From the responses I saw from players and reporters he sounded like a good guy. Only 40. That’s too bad.

Dude went to the zoo with a random fan who started a blog about going on the zoo with Halladay.

Inciarte with his 2nd consecutive gold glove. Hows shelby miller doin arizona? Lol

Acuna, austin riley and alex jackson all tied for the arizona fall league in homers with 5 a piece. Max fried was leading the league in k's last i looked. Good times are ahead

 

[Orlando]

Still see no problem with that trade. Zona made the playoffs in a tough division too.

 

[Wolfman21]

So you see no problem with giving up what was, at the time, a top 10 prospect, as well as what has become an all-star, 2x gold glove center fielder...for a 1 pitch starter who had one good half of a season?

Dave stewart, is that you? I mean...i know youre prolly a bit upset that you lost your job, mainly for this trade...but its prolly time to give it up buddy

 

[Orlando]

Nope. Miller had more than one good half season, but I like when teams go for it. It didn’t pay off, but they are just fine. I’m not saying it didn’t work out for the Braves or something though.

 

[Wolfman21]

Those first round exits sure are nice, ill tell ya. And as a Braves fan, I can tell ya....they're not

 

[Orlando]

Technically they made it past the first round.

Inciarte is nice. Decent hitter with a glove. The other two are still TBD. Blair is old and can’t get out of AAA. Swanson is all hype so far.

 

[Wolfman21]

Come on Dave. You gave up a all star, 2 time gold glover in his mid 20's and jeff blauser for a guy that threw like 60 innings for you. Take the L baby!

 

[Orlando]

Not debating W vs L, but yes the Braves got the better trash in that trash deal.

They also sent the regret for not drafting Bregman, I’m sure

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Dansby Swanson gonna be working at Waffle House by this time next year. Not sure why anyone thinks this trade was a win for either side.

 

[R2D2]

RIP Roy Halladay?

When I first read this, shit hit me like a train. One of my favorite pitchers to ever become a Phillie. Sad man.

 

[Wolfman21]

So now a 2x gold glove CF that hits over .300 in his mid 20s is trash?

Cot damn, orlando really is dave stewart

 

[Wolfman21]

Because dansby was the only piece in return...fuck sake tony, go back to doin what youre good at and snort some columbian bam bam off of brook lyns ass

Go to sleep

 

[pavel]

Everybody in here paying respects and wolftrog is arguing about who got the better of some dumb trade? Figures

 

[Wolfman21]

Thats right baby

Go to sleep

Come on Dave. You can do better

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Zona GM should have paid 28 mil for an IFA and then quit like a babby instead

 

[jdlikewhoa]

It’s not hard to tell when things are going to shit in Wolfmad’s real life

 

[CJ_24]

The show must go on.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Braves prospects dominating the AZFL. Yayayayaya

Lol Braves were run by Wooly. GM BANT and all those sweet prospects are available to the league.

Only the ifas from 2016 class, which really, is kevin maitan and a bunch of lotto tickets. Not a huge deal

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Barves just big on unwritten rules apparently

 

[Wolfman21]

Barves just big on unwritten rules apparently

Yeah. Almost got away with it too.

 

[Yankee151]

Ohtani only looking on the west coast. Mariners or Padres pls

[Wolfman21]

Gonna be a Dodger

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Nah

 

[pavel]

I will actually go to more than just opening day if he comes here.

Seattle has a much better Japanese community though.

We have Kearny Mesa

 

[Orlando]

Pass

 

[pavel]

Nah b.

All said, I bet he goes to SF or LA tho

 

[Wolfman21]

Come on Palmeiro

"Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids -- period. I don't know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never."

"Maybe 12 years later, if I can come back and prove I don't need anything as an older player with an older body, then people might think, OK, maybe he didn't do anything intentionally," Palmeiro said.

Lol, so first it was you didnt take anything at all, never, ever ever ever. Now its "ok maybe he didnt do anything intentionally"? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

 

[bruin]

I’d be surprised if Ohtani comes to LA.

 

[Yankee151]

I hope he goes to Anaheim and we get a Freeway Series in the paloffs

 

[Wolfman21]

I hope he goes to Anaheim and we get a Freeway Series in the paloffs

looking like you got your wish. Ohtani expected to sign with the Angels

 

[Karl Hungus]

Giancarlo Stanton won't waive his NTC to go to St. Louis. Who can blame him?

 

[Yankee151]

I thought the Angels were a no brainer for him once I heard the criteria (along with SD, but Dads aren't AL and are years away). "Smaller" market, First Japanese player, Japanese connection in the LA metro. Trout and Ohtani together will be fun to watch

 

[Wolfman21]

do you expect him to pitch or hit? Or will he attempt both? If he plays the field, what position is he slated for?

 

[Yankee151]

I think he's better as a pitcher (and the Angels definitely need him there more), but I think the plan most AL teams were looking at was to just have him DH 2 or 3 games a week when he's not pitching. I believe he plays the corner OF spots but Angels are good to go there with Trout, Calhoun, and Upton.

 

[Wolfman21]

sounds like American League is definitely the way to go for him. DH 50 games a season while pitching.

 

[Hike]

I thought read that he hasn’t played OF since 2015. Just pitching and DH last couple seasons. He’s still so young I’m curious to see how this plays out.

 

[Orlando]

Aren’t the Angels years away?

 

[Yankee151]

In the sense they have no farm yeah, but they have some actual talent in the field at least. Calhoun, Trout, Upton, Simmons, Cron are all pretty good. They are probably only going to be wild cards at best because of Houston but they aren't a rebuilding team. Ohtani seems to be a quieter guy so Trout being in Anaheim helps take some of the hype off of him, whereas in SD or Seattle he'd be the main guy

 

[Orlando]

Uh Cano?

 

[Yankee151]

Meh. He's great and all (so is Cruz), but national media doesn't care about him anymore. At least they sometimes care about Trout.

He would've been forever in Ichiro's shadow there too, so I think it was just SD or Anaheim for him

 

[ZackMills]

Very nervous about what the Yankees will give up to get Stanton. Hopefully Jeter gives us a discount.

 

[doh]

So he refused to go to Giants to eventually get to New York?

Good luck with that during your first 0-for-23.

 

[ZackMills]

Shocking he turned down the opportunity to go to a team coming off 64 wins.

 

[Orlando]

And that ballpark.

 

[Yankee151]

If its really just Castro and one decent SP prospect then its a steal. Not believing it until I get real confirmation doe

Yep why go to the team that has won 3 ships this decade when he can go somewhere that hasn't been to a ship in 8 years.

The Os should void this
