That's why you go for it when you have an opening and cash in on prospects while their stock is high.

Arrieta stopped juicing in a contract year. Lackey got old overnight. Russell still can't hit and Schwarber has been an abomination.

Tigers talking about blowing it up in June and having a fire sale. The time for that was over the winter. Nobody has value on the roster besides JD. :martin:

the A's refusal to call up Olsen and Chapman is outrageous. Plouffe and Matt Joyce? why?? whats the point with shyt like this, constant 30 y/o filler and pushing guys ETA's back. waste of time

fielding is bad, no chemistry in the infield the OF is blah. i knew it would be bad when they rolled that roster out but damn

I think russell shoulder still ailing but baez is better than russell been saying it for years.Chicago media are group thinkers who say russell is untouchable in trade talks but baez should be moved which is laughable.

To be fair to schwarber only has 4-5 months of mlb service time he's still young but he's been awful and been missing meatballs

Some Astros fans are talking down on Bregman. He's still a damn rookie and still adjusting to the big leagues. Some guys just need more time to fully develop.

Also AJ Reed has similar numbers to Rizzo his rookie year and people think he's a bust and don't even got 100 plate appearances. Just gotta be patient with young kids and hope they able to adjust.

Many times those overly hyped guys just become average players. Joc Pederson, Byron Buxton, Gregory Polanco, Desmond Jennings, Justin Upton, Joey Gallo, Jurickson Profar, JD Drew, Matt Moore, Alex Gordon, Evan Longoria, Jesus Montero, Jason Heyward, Matt Weiters...the list goes on and on.

Super 2 and they might want to have them around with potentially a new stadium around
