I get that Puig is badass and all, but are you all serious when you say you want him up in place of Kemp or Ethier? Lets get real guys.
Kemp- obviously NZ and the boys are exaggerating. Ethier- Maybe not at this point, but Ethier will be the one that leaves if Puig is declared an everyday major leaguer. If Puig is ready to go and the current team sucks 5 weeks from now Puig will be in RF and the Dodgers will be taking offers on Andre, because if not now he'll be gone in the winter.
I would only trade Dre if we get something awesome in return. Seriously, if it was the Rays who asked for him and 85 mil for any player, I would be calling day and night for Longoria. Trading Dre and paying his salary for some 40-year-old reliever Ned Gem is more likely though.
The trade would have to be for a 3B or SS, right? I mean, our outfield is full, AGon has 1B locked down, Robinson Cano has 2B locked down, HanRam has either SS or 3B locked down, and AJ is better than our options next to HanRam. Crawford/Cano/Kemp/Gonzo/Chase Headley /HanRam/Puig/AJ/Pitcher. I can dig it.
You shut your mouth. Don't ever let GG hear such absurd statements. Sorry Guggs, continue with your rainmaking.
It is, AGon and Crawford have been fucking great. It's our pre big spending that has been shit, Kemp and Dre.
as individuals, yes they're doing well as a team, the chemistry (or whatever) clearly isn't working no way a team this talented should be floundering this badly
Minor league SS, 3B, below average 2B, and Kemp playing worse baseball than 99.99999% of people in baseball, and HanRam on the DL. It's not to hard to believe we suck right now.
this is the main problem if he's producing, then we're probably at least 10-5 instead of 7-8 as kemp goes so go the dodgers...
Sorry Irish, but there is no way you can say that chemistry is the cause of our shitty play. I actually think this team has great chemistry. The two issues have been Matt Kemp and SS/3B depending on who is playing.
@kengurnick: Hanley Ramirez is taking early live batting practice at Camden Yards and is hitting with power. http://t.co/kjfLQa8seR Yippee!
