GM Doug Melvin: "Greinke Will Be Traded"

[dp33]

In the 11 other starts it wasn't 4 days to the trade deadline where a contender has to decide if they want to mortgage their future to get less than half a year with a player their own manager stated was more routine orientated than most.

BTW are you OK...taking your meds?

Again, a pitcher leading the major leagues in two statistical categories. Myself, I'd be more concerned about how he pitched in the playoffs last year than 14 innings pitched in July if I was a GM making that decision.

Good strategy - I'm sure personal attacks will get people to come around to your way of thinking. Which seems like crazy talk to me, so I guess I do need some sort of meds.

I love how people resort to name calling and insulting other people when discussing baseball statistics.

Some of you guys are the pettiest and most self-righteous people and need to reevaluate your own lives if you get so angry over various hypotheticals of a game.

He said from up high on his throne of moral high ground.

Let's see:

Petty
Self-Righteous
Need to Reevaluate your own lives
(Assumption that people are) Angry

Look! Name calling judgments that could insult other people!

Number one, I wasnt even talking about you.

Two, yes, I called the people insulting others here petty and self righteous. Why? Because they are.

You didn't quote whoever you were meant to be talking to, so I took it to mean you meant everybody. Including me. If you mean certain people, by all means, mention those people rather than do a vague facebooky "oh how horrible is the world except for me" post.

And it doesn't change the fact that you made personal attacks against whoever you thought was acting wrongly by making personal attacks.

Gasp, this is the Internet, facts are overrated.

My bad as I simply posted my opinion of Geinke's recent outings and am immediately attacked as you yourself were.

It's amazing how a fanboy can skew stats to his POV. You're welcome to use fangraphs, I'll stick with B-R.

Doesn't look like much either. Need to dig deeper, but no starters or MLB guys I think.

About right for him, probably. A bunch of maybes.
