uhg can please stop with the Yelich and Realmuto to Braves garbage?
Amen!!!!
Plus that article was misleading. Made it sound like they were going to ok it together a couple actual packages. instead they just listed everyone in the Braves top 10 plus their top catching prospect.
Yeah terrible article to boot.
I don’t even want to entertain the thought of Moustakas in Cardinal red. That would be an abysmal move.
Don’t need Moustakas. He not a big upgrade to Jedd so why spend the money? Hosmer at less is an upgrade and I see they don’t see him as a fit. The best move for the Cardinals right now is sign or trade for a high level starter. The closing market is dry now. I say get a starter and give them opinions with in for the backside. You can move. Wacha or Waino to the pin with there health questions could be better for one of them. this year. Reyes needs to get the MLB feel back since he missed a year and hasn’t had much time up yet so before he starts make him long relief or the six starter if you will. , Hell Waino did close for the Cardinals in 2006 WM. Wacha pitching style may be a good fit. Do what you can to trade for Archer is what I do. I’m so we have enough prospects to make a good package. By the time he deal is up you have time to have you next top prospect. Him them Jack and a couple others.
RoxPile article is funny. Pretty sure every team every year hopes there top prospects burst on to the scene like Bellinger. Ridiculous article
McMahon is a legit ROTY candidate, but Rox Pile definitely oversold it.
I like mediums idea of the jays signing lucroy. Unlikely to happen but the way they put it makes a lot of sense
Why so many Jays blogs? Is that just a coincidence (I’ve noticed it before)?.
Also, as a writer with a blog myself, the ones chosen for all this free publicity should at least be well written pieces that have been edited properly. At the very least. I mean, it’s a great opportunity to have your blog promoted by a site like this that has so many readers.
