Plenty. They just weren't real and only existed when fans tweeted idiotic things to JCR

Guys like Danny Valencia and Josh Harrison aren't much more exciting, if at all.

The only names I kept hearing were Sean Rodriguez and Jordy Mercer. Other stuff was minor leaguers from Milwaukee. Seattle was the team that I kept hearing like LoMo but only if they got rid of Smoak

Who knows on the Price deal-I heard yesterday at the meetings that Seattle wanted Price but he didnt wanna go there. The deal they kept talking about was

TB-Walker,MI(Franklin,Miller,Ackley),and Smoak or even Morrison
Seattle-Price

We were checking in on it to tho to see if either of them want LoMo and we could make it a 3way

That was probably dumb, but also probably irrelevant.

If Capps was the best player overall for him, sure. Irrelevant. BPA all day.

It's hard to ignore they just acquired a right handed reliever and let a perfectly dandy one go though.

That slider also looks really good. His peripherals against right-handed hitters are rather dominant.

Capps' '12 minor's numbers are good. Plus he's 6'5, 220 and still 23. I suppose for what we are paying him this is a good addition to the pen.

Here's Garrett Jones homering off Carter Capps

For the record, I'd rather we had kept Lomo.

For what it's worth, a guy like Capps has more upside than someone like Ryan Webb.

Not sure Webb would have lasted anyway he would have been dealt but I agree with the Webb thing was a big headscratcher

[Nick]

The return seems appropriate for LoMo, I just don't see why were so desperate to deal him if we weren't gonna significantly upgrade our situation at 1B.

Arm slot.

[Miamarlin21]

He hit his spot there, Jones is just so good against righties

I agree with that completely, and I like Capps as a solid BP arm moving forward.

But I just have a problem giving away relievers and then getting new ones, and in the process give up on a guy who is still young and could develop into a solid starter. It's just really inefficient.
