It's simple we don't have anyone in the minors lighting it up right now. HOPEFULLY, Montas is on his way VERY soon. As for Utley our position player MVP in a landslide.
Can you just imagine this guy at 25-30? He's 37 or 38 now and still kicking ass. Philly fans must hate us... ...even more than they hate the next random passing car that is
Hatcher comes in...and gives up a HR Blanton comes in...and gives up a HR Baez comes in...and gives up a HR BP gives up 3 runs. After the starting pitcher gives up 3 in the first inning... How the fuck can you win with a team like that ? Impossible. Can't be done.
Let it go dude It's pretty much universally agreed on that they made the right call nixing the Chapman deal. The only people who think otherwise are failing to recognize the growing anti-DV culture in sports. Chapman is an awesome pitcher, but he fucked it over for us, not the FO. They can kiss my ass though for keeping Baez around this long.
I edited my post before you had a chance to see it. They tried for Miller, tried for O'Day, offered the most money to Pat Nishek, and tried for Shawn Kelly. All wanted the East Coast or lower income tax. They definitely don't get a pass for keeping Baez around this long though. At least Hatcher had a run of dominance. What has Baez ever had?
All with the same story as O'Day? Meh... Like the Lakers dont have LA to dangle either? Pro players want to win and can generally smell BS. The nerd computer clusterfuck we see is from out here. Imagine it, but with way more insight from the inside?
And how do you suppose trade talks go with these fucking hacks? Normally for typical GMs one calls the other and its "Ok, my guy for your two guys?" but with these idiots you get a Skype from an outsourced Philippino virtual team representative asking you to get your slide rule out before the proposal proceedings can commence via video conference and a dial in code sent to the other 4 clubs.... .....and we end up with the same shit BP falling further from contention.
Say what you want about racial profiling but evidently it appears that DV is a big issue with the Cubans.
