since it became hard to watch them on a regular bases I'm more likely just to check the box score the next day. It'll be interesting to see if they do anything at the trade deadline. I don't think they will...MAYBE a small move or two. They're so close to the 3rd level penalty in the salary cap, that they likely can't do much.
One thing is for sure, they seem to be a snake-bit organization this year. Damn!! In addition, Olsen, Riley and several others haven't figured out if they remember how to hit. It's a bit of a shame too...injuries notwithstanding (recent especially), they had/have a chance to have the best 3 starters for a series they've had in a LOOOOONG time.
I'm glad I'm not AA for this season...I'd have a really hard time deciding if I'm a buyer or trying to rebuild my farm system. The farm system is probably the worst it's been in stocked talent for a while. Yet, the big league club still has some nice pieces you could build around. The problem (as I see it) is, that many of your studs (Riley, Albies, Olsen, Harris, others) are having such bad years, that their trade value is WAY down...(not saying you would trade them...but if you're gonna blow it up?).
I'd at least SHOP Acuna Jr. I know, I know, call me crazy...but, he should command some serious talent in return. I'm not saying you do it, but, at least see what you could get in return. Before Bubba or someone says this is the stupidest thing they've heard (hard if you listen to the news these days), I'll agree it's an "out there" thought.
