  1. Hope you’re all correct about Manning, but I personally don’t see it. He doesn’t really have an out pitch, though could still develop I suppose. I think he’s a 4th or 5th starter, at best. His low salary helps his trade value. I see him being added to a deal vs being the central piece, unless it’s for a Triple A catcher or someone like that.
  2. I think in Manning’s case, we’d be selling low.
  3. Pat Caputo suggested that the Tigers could trade Baddoo and Manning because we have depth at their positions. He left out that neither have much trade value.
  4. I count (7) HOF’ers. Wonder how many teams can match or exceed that within a similar timeframe.
  5. I think of him as an Expo. That franchise produced so many talented players and eventual Hall of Famers.
  6. The only way to build a winning team is through the Rule 5 draft.
  7. Hope you’re joking.
  8. Doesn’t sound like a promotion on the surface.
  9. Pitchers get hurt and don’t always regain their stuff. I think a 5 year deal is extremely risky. We just got out from under Miggy’s contract—do we want another with more considerable risk? If the going price is 6 or more years for a pitcher, I prefer we pass and try and grow our own.
  10. Blind squirrel 🐿️
  11. I thought the opposite. That seems steep for him. I thought he’d be 2/$24M
  12. The Cardinals had been very public about wanting to sign two free agent pitchers, which probably excited their fan base. Then they signed Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson. I really hope the rumors that we were in on Lynn were completely unfounded, otherwise I’m going to be very scared this offseason.
  13. Will be interesting to see how much love Torii gets from the writers
  14. That’s a shame. Willie brought a lot of great moments in ‘84.
  15. Atlanta and LA have a track record of being jokesters. Wonder if Nola laughed?
  16. Most of them paid over $200 a ticket, plus all of the ancillary expenses, expecting to see an easy W. Not the first time fans of any team have been fickle. SOL causes a lot of PTSD.
  17. I think it’s in a player’s wiring. I appreciate the hustle and commitment, but I’d rather take the occasional ball being safe than losing a crucial player for an extended period of time due to an injury.
  18. I would be shocked to see Turnbull DFA’d, unless they view him to be damaged. He’s the type of pitcher Harris would target in free agency—relatively low salary, one-year commitment with upside.
  19. Do they stay the A’s or embrace a new regional name?
  20. I don’t think he was saying “pass”
  21. Somewhere, Charlie O Finley is still dead
