This thing on?
I ordered my eggs sunny side up.
You heathen poached is the only way to eat yolks
Could use some scrambled right now.
When asked which prospect would make an impact in 2018, you come up with a Giants “prospect”? Garbage! Verdugo is going to make you look like a fool.
they asked about a prospect not ranked in the top 100.
Sal Romano is a very strong candidate for the Red’s rotation. Homer Bailey likely is in also.
Almora (home town kid), Caritini, Almozay and Lange is a pretty solid offer for Yelich. And solve the Cubs Leadoff problem
Might be a good package but how many teams can beat that…most teams could…and for Yelich those teams would…cubs don’t have a chance
Cubs have a chance but it’s certainly not going to be that package that gets him. If any cubs fans think that they are getting yelich without giving up Russell, happ or Baez they’re completely delusional. Add one of those to the above package and you can start a conversation. You’re not giving up a bunch of B level prospects for yelich. Not going to happen.
Jason couldn’t be more wrong about the cardinals getting another bat imo…I don’t think he realizes how much the cardinals think of Jose Martinez…it might be a huge gamble for them but the way Martinez hit last year in the second half was unreal…mark my words he will be the starting first baseman and carpenter at third while Gryko because the super utility guy he was supposed to be…cardinals are done with the offense until at least mid season when maybe Donaldson becomes available
martinez will be on the junk pile and st louis will be wishing grichuk was still there when martinez, pham and fowluper falter. add carpenter to the list of losers.
Lol ok
Where do you swamp people come from? I am by no means a Cardinal fan, but to think Pham was a fluke is just ridiculous and Martinez seems legit too. Fowler and Carp are not the players they once were, but they’ll still be above average at least.. and Carp has even more value because they can stick him anywhere in the infield as well as the batting order (except probably 3rd or 4th I’d guess).
swamp? wrong party
Yeah st louis is only swampy when the missisipi or the missouri flood like once every two years! It’s not east alton!
Lol
I think MO said something about giving the kid Luke Voit a shot at winning the 1B spot too. Plus Carpenter played all last year with a bum shoulder. Did you forget about the Ozuna trade? They also upgraded the bullpen
and also Reyes is coming back. Plus still have a top ten minor league system . Also still 3 weeks yet to sign some great free agents . Don’t ever count them out! EVER!
Another great chat Jason… helpful, intelligent, professional. I can’t say I agree with all of your opinions, but you’re helpfulness and attention to detail makes you worlds better than most of your colleagues.
Well, one in particular, who sucks hard -Ateve Sdams-
other writers answer way more questions. and faster
And better
That is one downside to Wednesday chats: it takes like 5 minutes to answer a question so there is much less content.
All the players in MLB history who have a career hitting line of over .310/.410/.510. (some of the most famous names in the game’s history) are in the Hall of Fame……except two.
Shoeless Joe Jackson, who is banned, is one.
Who is the other?
Pete Rose!
wasn’t rose. average was only .303/.375/.410
edgar martinez
Correct
