The farm system wasn't 'good' enough to justify trading Hosmer and/or Moose considering the pieces that were being offered by the buyers last year. I think duncan's right: the only way to max out the value would have been the completely blow up the roster in the Winter of 2016. |

While we're *****ing, I'm a bit chapped that Ned benched Jorge "he needs 500 AB's this year" Soler for Paulo 32 years old Orlando.

Teams weren’t paying a premium for rentals. Look at the return of JD Martinez. Wasn’t a haul. The days of fleecing someone for a rental a few and far between (like the Cubs trading Torres for Chapman). That’s just not happening. We’ll see this year if that changes and what the returns are like.

I was happy. I thought Soler would tee off on Giolito since he had no location whatsoever. But Orlando did sting the ball a couple times. Just had to tip your cap to the defense. But I agree, Soler should’ve been playing.
