  1. yeah, because its a lot harder to negotiate from a position of power on the phone than it is by emotion-less email and text.
  2. Its a little... TOO quiet... http://38.media.tumblr.com/AvGRKCOeyjff8pqxw7gDhYCKo1_250.gif
  3. Because there's a chance you could sign the free agent. I guess I don't see him saying he's going to retire as a guarantee he's not going to play next year. Going back to Pittsburgh and playing for a winning team might make him want to play another year. how often do players go back on their retirement commitments? 1 out of 1000? maybe? I honestly can only think of one player in the last couple decade, that being Clemens. When a player says they're going to retire, its pretty much a sure thing. Those who "unretire" tend to be premadonna's, and we can all agree that is not Ramirez.
  4. The fact hes retiring makes it definitive
  5. AWWW YEAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! WINNING RECORD!!!!! #WINNING
  6. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO first off, Alvarez is a Boris player, so he'll be gone in a year no matter what. second, Alvarez is TERRIBLE on the field. If/when he leaves the Pirates it'll be to an AL team where he can end up a DH. He's the Yuni of the corner positions.
  7. Just lost their SS for awhile, Kang is now their starting SS, leaving a bigger hole at 3B. Ramirez to the Pirates makes so much sense, that it'll probably not happen.
  8. trade Ramirez to a playoff team. Pirates need a 3B option now that Kang is moving to SS with Mercer out. Dont move him to a positions he's never played.
  9. I am A-OK if they dont trade Lind. I enjoy having a 1B who can hit regularly!
  10. YES!!!!!!!! SO MUCH THIS!!!!!!!
  11. Now that the pirates have no 3B, trade rami to them to end his career in the town it began
  12. http://i0.wp.com/www.dailycal.org/assets/uploads/2013/10/haha-good-one-gif.gif
  13. the few catchers I put at the level of Lucroy are Molina and Martin. Molina signed a 5 yr $75 mil deal after his age 29 season and Martin did a 2 year $15 mil deal after age 29. He then signed a 5 yr $82 mil deal after his age 31 season. I could see Lucroy hitting the free agent market after his age 31 season to get paid like these two, but I see him in milwaukee through next season. (2017 is a team option, I could see him being potentially traded after the 2016 season)
  14. Knowing what you know now, I urge anyone who still holds Braun in high regards to go on You Tube and re-watch that press conference. It's cringe worthy. Its one thing to make mistakes or have a lapse in judgement. Everyone has done things they regret. However, when you get away with something that you know you did and then have the nads to throw it back in everyone's face with a "See, I told you so" press conference and talk about how everyone is out to get you, that's another thing all together. All he had to do is release a message stating that he was glad with the result, he's glad it's over, and he's looking forward to focusing on baseball. Instead, he basically doubled down. I don't hate Braun, I just lost a ton of respect for him in regards to that whole situation. Also, I'm annoyed by some of the posts that suggest that people are taking it personally. I'm not taking it personally. I don't have to feel personally hurt by someone in order to have a low level of respect for them. I mean... back during that presser, it was prettyrewarding as a fan to shove it back at the media, who up to that point villanized him. Granted, looking back its different now knowing what all transpired, but i do not blame him for doing what he did at that time, especially since he was so adamant he was innocent, and won the appeal.
  15. the AZL team is FUN to follow.
  16. It would honestly be awesome if they traded players and kept winning. top 20 pick here we come! Trade us your competitive round picks, too!
  17. Also,once he won he couldnt start going against his story or hed open himself up to lawsuits
  18. Whats better is that braun is replacing a golden child
  19. i am back from vacation in the mountains surrounded by way more brewers fans than any other sport, all in the midst of an 8 game double sweep. I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW EXCITED I AM TO SEE THIS TEAM WIN MAYBE I NEED TO GO CAMPING MORE OFTEN!!!!! IIIITTTSSSS HAAAPPPEEENNNNNIJNNNN NG GGFGGFF
  20. he's making $3 million dollars. on a payroll over 100 million. So trading him saves 1.5 million. thats literally nothing (1% of the team payroll), and a moot talking point.
  21. his salary? he's not making that much money.. its not like the Brewers are broke
