Oh my God.






To be honest...knowing they are shipping out CC and probably some young talent for some Wedge players ,ie.. "people who can help us now" ( WedgieSpeak).

What it means is they couldn't help us in their best years which are 3 limb replacements past.



These guys have gutted the farm system and it's going to take years to fix this mess.

And it's mainly been just through complete messes of drafts that it's been gutted...horrid scouting etc as they haven't really been trading top prospects at the deadline or anything.

And look at who they have given long term big contracts too...two physical messes, Hafner and Westbrook. They're hurtin big time.

All things considered I do agree Hafner's signing was bizarre; a mistake they can't afford. I'd have to side with them on Westbrooks,though. You're certainly on the button with the rest.


The future is bleak.

Go ahead and laugh.




Do you realize what you could get for Lee alone....signed for several years well under the going rate?

Other than making the dreadful mistake of immediately dealing here's Jhonny, Mortimer would be a good Indians GM.

even though Sabathia is pitching brilliantly now, you could have gotten SO much more for him dealing him in March as Morty suggested.

But I must say I do consider the shedding of farm players Kousmanof,Phillips and Guthrie vile atrocities.
