  1. Given how this market has shaken out, I disagree that we overpaid for either. The lack of improvement at C and OF is concerning though. At this point, I think we have to hope that Brantley will be healthy and Lee takes the next step in his development.
  2. Bottom layer is chocolate cake. Then you have chocolate mousse and white chocolate mousse with chunks of brownie in it. Then another layer of chocolate cake. It's topped off with a layer of chocolate ganache. It slams and runs about $15. I'd put it up against most bakery made cakes that go for 3 or 4 times the price.
  3. Their Tuxedo Chocolate Mousse cake is amazing.
  4. This is the only deal I would be happy with. I wouldn't trade them Javier, Brown, or Abreu.
  5. If the plan was to avoid the FA market and trade a SP for bats, wouldn't the smart move have been to pay JV (you aren't using the money anyway) and then trade from your SP depth for a guy like Varsho? Not spending money and trading away a SP after losing JV seems like the least optimal move.
  6. Here's the "big deal" one of the Twitter guys was hyping up last week. It wasn't anything FO or roster related. It's a music video for a Paul Wall song about Bregman.
  7. I'd have to go back and re-read it, but I think the pitch was more projected WAR than Contreras and cheaper than Murphy.
  8. Move Morton above Correa and that's my list. Also, losing Cole did not hurt me at all. He is incapable of not looking like a cunt.
  9. One of the quotes said something along the lines of it's easy to take advantage of the Astros because Crane is really running the show. Yet, so far at least, the Astros have been prudent in the contracts they've signed. The Abreu and Montero deals look great based on what we've seen this market do. The Cubs, who I assume have GM, just gave Cody Bellinger $17.5 million for fuck sake, and the Yankees are going to pay Judge $40M for his age 39 season when he'll probably be pushing 325 pounds and barely able to get out of the batter's box. That said, this could all turn into a complete shit show if Crane surrounds himself with guys who share Bagwell's view on analytics, but that's not what we've seen thus far.
  10. Have to assume they’d want one of Garcia or Urquidy to headline the deal. I’m not so sure I’d be willing to trade starting pitching at this point. We’ll likely need each of our top six during the season.
  11. Is JV the best pitcher in franchise history? The counting stats will favor Oswalt, Dieker, and Nolan, but I think there's a strong argument that, even with the relatively short tenure, JV is the best.
  12. Nothing would make me happier than getting Varsho for a package that includes Maton. JV to the Mets per his brother:
  13. Didn't they do one about Bartman? I liked that one.
  14. This is the dude who makes hype videos. You have likely seen some in this thread. My guess is it has something to do with that and not that he has any inside info about a FO hire.
  15. The biggest problem with that, imo, is you likely won't know whether he's truly healthy and can meaningfully contribute until the spring.
