Damn right. Nothing to see here. You’re useless.

I’d take Cano over Utley any day. Cano has done much more than Utley at 27. Cano has more potential on top of that.

“Yeah… no. It’s just not that simple.”

What did I say that you disagree with?

Yeah… no. It’s just not that simple.

I’m not saying the Phillies were wrong for acquiring Halladay (I don’t think they were, because they’re in a different situation than we are/were), but there are alternate strategies that are also sound ones.

“Do whatever you have to do to get Player X” is never really sound reasoning. There are certain price points that are unreasonable.

BTW, this whole conversation didn’t really happen and is just me goofing on SBGL and Conlin. Nothing to see here.

I don’t really think that rises to the level of unprofessionalism. Maybe in the classroom setting that would be looked down upon, but in the real world, you don’t have to be a robot. He didn’t do or say anything particularly inappropriate. Just my opinion I guess. I guy is clearly a bit of an imbecile, so I am not defending his personality or views.

If all this Conlin guy is saying do whatever you can to get Halladay, then he’s right.
No one has any way of knowing what Drabek and Taylor will amount to.

Halladay is as a sure thing as there is. Even more so than Lee. Before 07, Lee was in the minors.
Who knows if he can keep it up like Halladay has?

“You can take any all time Mets and put them together and they cant match up.”

First of all, of course I was joking.

Second of all, as much as I loved Donnie Baseball at first, the best glove I’ve ever seen at first was Keith Hernandez.

No one was better. Outside of that, that got nada.
