Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Nimmo is a CAA guy. Van Weenie ain't trading away one of his guys. Go for Conforto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Fraizer is also a CAA guy and he's likely to be dealt soon. Brodie is worse at his job than he already appears if he allows his past life to affect his decisions as a GM.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Frazier already got his money and is a free agent after the season. There are at least 10 (I stopped looking) of his former clients on the Mets current roster so I'd say his past life has greatly affected his decisions as a GM.

Except maybe for Garcia, who we should keep. He's not a bad player. Reminds me a little of De Aza in a good year. Yolmer, Engel, Jay? No way anybody wants them IMO.

A lot of you think Abreu blows at this age, but as far as a hitter, he is a fricking all-star. I'm not saying you get the haul we got for Sale, but you get 2 damn fine prospects and one flier on a prospect. Seriously folks, you undervalue Jose, but he could be a nice piece for Boston for several years. He helps them win the title this year then signs and plays there til 37. Not everybody is afraid of a guy's years 32 to 37-38. Go Jose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked if he was older than he says. Never stated it as fact. Some of you guys make stuff up. This is a flat out untruth. I have never said he's 35 and you know why? I have no idea how old he is. And guess what? It's fair to ask if some guys are older than they say. If he's the age he says he is, great.

Boston is 3 games back in WC with 1 team in front of them. We are 9 back w 4 teams in front. Love to see Boston miss out especially to an AL Central team. But they have more home games( where they have struggled) than any team in MLB left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 With the recent pen troubles of the Dodgers, I think they might swing a trade for both Colome and Bummer, which I would be fine with, hopefully headlined by Dustin May. If Boston wants Abreu, I would trade him for Houck and Mata, then resign him in the off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, but if you are a contender there have to be better options than trading a real prospect, a can't miss, to Chicago for Colome, a guy who we acquired for just Narvaez. This year we truly are overvaluing our guys. Picture yourself as a GM. You don't acquire Bummer and Colome for a stud. Not to mention my prediction Bummer is somebody the Sox have no reason to deal. Too young for the flip mania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is certainly no reason to be trading Jose for a box of rocks. Until reinforcements get here someone has to knock in some runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
