How much for the crystal ball? The whole idea is to get better now so that you can beat the best teams in the playoffs. You seem to want to get worse now so that they can fold against the Yankees 5 years from now? How many times are they going to have a batting champ contender, an MVP caliber CF, a top 3 SS, and a group of their top prospects hitting MLB at the same time? And you want to give up? Pretty defeatist attitude, imo. Edited June 20, 2022 by JDBrocks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Really bad loss last night. They need another high leverage arm or two in the bullpen. Pagan has given up more HR/9 than any mlb pitcher in history with over 250 games pitched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 The NBA’s draft trading policy is easily one of, if not the absolute dumbest things in professional sports. Talk about totally ruining a dream come true moment for these kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they still doing the "we can't make trades official during the draft, so we have kids wearing team hats of a team they'll never play for"? Yes, that is and always has been dumb.

Yes, that is and always has been dumb. I did see that they are doing that, and heard some of the interviews that Kessler did with the Memphis media...how awful is it that they put kids in that position to answer questions about a team and players that they'll never play with or for. They need to change that process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work for a huge corporation (50K+ employees worldwide) and they always put emphasis on their employees...even in letting me go, they showed their concern (in the form of a significant severance and even a bonus later on) that not many would do. If the opportunity came around, I would work for them again. It's possible, if they put an emphasis on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBrocks Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 DFA Pagan and Duffy. Do something, front office. We're about to waste a season because the bullpen sucks. Pagan alone has turned what should be a 10 game lead into a 2 game lead in the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now have four picks in the first two rounds, I believe. Faber could end up being a very nice pickup too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not tripping about it too much Faber seems solid and is a RHD and those are extremely valuable from what ive heard seems like hes only lacking is an offensive game and even then its not TERRIBLE from what Ive heard Sounds like hes going to eat minutes and is a fantastic skater is pretty big too 6 foot weighing 190 lbs at age 19 This sets up with our timeline more than keeping Fiala and gutting a lot of the squad in order to keep him Right now it seems like our D& Goalie prospect pool are set we just need Wingers and Centers Alot of these guys should just be getting NHL gametime or have been for a year or so when we come out of the deadcap era with this draft it leaves us a very good chance and snagging some decent enough Forwards and adding them to the pipeline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I think a lot of people that are upset with the Fiala trade are looking at it in the now if that makes any sense and arent looking at the bigger picture in how we look when we come out of the deadcap era winning a cup with 12 and 14 million in deadcap is dang near impossible lets be honest with ourselves Only thing is we gotta hopr can re sign here when his contract is up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
