Seriously though, they need to rebuild. They're not winning with this group that they have. The Dickey trade set the franchise back for years.
I love the Travis trade and the Donaldson trade. Russell Martin was a good free agent signing. We have some really good position players. Our issue is the pitching. We need a clear #1 starter and maybe another good vet/experienced starter. We also need to upgrade our bullpen.
ALex Anthopolous always seems to leave holes in his rosters. I also don't think it's a good idea to rely on so many young/unproven pitchers and players.
That being said, they sent Norris and Pompey back down to triple A. It will be interesting to see how the team performs over the next few weeks.
Edit: the season is NOT over!! It's ridiculous to write off a baseball team with this much talent this early (we just finished April). A Baseball season has 162 games so the season is stupid long. There may still be opportunities to upgrade this roster.

Bottomline - you don't trade BLUE CHIP prospects like Syndergaard and d'Arnaud for a 38 year old pitcher. That trade was beyond dumb.

Of course, yeah he was old.Last edited by Mindlessness; Sun May 10, 2015, 09:34 PM.

It was a risky trade, somehow both prospects who were flipped have ended up becoming or look like they will become good impact players. That doesn't happen often.

No talk of Jeff Hoffman eh? I believe he's set to debut on the 20th, and if this kid is the real deal, I'm pretty excited to see what he's got.
Hoffman’s first pitch registered 97 on the radar gun. Later, he hit 98 four times. Anthopoulos feared that Hoffman was trying too hard to impress the boss and his chief aides.
But the coaches and training staff in Dunedin who had been watching Hoffman were unworried.
“Everybody assured us he was throwing easy,” Anthopoulos said Sunday.Last edited by Joey; Thu May 14, 2015, 12:41 PM.

He's got a fastball that goes 92-96 and, apparently, a hammer of a 12-6 curveball. He's only 22, so, you know, patience.....
