    Once again Sean Miller has done it again!!!

    And here I was excited for Aaron Gordon when I saw the title. Really nice to already have some recruits for 2014.

    Justin Upton and C Johnson traded to Atlanta for Prado, Delgado, prospects

    Upton has 3 years remaining on his deal. What is your definition of soon? Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Justin Upton and C Johnson traded to Atlanta for Prado, Delgado, prospects

    I do believe that the previous poster said last 50 years and this list includes Walter Johnson, Pete Reiser, and Mel Ott. Your math might be a little off...

    Justin Upton and C Johnson traded to Atlanta for Prado, Delgado, prospects

    Yeah but we all know that to be great you need to be the in the top 5 players in the past 50 years. :rolleyes:

    Justin Upton and C Johnson traded to Atlanta for Prado, Delgado, prospects

    If Upton's 2011 season was just good not great I would like for you to find a list of 24 year olds who have performed as well as Upton did when he was that age. It might take you a while to find some... I will wait. Keith Law had a great quote on this trade: There is no way to defend...

    Justin Upton and C Johnson traded to Atlanta for Prado, Delgado, prospects

    While not the most eloquently stated, I hate to say he has something there. Upton was constantly harassed for being 'lazy' while he played because he never reached his enormous potential. However, Stephen Drew was adored by fans here and yet he also never reached the enormous potential that...

    Justin Upton and C Johnson traded to Atlanta for Prado, Delgado, prospects

    Sorry but I am calling ********. If we are realistic about the finances of the Diamondbacks let's take a long look at them. In 2012 the diamondbacks were 23rd in the MLB in total salary which totaled to a little over $74 million. If we were dumping Justin (and you are correct Upton would cost...

    Justin Upton and C Johnson traded to Atlanta for Prado, Delgado, prospects

    But but but... Cody's career year equaled Justin's worst year... :bang:

    Justin Upton and C Johnson traded to Atlanta for Prado, Delgado, prospects

    Kevin Towers... is that you? They haven't cut your cable line yet? I can almost guarantee that we will not resign Prado. He has said previously that he wants $15 million per year and I cannot see the Diamondbacks making that sort of investment.

    Justin Upton and C Johnson traded to Atlanta for Prado, Delgado, prospects

    Last year Randall Delgado RHP was Atlanta's #3 prospect behind Julio Teheran and Arodys Vizcaino both RHP. Delgado, 6-3 200 LBs, throws 92-94 mph but struggled with command. He will turn 23 on February 9th and is projected as a number 3 starter in the MLB. He apparently has some minor...

    Justin Upton and C Johnson traded to Atlanta for Prado, Delgado, prospects

    This was the trade that Kevin Towers was blown away with? Pathetic. Just really, really sad. Not only did we get fleeced with the Didi trade, but now this. Tough offseason to watch. Best of luck to Justin in the future. It is really sad that a 25 year old is more mature than Derrick Hall...

    Dear Manti Te'o, Thanks for being a buddy and taking some of the spotlight off of my big TV appearance tomorrow. Your Favorite Fan, Lance Armstrong

    What are you reading now?

    Thank you. It is just a description of how I feel like when the Cardinals have the ball. Never thought of it that way so I guess my name works on a couple levels.

    What are you reading now?

    If anyone likes the works of George RR Martin I would suggest you try The Acacia Trilogy by David Anthony Durham (Acacia, The Other Lands, and The Sacred Band). The author creates a fabulous epic with a deep world history, profound societal issues, and rich character development. I just picked...

    Trevor Bauer Traded For Didi Gregorius

    Apparently the organization also did not appreciate Bauers tweets during the first presidential debate if I remember correctly. Kevin Towers is not setting a good precedent for getting good value in return for prospects. He has turned Parker and Bauer into Cahill and Didi. That is not a...
