Ozzie is much more entertaining in his role than almost any of the players are in theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just mindboggling to me a MLB team can go 27-82 and no one loses their job. Throw the fans a little bone. Tell them LaRussa has been banned from GRF..

Johno Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Steve Phillips just said, in a very nice way, that St Louis and Los Angeles took advantage of Getz on the Fedde/Kopech trade. He thinks the return was no where close to being enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Reality is - as soon as we hit tomorrow - some of the short-timers need to go and they need to give consistent at bats to Lee, Sosa, Colas and a bunch others over the next 2 months. I don't know what they'll do with Quero but you could put him on the list and obviously Vargas is a given. I'm sure I'm missing others - not saying you should rush everyone - but for those that have gotten enough expeirence and you need to see if they are MLB'ers or AAAA ers now is hte time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Deadline report card Crochet? Nope Robert? Nope Fedde 0% Banks B+ Pham 0%, no reason to have had him to get nothing for him Kopech 50%. if the LAD/STL deal was for him, 100%, with Fedde and Pham also going out, awful. Brebbia, Why is he still here? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Given the sheer number of young, low minor league prospects he got back in return clearly tells me this team is not investing in trying to be much better next season and I'd guess in 2026 either.

Tomas Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Our GM is totally inept. Surprised not in the least !! He came from KC. Two years ago we were considered as World Series candidates. Now we are the laughing stock of MLB. Let's not hold on to these LOSERS. GM and manager should have already been gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 My guess is if he took the best offer folks would have complained he lost the deal. Let's hope for a strong second half and an of season trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 If you were a GM my negotiating with the Sox would you give away the farm to make a deal? It's obvious we are desperate sellers. He probably kept getting low balled with every team expecting him to cave. A good GM would walk away and keep his guy. It's not like we have stars on walk years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
