    Arias, Pereira, Selvidge…

    Not sure Detroit would be all that interested in Kjerstad or Norby, kind of redundant to Greene/ Carpenter and Jung/ Keith.

    Jansen is not “way better” than Kelly, offensively or defensively, so just stop with that. Kelly was inhibited in the past by his injuries, but he is at least as good, right now, as Jansen. And while I would never say any kid can’t make it, they all have a shot if they keep developing, this was a poor return and I would prefer they acquire players with more developmental upside.

    Toronto managed it just fine.

    Not sure what your point is, they added very little value to the farm system, and you don’t, ideally, flip assets simply to create space. I surely didn’t expect any kind of haul for Kelly, but I did expect a little more upside, not basically organizational filler.
  6. Longgone
    The whole raison d’etre for rehabbing these veteran players and flipping them at the deadline is to add to your pipeline. This failed to achieve that. The accomplishment of restoring him to a valuable asset was wasted.
  7. Longgone
    I’ll give him a C; A for acquiring and fixing him, F for the return he got flipping him.

    Jansen was better than Kelly when Kelly was injured. He is not better than Kelly now. In any trade, try to get some upside, even if they are far away, not org fodder.
  9. Longgone
    That is a very weak return, very little upside, especially compared with what Boston gave up for Jansen.

    How did a major league club ever employ him as their GM? Or Dan O’Dowd for that matter.

    I’m not commenting on the equity of the proposed deal. I am saying a prospect the caliber of Holliday (and there are very few) must be included and you can’t just substitute quantity.
  12. Longgone
    Baltimore has a lot of good prospects, but Holliday is in a class above and would be a superior get.

    Navigato is basically an org guy, he goes where they need him, and if he has any chance to make the show, it will be as a utility player, jack of all trades

    It’s okay, stick with your baseless agenda. it’s fine to be critical of someone, but it’s better to deal in reality rather than just bitter venom.

    This is pure ignorance. No one is signing anything, until it is done. You want to blame Harris, yet you got nothing. The agent was trying to squeeze the Dodgers, they wouldn’t meet the abrupt, last second demands, no blame for them?
  16. Longgone
    Harris never blamed anyone or made any excuses. And no one puts these things in writing, it just isn’t how things are done, generally things are done with integrity, because reputations linger forever. No agent is going to sign off on any leverage they may have until a deal is in place.
  17. Longgone
    He did, and the agent turned around and ****** him at the last minute, reneging on an agreed upon deal.
  18. Longgone
    This is true of most any player at any time; if you get the right offer, you make the trade.
  19. Longgone
    Probably all but Siebert and Davis
  20. Longgone
    Actually, if the first two happen, they would probably acquire an actual first baseman.
  21. Longgone
    If Keith can hit like a first baseman and play a below average second base, leave him at second. If he can’t quite hit like a solid first baseman, then it would be stupid to move him there. If he doesn’t at all have the hands or movements of an infielder, for heaven’s sake, don’t assume he can handle first.
  22. Longgone
    Hey, if he can hit like a first baseman and play second base at all, leave him alone!
  23. Longgone
    Yes, sorry, I was overreacting to others
  24. Longgone
    If you want the opportunity for a future star player, you’ll target top minor leaguers, if you’ll settle for mediocrity, then insist on only major leaguers, because no one is giving up a star major league player. Sure, there’s more risk, but build the team with highly competitive players, not average ones.

    I could see them falling for a Theo Gillen, for the bat.
