The 2017 MLB Thread

[ckfree]

i dont like the nationals trade package anyway

not liking robles being the position player centerpiece in the deal

need guys that are closer to mlb level to have more info on them and feel better about their future success

less risk

if its washington im gonna be sick

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Robles is legit but he's 19 and in single a(I coulda swore LOW A at that)

Giolito gets mixed reviews from the scouting reports I read he wasn't that dominant in the minors and didn't impress in his call up lol @ them being the headliners

I think the nationals being used like the lakers are in free agency every summer

in that video buster says the white sox in july asked boston for betts + benintendi + prospects for sale

lmao

no wonder boston wants nothing to do with the white sox

SHIT

if im dombrowski im not talking to hahn until he apologizes first

thats insane

 

[ckfree]

giolito is 22 years old with just 21 innings in the majors so its way too early to call him a bust

if he was 24-25 and pitching like this itd be different

given his rankings and hype i did expect better numbers in the minors though

which is part of the reason why im not sold on him but what concerns me the most is that he has an injury past and his arm action suggests future problems

i just dont like washington as a match for their lack of bats

no hitters are close

prefer boston, houston, pittsburgh

 

[ckfree]

if im chapman

when i go sign my new contract with whatever team ends up signing me

i would use my right hand to put a pen in my left hand

then use my right hand to lift up my left arm to sign the contract

just so i can see the look on the faces of the executives of the team im about to be employed by

Unlike the yankees the red sox developed a farm ,yankees were signing every 28-29 year old free agent to 6-7 year contracts

dombrowski has never met a farm system he didnt love to drain

i prefered benintendi but baseball people swear by moncada

he look like hershel walker at georgia

6'2 205

hes a monster

robinson cano but faster

this is the advantage of big market clubs

the red sox outbid everybody for moncada and all they ended using him for was facilitating a trade for chris sale

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Scouting report says Moncada gotta work on the defense it said he wasn't good at 3b/2b the defense and cutting down on strikeouts are the only weaknesses

Kopech got a good report he's like syndergaard

this is true

a core roster of sale, quintana, rodon, abreu, eaton, frazier, robertson and anderson is pretty damn solid given the team friendliness of their contracts and these players being in their primes

smh

fuck it

white sox farm system just moved to 15 from 25

i hope wshington now turn focus to quintana

such a unique situation to have 2 pitchers of this caliber being dealt from same team because if youre the white sox no point in keeping anyone if you traded sale

sell the whole team and just trot out 20 year olds

Kopech got a good report he's like syndergaard

hes got bust potential

thats why i wanted benintendi

i like his floor more

but this is the beginning of reigniting the franchise

a direction has been chosen

thats what im most excited about

now trade jimmy butler lol

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Devers all the red sox got left,Dombrowski gutted that system wit the quickness.I been sayin he don't value young players/prospects he always has done this for the most part.Red sox were being coy waiting to pounce
https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/806208065678741504

The white sox should try to get bellinger for frazier and robertson

 

[ckfree]

sale and boston

a racists paradise

he is gonna fit great there

clown

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

I think the reports of the trade being close are to get other teams involved.

I followed too many nba rumors for years to not figure out how it works, gm's do this intentionally

They be probably spamming reporters texts with these leaks

word is fowler would prefer to play in a bigger market not stl

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

I'd probably keep quintana unless they get overwhelmed.Abreu too since he's cuban like moncada.I always noticed soler and chapman were tight cuz they were fellow countrymen

Eaton,robertson,frazier and cabrera would get traded.Lowrie is a fa after next season so I'd keep him cuz moncada should be in the minors to at least start '17

OH BABY

its a sign

word i hope moncada goes through aaa next year

they better not rush him

i swear to goddamn they better not
