    Well I think the argument was that we should have taken the guys we traded for CC and gone after a pitcher that would have been around for more than half a year. If we did that I don't think we make the playoffs though. We barely made it as it was.

    Except for the walk he got while batting.

    Either way, I agree with the trade for CC. I know but I could easily be swung either way on them. If we extend Greinke I will like the trade a lot more.

    Who did we really trade away for CC? We Traded Matt LaPorta, Jackson, Bryson and Brantley. LaPorta being the only one who may have made an impact for us but we had Fielder at his position. I know the other side of the argument is we should have traded Fielder and promoted LaPorta. I disagree with that being the right move though. I agree that the Greinke and Marcum trades thinned our farm system. I am still 50/50 on those trades. I don't hate that we got into the playoffs last year but I think we could have been setup pretty nice for next year and several years after without those trades.

    I wish someone making decisions for this team agreed.

    or at the very least show the fielder fielding the ball.

    "Hart thinking about 3" well for chistsakes show him then instead of Ramirez lollygaging home.

    I wasn't thrilled with the first Braun extension let alone the second. We are going to be paying him long after he is gone.

    My only concern with the trading deadline is that Melvin will decide we should not be buyers.

    Not only one of the best pitchers parks but probably the best pitchers divisions with LA and San Diego included in it.

    My original thought was that you could somehow find pieces of wood the make the base taller so that it would be sturdier. Thicker pieces of wood to extend the base by a half inch or so. They may have those inserts at Northern Brewer in Milwaukee. They make SS ones also.

    You could probably do it yourself with some research. Start here. You can make a tap handle out of anything you can thread one of these into.
  13. logan82
    How are those Phillies doing?
  14. logan82
    So we bring up a starter to make one last ditch effort at a season we should have given up on weeks ago. Sweet.
  15. logan82
    Sure about that are you? Gomez keeps batting leadoff while Weeks bats way down the order. That is a completely different situation. One is who will get the playing time, the other is lineup positioning. Not really to different at all. He is sticking with his guy in both cases.

    As long as TT is back starting around the trade deadline I like this move. I would hate to see him in the pen for the rest of the season.

    Remember how the Astros acted at every single trade deadline year after year and how bad they sucked for so many years? Yeah, I don't want to be like that.
  19. logan82
    I wonder how players are treated if they bat behind good hitters. Maybe Braun's numbers have been better the last couple years because he had bad hitters ahead of him.
  20. logan82
    They will not trade Trumbo mid season in a playoff race.

    There were 2 very different directions that we could have gone in 2010. I think it will be very difficult to tell which was the better one to take except in hindsight and even then it depends on your overall baseball philosophy. If we do keep Hart it only makes sense if we can get some pitching in another trade. I know we have a lot of pitching in the minors but I am not sure if it is Impact Pitching™.
  22. logan82
    2011 really was closer to a 50/50 odds than the CC trade. I could see how in 2010 trading Fielder for a pitching prospect and sticking with the minor leaguers we had may have been a better choice. Escobar would be better tan anything we currently have at SS in the system. Odorizzi would be much better than anything we have for a MiLB pitcher and would be nice to have as a solid contributer as early as late this year. Lawrie would have been nice at the hot corner. I don't think it was the wrong move. We may have been better starting a rebuild in 2010 though. It is extremely difficult to tell who is the driving force behind these moves though, Melvin hasn't exactly had a propensity to trade for MiLB talent, but Mark A. seems to want to compete every year. By the way, almost every single move will be second guessed. That is the nature of message boards. If you disagree, present a thoughtful argument. Not that you haven't.
  23. logan82
    I probably said this a few pages back but it would be awesome to trade Greinke for a good SS then resign him after the season. Depending on what he asks anyway.
  24. logan82
    They had another year of Fielder after 2010 though (which ended up getting us into the playoffs with a team that should have gone to the World Series, embarrassing postseason performance aside). Simply no reason to keep Greinke if there is no extension and Melvin is getting decent offers. Also, I'm not sure why people are looking at 20/20 hindsight rosters and blaming Melvin for doing something wrong by making trades that got us two postseasons. That's like saying he's an idiot for not drafting Albert Pujols in the later rounds. Where is Matt LaPorta on this hypothetical roster? (exactly) Hart is signed through 2013. Most posters here are not looking at things in hindsight. Most of these opinions were the same as they were at the time of the trades. I know Crew07 has been against trading prospects for years.

    I am pretty happy with the Grinke trade but it is closer to 50/50 than 100% good. The lineup Dollarbill posted isn't all that bad and if you look back we could have traded Fielder for something as well. That roster depends a lot on how well Odorizzi would perform. Put that roster with one more decent pitcher and it is really strong. I wouldn't mind extending Hart for around $12m a year but I don't think we will be competitive enough in the next few years to make it worth keeping and extending him and I think that would be a huge underpay. At this point they need to start selling and building up our farm system. I don't know if it is Melvin or Mark A. that keeps pushing to be competitive year after year. I don't think it is going to happen. This seems pretty similar to the Fielder situation in 2010 except with a worse farm system. My guess is no trade.
