    Yeah I read about this this morning. Here's why I'd say no..............

    #1 He's still do over $130M over the next 7 years. And $100M over the next 5 years.
    #2 He's missed over 280 in the last 5 years
    #3 He hasn't played over 130 games in a season since 2011

    Bottom line, as good as he is, he can't stay off the DL.

    ...Oh, I like Tulo. And I wasn't suggesting that the Yanx deal for him and I understand the risks. I was only pointing to Cashman's likelihood of trading away valuable chips if they were to acquire Tulo.

    ...I still think the Korean SS that the Pirates picked up would have been a much better option than Gregorius.

    Won't happen and I'd be willing to wager a few doughnuts on it.

    ...sigh.

    ...I said "if they were to acquire him". If he's traded, whatever team gets him will have to cough up some valuable trade chips because Colorado is not just going to give him away.

    The Mets have had interest for several years now.

    Yes, the Rockies will want a ton of talented Top Prospects for him......

    this morn it was talk of the Mets trying to obtain Tulo......and yep, Cashman would have to trade the entire farm, to obtain Tulo......

    Something I'd hate to see happen. Especially with his history for being injured.

    Despite the injury background I'd like to see Tulo in Pinstripes but yeah Cashman would deal all the prospects and have the Rockies paying none of his salary.

    This hypothetical trade isn't going to happen but if something weird does happen and the Yanks trade for him, I would lean opposite of your "proposal".

    Cashman/Yanks would trade one (non TOP) good prospect and probably one or two "B" prospects and assume a good portion of his salary - which is why it isn't going to happen.

    Wait so the SS plan was wrong and we should still have Greene?

    "Look, all I want to know is what's that guys name playing 1st base?"

    " What is on 2nd"

    "I'm not asking you who's on 2nd"

    "Who's on 1st"

    "I don't know"

    "He's on 3rd".

    ...not sure why anyone would think Cashman would be in any way frugal with trade chips.

    And what the hell does THAT have to do with the price of a dozen eggs?

    Are you okay? Weird.

    You're not referring to Shane (4.71 ERA) Greene are you?
    Who by the way...is only one good CC game away from eating CC's sh!t.


    Send in more clowns......we need some help.

    Who said he'd replace capn crunch? We wouldn't have didi, drew would be no worse at short and we'd have 1 of the 2 kids at second.

    ...the funny thing is, that simple concept has already been explained multiple times by multiple people.
