@Knights89 @wire28 @SwiggyCabrera24 @MercuryHayes @Detroit Wave @eastside313 How is this team so delusional when it comes to the pen?

I'm waiting for the year that Boras waiting so long on his players burns him

Red Sox should just pony up the money rather than trade prospects for Hamels (who I'm skeptical is good in the AL) and pay him

It makes no sense

If we add Max or Shields it puts us over the top as a legit contender in the AL

Until it does, gotta trust Boras. He gets his money one way or another.

Boras does fukk up Hot Stove like this. To think normally this happens over draft pick compensation, NOT money and they're still out there.

It might be this year with Scherzer. Turning down that Detroit offer last year was incredibly arrogant and it seems like other teams are turned off on pursuing Max as a result.

boog powel is far from a top 10 prospect let alone top 3

russell,mckinney and The real jewel here, though, is Daniel Robertson, who MLB.com and Baseball America rank as the Athletics’ top prospect.The loss of Robertson is another hit to the Athletics’ farm system that lost plenty of talent in the Samardzija deal with the Cubs last summer

Beane has become a mad scientist. "Catchers and Shortstops aren't very good around baseball, so I shall trade ALL of mine! hahahaha" dude constantly goes out of his way to paint over his canvas bc some insane set of calculations claim the team will be a win better in a perfect world.

can i know his success? yes and no. Obviously they're always there in the thick of it, but they are never winning the whole thing. never.

if you're a true fan of baseball then you have to know the difference between constructing a team for a 162 game season and 1 for a 1 or 5 game playoff series is completely different

please tell me you're not an idiot conzie

i may have said it earlier in this thread, but as a fan of a team that is constantly shytty... why the fukk are teams like Colorado and Milwaukee not blowing the fukk up? They have no chance in hell to compete this year, or in the next couple of years, start a full rebuild already. Get assets for your big names now, it's not like they both have shyt fanbases who won't come back. the best seat in Miller park is like $14.

oh and Colorado - trade me fukkin Tulo already you fukkin idiots
