Lack of juiced ball has made going to center and opposite way not a great strategy

What's incredible is Hahn couldn't even scrounge up a guy like Michael A. Taylor to replace Engel all these years.

Not even a lefty or much of a threat on offense, but still a better player.

How could they not get someone like Naquin at the deadline?  On what planet did they think this current roster was enough to compete.

We are driving ourselves crazy thinking this team is anything other than what it really is. A .500 team. They can't go on any kind of winning streak because they don't do anything consistently well enough.

They will end up in 3rd place about 6-8 games out of first.

Thank goodness College Football is only 18 days away.

When you have nothing anyone else wants? Or you're so desperate other teams demand a premium.

Jerry likely told Hahn "I gave you $200M, this was the maximum, and you spent it."

Can't blame Jerry in this instance. It's like giving a drug addict more money.

There were three guys in that tier.

Another was Gamel.  Who was the other??

Drury was over 800 against RHP and can play 5-6 different positions.

But no we had Leury.

And everyone in baseball can see all the problems with Moncada and Grandal.
