I am not the gm and don't have access to all the data and information they have. As a fan I am glad they signed Donaldson. As a fan, I am just concerned that if they keep kicking the can down the road and never upgrade the starting pitching this team won't reach it's fullest potential.

Last trade deadline we needed starting pitching and didn't get any. The front office said not to worry we have the off season to upgrade our starting pitching staff. Now we are at the point of just waiting until the trade deadline again? Just seems like kicking the can down the road.

Does the ranking of Sano change now that he has agreed to a longer term deal?

yes

As a fan I appreciate a player going all out and playing hard but in this situation it just isn't very smart. I understand that is who he is, but someone needs to sit him down and explain to him that constantly playing with reckless abandon and putting his health and well being in jeopardy is not good for him, his family or his team. Certainly injuries will happen, players get hit by pitches and foul balls off their legs etc. but choosing to run FULL speed into a wall to MAYBE make an out is just not a good decision. Hopefully as he matures he will learn to make better ones for his sake, his families sake and his teams sake.

The twins should make a trade for Stroman and Giles asap. Then try to flip Stroman and prospects for Syndergaard and Diaz.

Just saw that Jason Wheeler is now listed on the Rock Cats roster. Wheeler certainly deserves the promotion but I was hoping to see Jose Berrios move up first. I realize that Wheeler is much older than Berrios but JO has been so dominant. Hopefully Berrios will continue his mastery of high A ball and will get promoted soon.
