Choo Santana Calhoun Gallo Elvis Minor Lynn is a solid core that needs help but with some off season FA's anything can happen.

I always like 3 really good SP and decent 4 and 5 to get you in the playoffs. We need a good 3B and CF.
We need to hope some of the guys in the minors can contribute in relief. I like Gallo in RF.

 

[fordman84]

He doesn't spend much of their money so they are very satisfied. Maybe they will take their gains and sell the team, and an owner will step in who wants to build a championship team no matter what it takes or how long it takes to do it right.

This is where I've settled. Fuck these owners, almost as bad as Hicks was. They want to play the W bush game...payroll low and build new stadium then cash out. Can't get rid of these cheap SOB's quick enough.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Haha. Maybe the good decision of the owners to sell to new ownership.

It was just 9 years ago the former owners filed Chapter 11 to sell the team.

Can't forget this offense puts up runs. Additional pitching could change the looks next season. Keep your hopes up.

Cole, bumgarden Both outta JD’ s price range. I wish him the best this off season but he’s given me little to have faith in.

I sure would love to see him go after Cole. But my bet he’s a Yankee next year.

 

[Duane1952]

Pick up a guy like Cole in the offseason. Maybe we can catch lightning in a bottle. Flipping Minor for junk no matter what is not my opinion of what was needed.

Teams learn to win. You should have known we were not in a total rebuild when we signed Lynn but you did not like that move either. If in total rebuild then move Gallo

Yea, because the Rangers have a such a good record of getting free agent pitchers to sign with them.

A good catcher would help also.

If course some wishful thinking but surely ownership will finally open up wallet to give us honest chance.

With Arlington ponying up there should be some pressure. Obviously we are not a favorite

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Good read by Odor

Nice to hear someone post something positive instead of all the pissing and moaning going on. We make a trade then they piss and moan it was a bad one. Decide not to trade someone just for the sake of trading they piss and moan we should have traded then for a bag of balls. Odor who leads the team in average with RISP and RBIs does something well and they still find something to piss and moan about the guy.

Hope you are right. Time will tell.

Pretty sad the post game show only has the Astros deadline deals to speak of.

A lot of unmet expectations for some. I would have liked to move Minor for what DBacks got. Sure not ready to mail in the next 2-3 years. We really don’t know what offers were made by Yanks or Braves.
Brewers got good again pretty quick

Not sure they understand their fanbase

 

[saddles]

Every team has a little luck to win. Injuries. Good matchups. Even a postponed game helped STL in 2011. Astros experience playing us helped them. I think more on incremental moves. Try to develop a winning culture with the resources allowed to pursue

A little luck is one thing. A little or a lot of luck should never be depended on though.

No matter how you spin it having Minor, Lynn and Pence does nothing for the ultimate goal. No shrewdness.

If we add to them why not?

Minor not doing well addressing questions. Still coming off a bit pissy.

Prolly a little embarrassed

Yeah very uncomfortable about questioning but to me the big thing is if he can start pitching better the rest I could care less about. But yeah allowing things to be a distraction is not good
