But for fuck's sake, Eppler, do some more shit. The board is boring right now. I'm not talking about Dipoto-level shit, but give us something new to talk about.

I'm not a smart man but I can't believe this little gem went unnoticed.

Right now, we're relying on a bunch of pitchers being better than they were last year - Heaney, Canning, Bundy, Teheran - and one guy bouncing back from TJ surgery who will only pitch once a week. I don't see Eppler using a lot of the farm to trade for a legit ace, assuming one is available and the Angels can make a better offer than other teams. Getting Redon was great. However, we still need pitching and a catcher or two. Hopefully January brings us help on both fronts.

We got Rendon.

Welp.

Everything that happened last season can happen again next season.

Who was the last one before him? I think it was CJ Wilson and that was a different GM.

This means if we don't get Ryu - a distinct possibility given the way the offseason is going - we have Heaney as our opening day starter and a lot of "hopes" in our rotation. We have the latter regardless. Pitching was a priority and we've added Bundy and Teheran when much better options were available. It's frustrating.

I look forward to us trading for Price, and hearing about his career stats as he continually declines a la Pujols.

Wuh-HITE people.

Surprise.

Keuchel and Ryu are the last two women left at the bar at closing time. We have our beer goggles on but we know it.

Keuchel will almost certainly get $20m+ a year.

We're trading for Kyle Freeland!

Haven't the Padres been on the verge for about five years now? I constantly hear about how loaded they are with prospects but they haven't seemed to improve.

Especially the repeated "stupid" parts.

I think that ship may have saled already.

No. Hell no. He's had one good year and in his head he's an ace and should be treated like one.

My turds are famously huge!

Last night I heard them talking about how bad our bullpen is. We were ranked 16th by fangraphs and that was without Middleton.

This thread aged well.

Other teams know we're desperate. They can ask us to overpay and if we refuse, they'll get a good package from another team. It's a seller's market.

So we're not getting him then. I'm tired of hearing about who we're interested in. I'm interested in a threesome with Charlize Theron and Rosario Dawson but that doesn't mean it will happen. Just give us some results.
