MLB - Trade Rumors and Speculation

[Huber.]

With Infante and Sanchez going to the Tigers the Indians better not trade away prospects now. That moved just locked up the division.

 

[Times]

Even if they do turn out to be buyers, who could they realistically get that would make me instill faith back into the team and make me want to watch them again? They aren't getting Garza, Quentin is off the table, Francouer is garbage even though he could be an upgrade in LF.

Fuck this industry.

Wow. That's huge.

No..he isn't.

And nobody is instilling faith back into the team...

And Ichiro pretty much blows now...temperamental douche with an OBP around .300

"Going for it" doesn't mean being overly active/aggressive in free agency, that's just not smart...

Cespedes.

I am pretty sure if someone traded for Mike Trout you would find some sort of flaw or problem. There are people who can play baseball in the league. They aren't all scrubs.

It's come to the point where people should stop hating the Dolans and should start hating that used car salesmen Chris Antonetti.

Ichiro since 2011:

.268 average
.302 on-base percentage
.342 slugging percentage
.644 OPS

It is what it is, not the guy he used to be.

Pretty much better than anyone on our team not named Choo, Cabrera, Brantley, or Kipnis.

I wasn't protecting Ichiro. I was saying you always find a problem in every player/trade.

And Johnny Damon, Shelley Duncan, Casey Kotchman, Jack Hannahan, Carlos Santana and Travis Hafner.

But I think that's it...

Oh, and Lou Marson.


Kosuke Fukudome had an OPS 100 points higher when the Indians trade for him, but he was a shitty nobody and indicative of the team's inability to bring in quality players though.


Perspective....please....

The failure was in Antonetti's offseason and not addressing needs. The deadline isnt worth gettin excited about at this point.
