I heard so many fans jump in Andy's crap when he traded Bedard. People were going nuts. Nothing is guaranteed. You just have to trust that your GM is going to make smart moves. Most of the time th eO's have made very smart trades.
At the time people were screaming how could they trade the face of the franchise. To get something you have to give up something. the hope is you give up less than you get. IF Davis does not sign here it will be looked at as stupid for not trading him. I don't think Boras lets him stay.
You do realize the more no change is in the middle of the oceans, arctic and antarctic. Basically the places with no population to measure daily temps. But please try again.
I am not looking to play for this season. I don't see the O's having enough to make a legit run. That being said you need to maximize your assets for future allocation.
How about raiding another teams farm system and get say 4 guys who in time help the team. I am only saying to run things like the Rays who have had more consistency than anyone else over the last several yrs.
The difference is Tebow had the worst mechanics ever. He was also surrounded with so much talent. Manziel has carried that team on his back several times and also has worked on the issues with his game.
