So discuss that...calling people names doesn't get you anywhere. And drinking wine is awesome.

I've discussed it plenty.

I love how quick he is to assert that Tommy Pham "doesn't speak for the organization"

Such strength!

How about drafting someone that can hit - then you're team makes the playoffs and fewer people get upset.

Let me know next time you're in Nevada...I'll pay for the escort service to help you relieve some of this angst.

We know there wasn't much interest in him at the deadline.

If he tops out at 3 years, $36 million, taking the qo becomes a possibility.
If you think Lynn's contract won't exceed $12MM AAV you're insane.
If you don't think he'll have a $50MM contract offer this off-season you're absurd.
I mean seriously what world are you living? Do you think Donald Trump could be...[expletive]
In all seriousness, I want some of what your smoking.

Rich Hill got 3/48 last year. Ian Kennedy got 5/70 last year. John Lackey got 2/32 in 2015.

I mean, I'll bet a ban on this board his AAV will exceed $12MM. He's a bargain at $18MM next year.
Ummm, yeah.

I completely agree. There's a decent chance that Lynn cracks $100M.


I think we're reading way too much into that quote. He's most likely just not tipping his hand or giving out information on anything this early. Not sure why other than this is what GM's do.
Consider what Langosch herself says later in the article - "During Tuesday's end-of-season press conference, Mozeliak skirted around speaking in absolutes on most topics..."

Offseason doesn't even get going for another month. There's no reason at all not to offer Lynn a QO and I'm sure they will do so. If not, then yes, we can harp and question and scratch our heads and it will all be well-deserved.
Decent?

Is that so?
