I have followed him closely. I think he comes back by the end of May and is an impact player. I know most will disagree.
I do too, but I'm looking to win now and didn't want to take the chance.

You could have gotten Utley for dirt cheap in the offseason. I was trying to give him away and keep Swisher instead.

he says himself he has no clue when he'll be ready. Everything anyone ever says about him when they see him in person is negative. Horrible trade.

You and Lou just like to get a lot and give up a little. You guys often forget there are 2 teams trading. You like to come across as the "winner" of the deal you are doing.



Guess I called that.


Rick, you had two good 2B already. Your starting pitching sucks. LOL

He offered it.

I was surprised when he mentioned getting picks since I think his team could compete.

Beckett, Bumgarner, Cueto, Gio, & Leubke is a solid staff and I didn't think his lineup was terrible (especially if Harper makes it up).

Rick's team is decent, which is why I don't get it.

Picking up a 33 year old 2B who's always injured isn't "playing for the future" LOL

bumgarner is only one of the top 5-7 young pitchers in baseball. At least he got an old 2B who will never play a full season ever again in his career

My point was I'm not offering Ronnie Mex deals, which is all I've been hearing.

Pretty sure I drafted him last season. Mid-round I think.

eta: round 10 last year.

What're you playing for? The trade even with picks is terrible on your end. I have 3 2bs that are better options than utley at this point of his career. Did you even shop around? Man I need to just start throwing some wingnut shite out there to see what will stick.
