You're the one who said "why do you even care" so that's why I called YOU out. These guys are just posting exactly what they read here. Don't you see that? Or no?
"Why do you even care" is such a cop out. He cares because 1) this loser that you keep posting about clearly knows nothing and 2) when he enters the forum and sees there are new posts, he probably assumes it's something meaningful. This shit is not
Theoretically, sure. I'd trade Robert for Acuna, Fried and Swanson. I'd trade Anderson for Trout.
But those aren't realistic, so yeah unless Tatis becomes available, Robert is an untouchable.
Absolutely not. Wouldn't I WANT people to care who they are if that was the case? What is the point of knowing who they are? It's apparent that all of them are throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. Even if you told me one was WSD and one was Fathom, what good does that do us?
I think you all misread my post. I didn't say Blackmon was young, good defensively and offensively, and had a reasonable deal. I was saying finding guys like that are hard to find. Those kind of guys aren't typically available. Blackmon is 2 of those 4 though and yeah there will be sacrifices made- specifically defensively- but he can hit and his contract isn't awful. That's all I was saying.
Finding someone who's good defensively, good offensively, young, and has a great contract are hard to find. Blackmon can hit & his contract isn't terrible + can probably be had somewhat inexpensively. Maybe they can acquire him & Marquez rather than the oft-rumored Lynn & Gallo trade
Let's just close this thread & keep it pinned for the work Balta put into it, but my god this response deserves to be one of the last.
Good for you for sharing this and having not only a first hand pov but for giving such a well-thought-out comment.
