I’ll take him over cookie
I’ll take him over cookie
I assume this isn't serious.That's how I saw it. Probably not too many others do. I listed 5 examples of him doing that. There are others. How else do you explain the wretched Myles Straw playing in 135 games last season?
Dead serious. I saw it for 10 years.I assume this isn't serious.
You don't trade a player like Kwan unless there is a suitable replacement and the return fills a need and puts you over the top.Stupid pointless question, but I will still throw it out there.
If we had Lofton in center, do we trade Kwan or do we just make the high OBP work for us at the top of the order. And if so, where would you bat Lofton and where do you bat Kwan?
I don't care either way, but I have to ask why? Many were quick to get on the bandwagon that condemmed Bauer and rightfully so, but now that the truth has come to light why are those same people not quick to realize what happened to him and backpedal a bit?I assume this isn't serious.
I'm not sure Vogt is looking for that kind of relationship.I doubt Trevor is the same stupid kid he was when he was here in Cleveland so I don't think the idea of bringing him back should be totally shitcanned. Also, I can see him having a much better realationship with Vogt than he had with Tito.
What kind is that? Many thought that our beloved Cookie was an asshole too. I'd be concerned with who Trevor Bauer is today and not what he was 5 yrs ago. I'm not sure how they would go about deciphering that information though. I'd guess face to face conversations need to happen and an understanding had. Talking with teammates could be useful too. Honestly, I think his ability and knowledge could be very useful.I'm not sure Vogt is looking for that kind of relationship.
100%I don't care either way, but I have to ask why? Many were quick to get on the bandwagon that condemmed Bauer and rightfully so, but now that the truth has come to light why are those same people not quick to realize what happened to him and backpedal a bit?

er from years ago,
It's an interesting dynamic and we sure could use him in the rotation. I wish that wasn't the case and the idea is certainly tarnished to say the least, but I think this team is ready and adding Bauer would/could be game changing.
His post wasn’t about Bauer. It was a reply to Statman saying Tito played guys because they had higher salaries.I don't care either way, but I have to ask why?

I don't find it unreasonable to question Trevor's character based on his antics while in Cleveland, but again, that was 5 yrs ago.100%
The fast start by the Guard's I hope can change the FO perspective.
Vogt playing a rotation of players in rotation, instead of playing favorites has made an impact.
We have a good lead, but it won't last long with such thin SP.
Bieber is gone. Williams isn't coming anytime soon. McKenzie is a shell of himself. There's really nobody ready in Columbus.
There's no need to have a grudge on a player from years ago. The only argument I can think of against Bauer is the possible negative effect he could have on the young pitchers.
I certainly don't think the fans would have a problem.
He would sign a minimum contract with incentives. Sign Bauer today.
The other choices are:
1. Watch this start slip away in one month.
2. Trade valuable assets for people like Blackburn or Luzardo.
Take him in a second. Why say you?Don't want anything to do with Bauer.
I think that was meant to be a joke.What kind is that? Many thought that our beloved Cookie was an asshole too. I'd be concerned with who Trevor Bauer is today and not what he was 5 yrs ago.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for someone like Mookie Betts and I'll take his opinion of Trevor over an ill informed poster on a random board. That includes all of us including me so don't take/make it personal.
