    Trade deadline pod. We didn’t love it.

    Winker

    Best bat traded was Arozarena. I wanted him very badly. Winner would have been a fine consolation prize. We got worked there because we were too busy looking for a pitcher and took our eye off the ball imo.

    This is just a reminder that Garcia has already been sent on 1 rehab tour through shitty Texas and florida minor league compounds before we got here. But where we are now is not a setback. For reasons.

    My dad basically cornered Elko at a 12 game (b team) where Elko was watching his untalented kid play and proceeded to ask him a bunch of questions basically that amounted to why did aggy, jimbo and probably him suck so badly at football. Dad told me about said conversation and it was super cringey. But not as bad as dad is now. The end.

    12 has some teams that play out of college station too. My brother had all 3 kids play up there for them. Elko had a kid on my nephews team at the time. My dad, before he fucking got his Tramatic Brain Injury from falling down and scrambling his brain and became a pants shitting retard basically asked Elko why he/aggy sucked at one of those games. It was seriously uncool and Elko was pissed. He was telling me about it and it was so cringe. Not near as cringe as shitting your pants 5 times a week though. Also- this was the B team so even being an Elko when he was the defensive coordinator at aggy wasn't enough to get him on the A team- if that tells you how much junior Elko sucked. Since we are telling 12 stories and all- figured I'd post this here.

    That seems like the kind of return that’s logical for a guy like that.

    Minor leaguer so not Chas

    You should have? You said years. The proper accounting period for any trade if you want to measure what went away is the period of time the other club has control- ergo 6 or 7 years. OK- maybe Wagner takes a year to call up and it's 8 years. But the point is we can know this trade was terrible by October 1 or really good by November 1- we don't need to wait "years" That's the case with a rental. If it helps you get what you want it's wait and see for what you gave up. If it doesn't help you hit your goal its a failure and the only thing left to reasonably do is measure the size of the failure.

    If we don't make the playoffs it was an awful trade- regardless of what we gave up and what it turned out to be. We just won't know the final accounting on how awful it was. You said we won't know if it's a good or bad trade for 6 or 7 years. If we don't make the playoffs (or God forbid he gets hurt) then we know its a bad trade. Like, with 100 percent certainty.

    I mean- they aren't going to be HOFers obviously. But if we win the WS this year and he plays an integral role I won't care if Bloss becomes a #2, Loperfido is a plus regular and Wagner is the second coming of Dubon.
  12. Wulaw Horn
    That's not even remotely close to true. We can know that this trade is awful as early as October 1 if things go bad. We won't know just how awful and damaging for another 6 or 7 years I guess. We could know it's a good trade I guess by Nov 1. If he pitches us into the playoffs and a world series title the other 3 can go be hall of famers and I won't care.

    Plus two other guys who will have a major league career in all likelihood.

    For starters, Fredde, Elfin and Montas are all better than kikuchi, have actual control beyond this year, and received lesser packages than we sent out. This isn’t me saying this- this is the consensus of everyone saying this. MLB trade values rejected the trade as unfair to astros. Baseball America I already referenced. Keith law said big haul for a mediocre rental, Athletic had us getting fleeced. Insiders on various different board I frequent and some that I’ve talked to offline and know are legit and occasionally tell me things said the general consensus around MlB is the astros got raped. Is that good enough for you?
  15. Wulaw Horn
    For how about everyone that’s gone out has more value than we received- and everyone we sent out is more valuable than what was sent out by others. Baseball America had us sending out the 2nd and 7th best prospects traded as of right now. They didn’t have our incoming in the top 10. It wasn’t the price of doing business- it was criminally stupid.

    Watching other teams get pieces that could have helped us for reasonable returns is like flipping on Cinemax after dark to see your wife was starring in one of those movies. What actually transpired was like finding out your daughter was the lead star on a bang bros production.

    Rentals with low cost to patch a hole. good players with club control that fill a long term need for a while, cheaply. this year that would be Winker in type 1 and arrozarena in type 2. Dana forgot the fact that you don’t pay a lot for rentals to patch holes.

    So the giants are apparently delusional. Right right. Worked out well for SD as they held on to Snell and Hader at the deadline last year and finished 8 below 500 or some such nonsense.

    12/7/41. 09/11/01 7/29/24 days that will live in infamy.

    We can throw in Altuve because Will Wagner can play 2B.
  21. Wulaw Horn
    Holy shit!
  22. Wulaw Horn
    And the other one Graveman?
  23. Wulaw Horn
    Oh holy shit that would be the absolutely dumbest thing ever.
  24. Wulaw Horn
    We need to use the bullets to shoot ourselves in the dick. Oh wait- Dana just did that.
  25. Wulaw Horn
    If only. That would have been preferrable.
