Yeah good times OK good thread it's run its course time to lock.

 

 

I'm kidding - got frustrations? Let em out. Have fun. Lol

 

 

Isan Diaz would follow Brinson's way sooner or later. 

Did I not post an opinion in that old thread? Damn.

that thread is full of some gems!

Wild that Isan was considered a top 100 prospect after hitting in the low .200s in High A. 

i think my favorite post on there was that we needed to get back a lot more than just Soto plus (i forget who the other player was) from the Nats for Yelich. 

I find it odd I didn't post at all on that thread - unless that was during the time i was banned lol

Don't get why anyone thinks that liking the deal at the time would be some kind of fail. They were some pretty well regarded prospects at the time and we were just responding to those rankings. If anyone failed, it was the evaluators that said that they were top 100 guys, not us. I think @taiwanmarlin is the only one living in the future, so no one else could have known how badly it would turn out.

Exactly. Many media members also said this was the best trade of the big three that we sent out, at the time. Wasn't just us fans here getting excited about that return.

Red Sox should have made Babe Ruth an outfielder. Just my opinion.
