Breaking we just got Donovan!

[Double Mocha Man]

Except we gave up the dime and four nickels (the prospects) and got the quarter (Donovan)

It's a typical fantasy baseball trade offer. Give up a bunch of crap players for one good player. Never works. People are suckers to fall for that.

GO HAWKS!

Kramer confirms it will play out exactly how I thought it would.

Thanks to Donovan we don't have to throw both Young and Emerson out there with our fingers crossed, just whichever one has the better spring training.

Right now we've got seven totally sure things in our everyday lineup. Our only worries are if JP reverts to 2024 form and if we play one of the youngsters and he's not up to it. Gotta like that.

RF needs some bounce back to 2024 levels too but yeah not to shabby!

If Raley and Robles could come back healthy and put up some numbers like they did before, it would be huge. Their injuries last year probably hurt more than the pitching ones did.

I like our RF better than our LF at this point.

Pretty great outfield overall, with Canzone as a 5th OF.. wow.

Wish they could've added the talent to push JP back to batting 9th, but it's as solid of a lineup as we've had in years.

Good chance JP is batting ninth especial if Cole is in AAA.

Gone are the days when there was nary an opposing general manager that didn’t relish ripping off Jerry.

Chalk it up to the fact that after a series of lousy draft picks over the years, Jerry’s player development/evaluation team finally got it right.

Now they’re able to secure solid position players, from a position of strength, a rarity until the last few years.

This trade was a steal.

I bet you are a big Donovan fan Marty. .287 BA and only a 13% K rate. Plays great D all over the field. A gamer.

Yep, my kind of player.

I think they are necessary for a healthy lineup. Stick one in front of a couple of big boppers.

JP should be one of those two but for some reason he thinks he is a HR hitter.

I mean, his OBP isn't that much lower than Donovan's. But his OPS is about 70 pts lower. From everything I'm hearing about Donovan is that we will love him. Like I said, I am a firm believer that hitting is contagious. Polanco was good at extending innings. I still hope we can bring Jorge back.
