MLB to suspend Braun & others....

You want some facts? How about these awesome numbers. 76 wRC+, .674 OPS, .285 OBP, .389 SLG, 0.6 fWAR.

Yeah he's not hurting this team.

-.4 oWAR

Unlike Young, Murphy's defense is actually helping is oWAR

Can we stop the Murphy argument? It's a waste of time and the right answer is obvious to most. You're entitled to your opinion in a forum, yea? Good stuff, moving on.

You can stop the Murphy argument, I find it worth debating, if you feel like your time is being wasted then please move on like you said

lol

 

[romeo212000]

and i'm happy that Murphy is not a long term part of the franchise but use the prospects to get a starting pitcher now and replace Murphy in the off-season

Why can't we do both if it doesn't mortgage our future and improves our chances for the playoffs.

 

[Wkbrdr2234]

Same goes for you pal, I take far more from the "tone" of your post than you putting a little "lol" in there

I take disagreement and criticism just fine as long as its rational and makes sense, scotsman tends to do neither

Thats unfortunate if thats your observation, I had anything but a negative response to that reply. I just disagreed with you man, nothing more nothing less.

He's just telling you you're welcome to excuse yourself from the discussion. We have a right to continue it without you if you don't want to participate.

 

[jta4437]

wow, you're a baby.

But I lol'd!

But seriously if you don't want to discuss something, then don't, obviously some people do

That's how forums work, no one is making you partake in the discussion, at least I know I don't have a gun to your head

I think its because I threw the lol in at the end to be snarky

Baseball was better with PED's. Now a days if you have a good season people accuse you of juicing. You'll never get rid of them and players will always find loop holes.

It's like college football. If they were paid we wouldn't have all the secret cheating going on.

I don't exactly think baseball should allow PED's, but this stuff is just getting annoying.

It's a witch hunt for A-Roid and Braun more than anything.

No it's because you sir, are being emotional, in your worlds "snarky", while also claiming you can read emotion telepathically. I was discussing, and you want to overanalyze my comment by saying "lol" is emotional. All I'm saying is the Murphy answer seems obvious.

I would just rather get a pitcher and wait to the off-season because I think that course would still improve our chances without stripping our farm system. to get a major upgrade on Murphy and that's what we have to do to make it worthwhile and to also bring a good arm would tax our system. not worth it.

make the move on an arm now and then rebuild the outfield in the off-season.

I'm not talking about stripping our farm system. Are you learning disabled? We wouldn't strip our farm to acquire a pitcher and a guy like rios. We need to improve Murphy's position. Period.

I never said "lol" was emotional, I just tend to ignore its use b/c its overused

I'm not being emotional at all, but sarcasm doesn't have to be an emotional response

Did I say I could read emotion "telepathically" if I did I apologize b/c I can by no means do so

All I do is base emotional response by the tone of the message, if I'm wrong so be it, but I'm right more often than not though

I'm not understanding your thought process. Rios or Garza would not deplete the farm system. I agree an arm is the most important, but we have an overabundance of assets that could be utilized to make us better in both areas.

I assume you mean would not. And that's what he doesn't understand. Acquiring two players doesn't necessarily mean stripping the farm.

so what would it cost to get Rios? and then which pitcher do we go after and what do we give up to get him? i'm interested in your thought process on this

Whatever you say man, I wasn't irritated, just disagreed with you, and I was obviously being sarcastic with the telepathic comment. I'm over it, moving on.

If you'll go read the trades thread you'll see the discussion. I don't feel like rehashing it.
