IMO it’s too early to get any bat of significance and that’s what they need. A player like the Santana types are the guys you right now isn’t it? Seems wasteful to me to give up one of the prospects arms right now.
This is a broken record every year with Dipoto offseason. The phrase, "Failure to prepare is preparing to fail". A team desperate for a bat each and every offseason should never be in this position where they have to give up vital assets for something they can just buy before the season. This is the biggest irk I have with Dipoto/ownership. It is just bad baseball.
I don't see it happening.
No solution with this roster. We have about 4-5 nightly starters who actually belong in a MLB line up.
Yeah that was my question. Chuck and Buck think this right now is a WC contending team and I just don't see it. They aren't even that close IMO. Too many bad plays in the field, too many boneheaded decisions on the bases, a staff that won't pull a struggling starter until the game is already out of hand, and there is no clear cut leader on this team that can pull them through team slumps.
That’s the key, we should be a top 5 budget team but we’re always around 15th or so… M’s just won’t change there blueprint when it comes to spending, and they generate plenty of revenue with the unique situation they’re in … It’s not by accident we’re the only team in the MLB now to never sniff a World Series.., I think Dipoto overall has done a good job, but if the ownership won’t let him spend we’re gonna keep bringing in average players… M’s had a legit shot to get over the hump this year and they went cheap…
