I'm sticking around to watch Trevino and Taveras. Not much else worth my time.

I'll join you. Actually Guzman is on my list. Such talent that needs to learn how to hit.

I also hope see Anderson Tejada. Just want to see more to get an overall feel for his skills. Actually I will be more interested than I have the entire season if they play all young position players.

Choo will be gone. Wonder if Elvis might consider retiring since the team will not go any where for a long time. IKF looks like he may be getting primed at SS.

But can they do that. Seems like I remember he could not be sent down. If that is true, what can be done other than trading him. Enlighten me please.

They can't send him down but they can outright release him. They would hope some other team would pick him up on waivers but that team is unlikely to pick up the majority of his contract. They are still gonna have to pay him almost all of the stupid contract he was given. Maybe they could repo the ponies though

Thanks Murph. I knew they could release him but would never guessed these owners would do it because of that"stupid contract". Good seeing you back.

The team they put on the field to open next season could actually be worse

Actually if we had some offensive power the team looks pretty good. I'm talking about our young guys. We still need position help especially 1B/3B. Choo leaving gives more time for a young guy to succeed. Hopefully Oder sits or DFA'd if possible. After all this there is much to be done.

That just broke the owners and that will set us back 2 years or longer. We would have been much better off with a full season this year and an off season with no excuses not to spend.
