I have read everything on this board that the ex has written.

She comes off as a tenth of the batshit crazy as some of the posters here.

She's no Tawny Kitaen.

Trade Adell and whoever else they want for Clevinger.

WE NEED PITCHING, people!

Who let DiPoto in here?  

[yvangelfan]

We will not be involved in the postseason without kick ass pitching.

Adell is a great guy and I wish him the best, but we will need better starters.

Just do it.

We need starters that can help now and in the future.  While if it was a one for one trade for Clevinger I would be on the fence, I don’t think that would be the case.  They would want more and at that point if you are giving up more than just Adell you almost need a sure thing.  Clevinger while he is good, isn’t a sure thing.

Yup but is only 1 pitcher Clevinger going to make a difference to get them to the World Series? And to give up Adell? I don’t think so, maybe If we had signed one of the big free agent pitchers then I would have said yes but since we didn’t I say no.

I think if Clevinger is as good as he was last year then he could at least get us to the playoffs.  World Series?  I have no idea since the playoffs are really about who is hot at the time.

It's obviously happy hour somewhere

The best hope for a deep postseason run is Ohtani and Clevinger are both dialed in at postseason time.  If that is the case, yes, Clevinger could very well be the difference maker needed.

I get the argument that who is hot at the time wins.  But a “hot” Clevinger beats a “hot” lesser pitcher.

So I still want the best pitchers.

If we don't trade now for a great pitcher, when will we?

reminds me of anna benson. her husband chris pitched with the orioles and pirates among others, and she swore that if he ever cheated on her, she'd sleep with all of his teammates. she was beautiful but turned out to be a real lunatic.

dude marries a stripper and his life gets wrecked.

Some other time between now and the trade deadline?

Ok, so would you pay $10 for something now that you could get for $7 in July?  

[Lou]

Trading Adell for Clevinger would be asinine

No, ending the season again behind Texas or Seattle would be asinine. But hey, we might have a great outfielder.

Good point we might trade a great outfielder for a really good pitcher, that could be one pitch away from being an average pitcher.

What if it's $15 in July?

This isn't the time to pinch pennies. Fear not, and get it done.

Or the great outfielder could be another Brandon Wood. 

I would go for the great pitcher, which we haven't had for a long time.

Well it won’t be because right now every team thinks they are in it.  At the deadline not every team will think they are in it.  There will be a bigger supply than there is right now.  

[yvangelfan]

We already have an awesome offense now.

I remember when we used to beat Texas in our division. They had a great offense, but no pitching.

Ahh, Brandon Wood.  I hadn’t even thought about that.  I digress.  We have had a great pitcher since we had our last Brandon Wood.

I wouldn't want to be in a bidding war in July with the Doggers or Skanks for Clevinger to make the postseason.

Why do people always use Wood as an example? 

Remember, Trout was once a prospect, too. 

 

[tdawg87]

Trout is gonna be Brandon Wood in 2020.
