too bad the giants dont have an experienced front office like this. the next two months will seperate the contenders from the pretenders. 5 days and counting.

agree, cubs r bout 2 run away wit it.

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

now that i further analized this.. the A's won in this trade, the cards are basically over 10M for a rent a player..

we win and the key here is "short term". we will develop one of these guys into a quality major leaguer and trade him when his value is peaking for some quality minor league prospects, or beane ball. if only we had real revenue.

when you are missing a piece or two from really making a run, management needs to step up and make that happen. the cardinals want to win now. holiday was 4-5 behind pujols his first night. it is really a win-win for both.

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

then when theyre at their peak, beane will trade them..
