Next playoff team...maybe. I have no idea if half the players that Rick Hahn has traded for/drafted for this rebuild will be assets or hindrances going forward. So far the on field play plus the injuries hasn't given me a warm and fuzzy feeling about our chances in 2020. At this point it seems to me we're all hoping that Eloy takes off right out of the gate and frankly he needs to.

No see above. It would be cool. But I think there chances are close to zero and it isn't the right course of action.

Perfect because I've made it clear before that I want zero free agents added this year. There are a dozen question marks with the young players right now. A ton of bad play combined with guys making their debut this year. I want them to stay the course and continue to add pieces in the draft/trade.

No. I'll reiterate I think the chance that we are chosen is close to zero. Right now I think the Phillies and the White Sox are being used. I'm not sure either player actually wants to land in either place. So the agents are going to drag this process along until hopefully somebody else jumps in. Boras's last call for bids is going to be at the very last second.

I'd like Harper more than Manny so in short yes I would. But overall this process has been fairly irritating for me atleast. I'd like to see a shit storm for their agents when the teams with the most money are trying to bleed drop out.

Honestly it would be hilarious if the Phillies and the White Sox dropped out for both. That's what I'm hoping for at this point.

He said Manny in January and Harper....sometime later lol.

Sherman was saying on High Heat yesterday Harper could sign close to Superbowl Sunday. Yuck.

So hostile. This has been quite amusing.

See the problem is I was asked how I felt. Not if I make no mistakes. But glad I could help correct you. I'll bill you for my time.

Think you quoted the wrong one there mate. Well this has been entertaining.

I'm perfect thank you.

Your not excused. Sooner or later somebody will be right...maybe consult the crystal ball of your nearest psychic. Same result.

Hey guys....bad news. Japan will have an earthquake again. Maybe in 2018...maybe in 2019. Sometime in the future though for sure. Just have to wait for those tectonic plates to slip. But it'll definitely happen. Can't believe this forum fell for this shit again.

I see this has materialized

Well they've talked alot...they are good at that.

He got Dwight Howard being traded wrong atleast 2 or 3 times.

Just reading the past few pages. The guy is a fraud.

We're in incarceratedbob territory now....sweet

Yeah...who likes saving runs? Dumb statistic. I prefer bad outfield with horrible defensive WAR. Makes the game much more fun.

I agree. But I think the longer they stay in this rut the harder offseason will be without doing something "attention grabbing" .

I dont think they value a 30 year old pitch and a end of baseball career pitcher the same as two young position players.

I was assuming(more like hoping) he got the boot for a few weeks.

I'm not even really curious at where they go at this point. More like what's our Plan B. Does Rick Hahn try to save face and hit the trade market. Or shut it all down.

Oh BTW I'd like to thank the mods....this thread is much much better than the last one. Good discussion this morning so far.
