Seriously - you fellas had Clayton Kershaw at his peak and managed to lose a short series to Mike Matheny....twice. That's impressive. |

yeah, how in the **** did that happen? Adams, who can’t hit lefty’s worth a shit, hits one on the biggest stage against one of the best pitchers of his generation at the top of his game. That’s not suppose to happen. Jinx?

I'm not defending Baker, I even said he was shit at managing a pitching staff and burned them out in the regular season. I simply said you could do a lot worse than a guy with 3000+ games as a manager with a 55% win% or whatever he's sitting at. |

Only one highly rated prospect (Diaz) and 2 guys bringing it up the rear on their top 30 (Kramer, Bannon). |

Eh I dunno, seems like no teams are willing to trade high level prospects anymore.
Pretty sure in todays baseball that Wil Myers trade the Royals made wouldn't happen. |

He's a half year rental at this point. Why did anyone think he'd bring a big haul back?

Considering that JD Martinez brought 3 prospects and not a single one even close to Diaz's level they did get a haul. Not quite the haul the Yankees got for Chapman, but Theo was reeruned for making that offer in the first place. |
