    Will we see Brandon Drury soon?

    Chris Owings has had a hard time getting it going at the plate this season and Drury was recently moved up to AAA Reno. Drury was a STUD in thee spring as was likely a tough decision to not give a spot on the big league roster. He's been raking in AAA, batting .388. How long before we see him...

    DBacks Trade Touki Toussaint & Bronson Arroyo to the Braves

    With Beef Wellington playing as well as he is I don't see any reason they'd be spending money on a catcher

    Nick Ahmed is not a Major League hitter

    I can see him at .260, but I see more than 8 - 10 HR's. I'd put him in the 12 - 15 range

    A look back at the Upton trade after 2 years...

    It does ignore he value added over the past two seasons from Upton, Johnson and Prado, where Upton was clearly the more valuable piece. However keep in mind we lost 98 games last season. Had we not made the trade and had Upton on hat team, we may have "only" lost 93. What's the point of that...

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    Realizing that terrible players are terrible is more than our previous FO could do. The impressive thing is that TLR hasn't only realized it, he's done something about it quickly and effectively while still managing to put a MUCH more competitive team on the field while keeping the team very...

    A look back at the Upton trade after 2 years...

    If you could have the choice today, would you rather have Upton and Johnson or Peter O'Brien Brandon Drury Randall Delgado Nick Ahmed Enrique Burgos Note Upton and Johnson are being paid a combined 21 Mil this season. O'Brien, Drury, Delgado, Ahmed and Burgos combine for under 3 mil.

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    Players released/traded since TLR arrived... C. Ross Miggy T. Cahill G. Parra B. Arroyo M. Trumbo I'd assume that's around 50 Mil in 2015 salaries right there. Granted we paid half of Arroyo's since he was here half the season and Ross' because he sucks so bad we had to pay him to go...

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    I'll be the first to say that Cahill and Ross were overpaid bums, along with Arroyo, which is exactly why this FO did exactly what they should have done first and shed that dead weight. Don't pass blame from the old FO to this one. This FO has done exactly what they should Also let's not...

    A look back at the Upton trade after 2 years...

    So, here's a look back at the Upton trade two years later. It doesn't look as terrible now by any means. We ended up with Peter O'Brien, Nick Ahmed, Brandon Drury, Enrique Burgos and Randall Delgado. To the Braves Justin Upton Very nice player, but by no means the star he was supposed to...

    Nick Ahmed since his season low .130 BA...

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    We're on pace for 18 more wins than last season while paying half as much for our roster. I'll give TLR and Dave Stewart the benefit of the doubt for now.

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    Haren is an interesting name for a rent-a-pitcher, I wasn't aware he's having the season he's having. What a great story that would be if we did make a run with him. I couldn't see the White Sox trading Sale for less than a kings ranson, he's 26 with a career ERA of 2.76 over nearly 800 IP and...

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    That's what I'm afraid of. If you ask me this team is a year away, I don't want to see any MORE prospects given up to win in a season where with 90 games left to play we're yet to get over .500. I guess the Hamels thing makes some sense at least because he's not a rent-a-player, he'll be here...

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    Unfortunately, I do think Hamels is our target. I'd prefer not to make any trade for an ace at the deadline because of the cost in prospects. I'd much rather go all in after David Price or Johnny Cueto in free agency. It will cost more dollars, but leave our farm system intact. Price will...

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    I would be much more against trading O'Brien for a rent-a-player than I am against trading Touki for cash. At least with trading Touki for cash we're trading a player that's 3 - 4 years away from the Majors IF he even ever makes it there. There's also the saving grace in the Touki trade of the...

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    This. Plus, haven't we learned our lesson on trading for A's pitchers yet? Look at what Kazmir did before he got to Oakland.

    DBacks Trade Touki Toussaint & Bronson Arroyo to the Braves

    Lol, are you serious? He turned 19 years old last week and has a 5.75 ERA in A ball. He has good (not great) stuff, no better than Rubby De La Rosa, who is a #5 at best. In the 2019 season, he'll be 22 years old on opening day. IF (IIIIIF) he makes it to the bigs, and for the record about...

    Reed sent down to the minors.

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    To call a 19 year old that isn't in the top 100 MLB prospects in the minors and is more likely to never reach the majors than he is to ever start a single game in the majors a "potential ace" is a stretch to say the least. I'm all for building through the draft, but Touki as at LEAST 4 years...

    This team is an ace away from being a contender

    This team is not far from being a real contender, one offseason away really. That offseason needs to include taking our league low payroll and our new BILLION dollar TV deal and turning those two things into an ace, a real ace, an ace named David Price. We have one of the best offenses in the...

    It'll be interesting to see if they call up O'brien
