catch phrase!!

    we're onto summerslam.
