Corey would have been sniffed out as a guy who wasn't going to make contact or take a walk in the majors before he had a chance to get our hopes built up too high.

Ahem!

I wasn't around these parts during the Corey days, but knowing you, I'd guess the problem wasn't that people thought you were wrong about Corey, so much that you probably appeared to be reveling in sadistic glee over his failures rather than hoping like everyone else he'd actually become a good player for the ballclub you feign to root for. Kinda like you're doing with Baez.

How eerie, it's like you were there.

And now you get to hope that Baez fails as a final indictment of a long since fired GM rather than hope he makes some basic adjustments and becomes one of the most valuable middle infielders in the league. Everything's coming up Chuck.

Yeah. That was basically spot-on. But the Baez situation pales in comparison. The "Korey" stuff was peak Chuck. Probably even more so than Soriano.

Korey is better than Soriano? Or you hate him less? And you hate Baez WAAAAAAAAAAY more than either one? What the fuck am I asking you questions for?

In this age of limited offense it is not necessary to trade shortstops who hit well and sport club-friendly contracts for starting pitchers with a million miles on their arms. I HAVE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH THIS SHIT

The only scenario in which trading Castro is acceptable is if Javy comes up from AAA and is a holy terror, and Russell is also who they think he is. The guy with 40 homer potential>Starlin in that scenario. Barring that I seriously do not want to hear Castro trade speculation until the unlikely scenario that both of those guys and Bryant pan out AND Bryant also sticks at 3B and Schwarber needs to play LF because he can't stick at catcher. I don't think all of those things are going to happen, so leave Starlin be.

Especially when you can just throw money at those starting pitchers in November.

Javy Baez will take a leave of absence from the Iowa Cubs because of the death of his sister, Noely Baez. The two were reportedly very close. Rotoworld says she passed away suddenly at 21.
