Well....except he didn't tell us shit. He was just being incredibly vague and coy about it. Would have preferred he just said nothing, instead of stirring everyone up and then never explaining any further.

I'll stick up for Hahn because the only thing I can KNOW we can blame him for is trades, and extensions. And he's been very good in those areas. It's possible and likely that Jerry has completely handcuffed him in terms of spending big money.

Engel singles and steals 2B easily.

TA7 with a bomb to CF. Probably went 425 or so. He pimped it too.

Rendon will be 30. Cole will be 29. Puig will be 29. Bogaerts will be 27.

Hard to say "always", but yes, he looked great last ST and Fangraphs even had an article showing how much better his delivery was and how he may be on track for a James Paxton breakout year.....and then he reverted.

He looked fine. Wasn't missing many bats, but was getting pop ups and weak contact. The defense let him down.

How do you figure? Has a superstar (Sale), and about 5 other slamdunk all-stars. None are young, but many are great.

That sounds right. I remember Robles only being available in a Sale trade. I remember a few of us wanting Soto, but I don't remember if his name was ever mentioned publicly as available or not.

While I agree, you might want to freeze some swimmers just in case you ever change your mind. You are young enough that there is plenty of time to reverse your opinion on having kids.

Not the timing, but the potential loss in development or future success.

Well....yeah.

With Dunning going down, there is much more importance on Hansen figuring it out again.

I mean......you really dodged a bullet there.

I was thinking the same thing. I hope some pitcher emerges as a Top 3 pick.

And those are never exercised.

I haven't looked it up, but is Jokiharju a complete jinx or what? I feel like when he got sent down, this team took off, and then he gets called back up and they drop 2 straight games.

Machado, then Arenado, then Harper, as far as baseball talent goes. Harper, Machado, and then Arenado as far as cachet and putting this franchise on the map again.

Yup. Unless there is an opportunity to trade for some youngish stud, like Brandon Nimmo or even Tommy Pham who has 3 years left.

He actually had a huge positive swing in his BB% and K% in 2018. But he's 23 now in A+ still, so he needs to get going it together soon.

Have you SEEN he has a slow bat, or are you basing that odd of his lack of HRs, which could be more of a launch angle issue, or approach issue. Everyone says he has huge raw power.

I'll bet you Greg's house that at least one of those 4 guys is available at pick #3.

Guy, I think we have both died on the Jakson Reetz hill.

Mitch Haniger credits Lisle with reworking his swing.

Yup. With the #3 being the most one-sided of all of them.
