joejoesox Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Is it wrong to be disappointed when Giolito has a WHIP over 0.8 in a game from here on out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was his #1 supporter by far People forget because you are mostly nonsensical. Your irrational hatred of a good player in Abreu makes no sense so no one pays attention to your other opinions.

Adam Eaton is a very good player but he is always an injury waiting to happen. To get three potential rotation starters for one good but not star OF is amazing. I still have faith in Lopez panning out due to last year but even if he can’t hack it as a starter, he could still make it as a dominant reliever. I still think the Quintana deal for what Cease and Eloy could become is the biggest robbery he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Giolito, Kopech, and Cease are all from different trades is awesome. And two of those guys came as a result of Hahn's forward thinking contract negotiations with Quintana, Sale. The crazy thing is our two brightest fielding stars came in those trades as well. At this point, the fire rick and kenny crowd is 95% meatheads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be more of an indictment of their scouting and player development, but also, who put those guys in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But where has that acquired trade talent been supplemented by drafting and free agency? 1/3 does not do the job. Need to see better results from the draft and more important free agency.

Also, are we counting Luis Robert, the best performer in the minors basically for any team as a free agent signing? I mean, it wasn't a draft pick. And JR opened the checkbook for him.
