    Can't believe this trade. I'm calling BS at this point.

    Actually, he hasn't been good offensively recently (this month). .607 OPS

    So who the **** is playing centerfield? I don't like this trade. You trade a cheap player under club control and you don't have his replacement on the roster.

    Y’all are hilarious. Kinda bums me out that y’all don’t have more faith. And won’t have the Click Stones to come back and eat crow when it all works out.

    Even if we are getting Buxton it is still a really really stupid trade.

    I don't like this trade as his replacement is, at most, a lateral move. Who is our starter in CF now?

    Edit: Meyers... I don't recall what position he plays. I didn't think it was CF though.

    His defense improved a lot. Thus he was getting the Ausmus/Everett "any offense is a bonus" type treatment.

    So the move is to bring in a rookie for the stretch run and playoffs

    Aww. I'll miss Straw. He was getting better as the season went along.

    Man, they're putting a hell of a lot of pressure on Chaz and Meyer's to perform.

    It really is crazy. Other teams are adding proven vets for their stretch run.
    What in the actual f**k?
