Standing pat should be what we do unless we get overwhelmed by an offer either way to sell or buy but if we keep this pace I can’t see us being true to current roster by giving away SP

Under the current conditions, @saddles could probably win a "break dance" contest at the world fair. (buy/sell) Ha ha

Lol. I might ask what you guys think about a possible trade and I even think we will be buyers. At the same time I still favor the original plan, the rebuilding plan. There is no way in the world they are going to be sellers now though. It would take a 4-16 run at thos point and that isn't going to happen.

If they did trade Choo, Pence and Minor, I would applaud them for it. It just isn't going to happen.

Lynn changed the direction we're heading. He has been a sensation that we did not see coming. With he and Minor we have almost half the rotation needed to go forward this year or not. DIFFICULT DECISIONS . A win win either way as I see it.

 

[DT LUNA]

No Odor. He appeared to have a injury last night but I heard he is ok.

 

[saddles]

If nothing else, this season's success should out pressure on the front office to be big spenders this coming offseason.

Those two along with Gallo's success Pence, Santana, Calhoun and Jurado have all been a big part in this season being a lot different than we thought.

Don't forget Sampson and Chavez

 

[Nightcrawler]

1) Lynn and minor

2) the re- emergence of pence

3) the break out of Santana

4) Sampson and Jurado hold down the fort

5) the coming out party of Calhoun

Ranked in order of importance.

 

[saddles]

I guess we would be remiss not to mention Elvis being fully healthy again and the success he has had because of that. He just never was the same last uear.

I'd put the starting pitchers 1 [Minor/ Lynn] and 2 [Jurado/Sampson] in importance

Agree.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Standing pat makes all the sense. A few more days and we should know which side of the fence to fall.

Yes and standing pat allows us Minor and Lynn to be mentors for the developing young talent. Seeing some fruits from Sampson and Jurado. Let’s hope they both continue to improve with each start.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Always liked that guy.

Lineup has been one of the best in mlb. Can’t win if you can’t score.

This lineup was always going to put up some runs, stopping others teams from scoring more has been the bigger issue

Lineup has been marginally better than expected, the starting pitching has been drastically better than expected

Sampson with a rough 2nd
