Come down off that ledge, [MENTION=11924]AnthonyCorona[/MENTION]! Don't jump!



Celebrate, [MENTION=2016]hive17[/MENTION]. You got SF's #1 prospect AND a pretty good catcher for a LH reliever.

I know one member here whose rainbow of Bickford just lost its pot of gold.

Great pickups for Milwaukee.

And this most likely means Lucroy is history, now that they have Susac.

My boss called me because I told him this morning bickford has to be untouchable unless it's for a huge splash. I'm done. I hope the rockies win the west

Well, I'd say you took the news rather well, considering.....

Machiavellian

The Brewers GM is a frigging genius.

Will Smith isn't even all that great. For Phil Bickford you'd expect a higher tier closer. The Nationals traded far lass for Melancon who is a much better relief pitcher...even if it may only be for 2 months.

Beltran could spell Gallo for Lucroy. Brewer fans should be excited.

Pretty hard core devotion over a AA pitcher.

F* that. Go Giants, even if they cleaned out the farm for spare parts.

They traded their top prospect for a guy who has pitched 22 innings pitched this year. WTF? Moore makes a little more sense but this one blows my mind

Not to mention, the lefty they got, can't get lefties out

I was hoping this was going to be the package that the Twins got for Nunez. Wow ...

This is the same Will Smith who tore a ligament in his knee while trying to take off his shoe while standing up...

It's a good start for filling the "clumsy lefty" role vacated when Jeremy Affeldt retired.

Recall that Affeldt spent time on the DL for random injuries like...

- Twisting his knee while picking up his kids.
- banging his knee on a dock while jumping into a lake
- slicing his throwing hand open while using a knife to separate frozen burger patties
- suffering an oblique strain from sneezing.

What an awful trade for the Giants. Were they seriously that desperate? Bickford must have puked.

 

[AnthonyCorona]

How bad is the Giants system after yesterday? Arroyo and Shaw are about it right? Beede maybe?

He should be wrapped in bubble wrap lol

Also you got the same Will Smith who got suspended for wearing sun screen on his arm...at night
