Pay the man.

Today’s comments give me a little hope.

Perfection.

On a scale of 1-10, how “In Play” do you really think Imai is for O’s?

My son (12) and I went this summer. He’s a casual baseball fan but was drawn into the whole experience. It’s an incredibly well done experience.

I don’t hate it. Ward/Cowser/Beavers feels good. (TON will hit a little and then be hurt.) Grayson has been vaporware so getting a middle of the order bat for him feels…like a win? And pitching move has to be incoming, right?

Love this. Fresh faces and some continuity? Good start.

Any word/speculation/guess on Buck’s status?

The “maybe” refers to that rotation and whether or not it would be enough to get them over the top.

No no. You said replace Bieber with Cease. I’m saying replace Eflin with Cease. I have no faith in Eflin. Bradish/Cease/Rogers/Beiber/Dean. I don’t think that is super realistic, but I also think that’s the absolute best they can hope for short of trading some combination of Beavers/Mayo/Holliday.

Replace Eflin with Cease. Then maybe.

Totally agree. None of their WR are even a threat downfield. Shakir should be used as a Cole Beasley type. They need somebody to at least scare a defense.

Sounds like he’s done. I feel like that might change the trade target landscape a bit.

I think getting rid of Buck would be a mistake. The rest though…

Remember when Kjerstad raked in the AFL?
