I feel awful for him and the team. It’s not like this is a guy who makes millions and has already secured his financial future.

The Rays season is starting to unravel pretty quickly here; 5th place is looking more likely than 1st place. The lack of urgency in which they treated spring training and the slow start combined with some bad breaks to the pitching staff (plus Helickson and Moore’s inability to get anybody out lately) means they have no cushion here. Need to win, and win now.

That said, if Myers can play, the line-up looks better than it has in years.

teams can’t give the impression that they are anxious to rush a head injury

they might as well have said they aren’t sure if he’ll ever play again

he will make a start before the ASG

Run of the mill firstbaseman? He has numbers better than Prince Fielder and Mark Texeira (when he is healthy) and those guys make $20 mil +. $6 million for that kind of production is very team friendly.

Scott Kazmir was a legitimate ace at one point. Johan Santana was a legitimate ace at one point. One thing Price isn’t is CC Sabathia so stop treating him like he is. We would be lucky if the D’backs even returned our calls for Goldschmidt, who is doing much better than Longoria at this point.

Who would be your choice to trade Price for? Profar? Hitting .270 and isn’t showing much power. You could tack Gregorious onto the Price trade if you think Goldschmidt alone isn’t enough, but that is doubtful.

You sound moronic calling Goldschmidt run of the mill. How many firstbasemen in the league are hitting .300 + and on pace for 40 HR’s 140 RBI’s and 15-20 SB’s? Not many. Especially for $6 million a year.

If our lineup were: Jennings, Zobrist, Longoria, Goldscmidt, Myers, and so on, it would be ridiculous. Also, stop comparing Loney to Goldschmidt. Especially since his average has dropped about 60 points over the last 20 or so games.

While the current rotation scares me, I’m sure the rest of the division isn’t shaking in their boots.

Last year at this time we would have thrown Shields, Price, Moore, Cobb and Helly at them.
I really thought we’d split yesterday. Archer needs to harness that fastball. Ordorizzi pitched pretty well. The kids have to pick up the pace.
More importantly, the offense needs to wake up. 38 runs, I think. in the past 10 games against ho-hum pitchers ain’t gonna cut.
41-37 last year at this point.

An ace for a 1st baseman who’s numbers are comparable to the 1st baseman they’ve already got?

Ugh.

Career numbers:
Loney: .283 .340 .423 .763 (8 year sample)

Goldschmidt: .285 .362 .508 .870 (2.5 year year sample)

Loney is making 2MM and Goldschmidt is slated to make 32.05 MM from 2014-2018 (that’s roughly 6 MM/year… that’s not “team-friendly” in comparison.

THEY WILL NOT TRADE A LEGITIMATE ACE AND FORMER CY YOUNG WINNER FOR A RUN-OF-THE-MILL FIRST BASEMAN… GIVE IT UP!
