    Villar is exactly the kind of player we should want and be drooling over. He plays middle infield and has stellar stats. You have to be aggressive to steal all the bases he does and advance extra bases like he does on a weekly basis. I have no idea if he keeps it up or can play like this every year, but as it stands he has been incredibly valuable to this team. No way should we be looking to get rid of him.

    Here we go again. We have a player who takes risks on the base paths and people think he is worthless to us.
  3. MrTPlush
    Yes

    Marte...fine. But Jay Bruce...uhh..........

    His D looked pretty good, but hard to give an opinion on his offensive performance. Cleveland's defense in the paint looked horrendous and if you are 7ft. that doesn't give you much of a challenge. Give him a challenge and I am betting his offensive would be pretty non existent. His ceiling hinges on his offense. Won't take him long to be ready defensively.

    Glad you can decide Garza's fate after a grand total of 5 starts. Not to mention he didn't get a whole lot of time after being cleared to pitch in games(11 innings in the minors). I bet you called Aaron Hill washed up garbage after the month of April too. Jeez give the guy some time. Maybe he is no better than last year, but to come to that conclusion after 5 starts is jumping the gun regardless.

    Guerra isn't even close to being on the same level as Fiers. A team may want Guerra in a deal, but it won't make a deal suddenly include Brett Phillips(like Fiers did).

    Too bad the Giants system stinks. He would fit there pretty well, plus they have money coming off the books after this season (roughly $50M), so paying him going forward wouldn't be that difficult in their salary structure. The Giants could always just take on the full contract and the Brewers wouldn't have to kick in any money. Then take that saved money and sign some international free agents. Sure they would get limited for two years, but it isn't like he hand out many big contracts anyway. A couple of the elite international guys would be a pretty stellar get on top of whatever we get out of the Giants. A little outside the box, but it could be done.

    I assume Garin Cecchini will have to wait for an eventual Chris Carter trade. Doubt they want him at third base.

    I doubt no leaked scandal would have made him like "every other user". Not only is he way better than 99.9% of current day users(that have been caught), but he also won the MVP award the year he got busted. I bet he would still be quite hated regardless for those reasons.
  11. MrTPlush
    Yah Alvarez is legit. Probably would have to take him as the main piece if they would even be willing to deal him.
  12. MrTPlush
    They don't even need to give him a raise. Sorry bud this is how the game works. Sucks for him, but that is the reality of things. They didn't need him and could swap him out for something they could use. Boras should be mad about the system if anything.
  13. MrTPlush
    Thanks Hill for a nice couple months. I enjoyed you making all the people calling for you to be released immediately look silly. Got a pair of interesting players in return. Nothing great, but way better than releasing him in ST!

    It's all about how the media takes it, the fact Ryan Braun was one of the best in the game at the time, and the fact he won the appeal. Because I guess not being as good makes everything a little less bad like the PEDs aren't doing anything. The fact the news broke of an appeal really hurt him too. Not because the test came up, but because it turned into this big melting pot story for months. It was just a disaster situation and a big dose of karma for Braun. In my opinion Cabrera isn't that much better for what he did...except he lost his appeal: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8282185/san-francisco-giants-melky-cabrera-launched-fake-website-ruse-report-says

    That's the kind of conspiracy thinking I like to see. I doubt there is any truth to it but what the hell else would Stearns be doing in Oklahoma City? Stearns has mentioned that he takes routine trips to all the affiliates. This could be that or something more. I'm sure he was there for a reason more than just a typical visit. Dodgers are a good trade partner.

    "What could have possibly happened to it during that 44-hour period (before the collector took the urine sample to FedEx)? There were a lot of things that we learned about the collector, about the collection process, about the way that the entire thing worked that made us very concerned and very suspicious about what could have actually happened...We spoke to biochemists and scientists and we asked them, ‘How difficult would it be to tamper with somebody’s sample?’ And their response was that, ‘If they were motivated, it would be extremely easy.’" He inferred that the collector had likely tampered with his sample and that is why it was a failed test. I'm sorry but he made that collector look horrible and made people think the collector did something wrong. Now of course if he didn't know he had taken something maybe this would have been no big deal, but he did. In the end Braun talked way too much. He should have left it at "The collection process wasn't correct" and been done with it. Instead he seemed confident this was buried forever...unfortunately for him that plan backfired badly. I don't really care either way, but I hate when people act like Braun didn't go after the collector. He did and more than just saying he didn't do his job right(not getting it to FedEx fast enough). Is it a bit overblown? Probably, but it doesn't mean he didn't do it.

    I think more people have a problem with him trying to buy a ticket for $1,000 that isn't suppose to be resold and only attended for military personnel and their families. Also the fact of how he brags about himself to try and convince people to sell a ticket to him or to bring him along.

    How do we know he won't just falter once his innings her high. Some pitchers just simply burn out towards the end of the season. He could very well burn out once the innings pile up as huge increases in innings can effect each player differently. I doubt teams get all that interested in him. When you are in a pennant race you don't want some no name 31 year old rookie. You want a guy with a track record. I'm betting most teams would prefer Norris over Guerra. Guerra is doing what so many other pitchers do as dominate right when they come up. I called it before he even threw a pitch at the MLB level this year. That being said the market is pretty weak this year so anything is possible. Guerra at best is a last resort for teams and someone they expect to acquire for pennies.

    I got a good laugh when I saw: A friend of a friend. Yah ok betting someone sold it to him for the $1,000 he was offering over Tinder.

    You know we all make mistakes, but this guy makes some kind of mistake just about everywhere he goes to watch baseball. His obsession with getting balls is ridiculous and many times it goes over the top. This is just the latest blunder for him.
  21. MrTPlush
    Yah I am sure it was checked over 10 times and pre approved by the commissioners office before finalized.
  22. MrTPlush
    Why exactly do we need to have a trade involving Werth. Just give the Nationals enough money so they can just release him. Problem solved. That or they could do as you mentioned second and trade him to a different team that he would want to play for. No need to overthink this. We don't HAVE to take a player back. Just give them the money equivalent and that hurdle is crossed.
  23. MrTPlush
    For a vote? No chance to actually win.
  24. MrTPlush
    I'd love to see Keon Broxton get playing time...but striking out 50% of the time and hitting .125 is not going to get you that opportunity. So back to AAA he goes.
  25. MrTPlush
    Selling high here is probably comparable to seeing a penny on the ground and picking it up. Might as well keep going and hope to find some paper money.
