Feel bad for DBacks fans. Going from Kevin Towers to Stewart/LaRussa.

What’s there to feel bad about? At least they are trying. If they sat on their hells and did nothing, people would complain also. They’re going down swinging.

Tsolid there is plenty to feel bad about since LaRussa/Stewart have no clue what they are doing. How do you call that trying? Trying to do what? Make lousy trades? Bad signings? Trade former first round pitchers for money? If they are trying please express the plan?
Sorry they are clueless and I too feel bad for Diamondback fans

D’lusionals.

LaRussa is a perfect example of why you should stay retired once you retire. He and Stewart have no idea what they’re doing. If “at least they are trying” is the explanation, then please, stop trying….

I’m sure you are the BEST Armchair/Hindsight GM on the blog. Both of them together have forgotten

And that’s another reason the Diamondbacks perpetually suck.

No, but really, if you’re a fan of that franchise you should not be okay with what those two clowns are doing to it. They operate on their own idea of “value” and completely ignore the market around them. That’s how trading a superstar-level package for Shelby Miller happens.

Please Name ONE superstar from the trade. I’ll wait. We’ve seen Blair get his hat handed to him

Inciarte .236 I know what Swanson “Could” be, but he’s not THAT, yet.

I believe what he said was “superstar level package” which means you should’ve gotten a superstar for that package not that they were all superstars and, quite honestly, that package should’ve gotten you a superstar…instead you got Shelby Miller. So yeah, that was a horrible deal even at the time of the trade.

Blair Bombed, Inciarte struggling, Swanson still in AA. Doesnt look SOOO bad, yet
One Fan
Oh tsolid you are so dumb. Sure Swanson is not a star … Yet … Where is the vision? The plan. Its ok to trade a potential star since oh well he is not one yet? My Lord. How funny. How us Shelby working out for you idiots

It was awful, and you’re deluding yourself saying otherwise. You could have got something similar to Miller for a whole lot less, used those high level trade chips to get somebody better, or kept hold of them and seen how they panned out. Any of those options would be better than what the D’backs did, which followed on from selling Touki Toussaint for small change. Clueless leadership and I feel sorry for D’backs supporters.

Again, PLEASE tell me how many Superstars do the Braves have?? I’m not deluding anything. Ask a lot teams about all of those “Can’t Miss” prospects that Never Pan out. Keep Fallin in love prospects and see how that turns out

Again, you’re missing the point, dude.
The point being made here is that the Diamondbacks traded off resources that should’ve resulted in an A-level player, but instead devalued them and brought in a B- or C-level piece.
Their way of valuing players is clearly different than the rest of the league, and it’s pretty clear that it’s not working all that well. Even if Miller was performing at last year’s level it would be an overpay.

Again Tsolid … Is clueless in Arizona
