Profar better be the 2B when Andrus is healthy

Really impressive though how Profar works that pitcher. That Baseball IQ.

We could see that in him at such a young age. Real shame the injury (s), lack of proper utilization, etc has derailed him. But it is not too late for him to have a terrific career; with or without the Texas Rangers.

Hey Eph......keep that one in mind, even if it hasn't happened. ha ha ha

If that be the case, then what do you do with Odor when healthy, and it's a given to send IkF down? Or is Nunez/Rua the odd man out?

 

[donaldson79]

What a horrid decision from Fister. We'll see how it plays out, but honestly, that was a rookie mistake there.

Yeah that one came back to bite

 

[Kelleyman]

Funny

Odor needs work, that much is clear to all of us, send him to AAA

That's going leave a mark.

Profars batting average is climbing and the kid seems to be getting used to major league pitching.

I wouldn’t be surprised if profar’s average got up to .280 and who knows .300

Profar should be playing in front of Odor. Looks like the organization has struggled with the decision making lately.

At the start of the season, Colon was the odd man out and we almost lost him. Now he’s our ace.

Profar was banished to triple A and now he might end up with the best batting average on the team ( besides Elvis)

Odor has been hitting around .200 or less for a year. I don’t think club house chemistry should go that far. He must have a beer with Banny after every game or something.

Well, if I include FA signings then that probably pushes DDJ out of the top 5.

Without question, the Elvis trade and the Cliff Lee trade are in the top 5.

Hamilton trade too.

The ryan dempster trade might go down as his worst.

We got a pitcher who was worthless

The cubs got Kyle Hendricks and Christian Villanueva.

Hendricks has a career ERA of 2.95 and Villanueva has blown up this year. He’s hitting .321 with 8 homers and 19 rbi.

I hated the McCarthy trade and Adrian Gonzalez trade also. The Darvish trade isn’t looking good right now.


It’s been awhile since we’ve seen this front office make a great move that we’re all impressed with. We need to see that happen this July and hopefully several times over. I wish we could duplicate what the Yankees did at the deadline a few years ago. We have some enticing pieces.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Alright so I've boned this all up. I forgot that DDJ was a rule 5 draft player and not acquired via trade.

So let me knock the top 5 trades off... Elvis, Lee, Hamilton, Cruz, Napoli.

FA Signings... Beltre, Darvish, and 3 TBDs.

 

[Kelleyman]

Bunch of dink hits

 

[jta4437]

Kela is dogshit tonight

Why do our closers always suck when its not a save/high leverage situation?

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Bullpen looking to piss another game away.

Can't believe he served that up 0 and 2
