Rudy Pemberton said:While true, it also makes the free agent pitcher depth kind of irrelevant. If they aren't willing to give Lester what it takes, they seem unlikely to sign Shields or Scherzer, at least.
If everything breaks right, they can probably find value and sign a few from the group of Haren, McCarthy, Masterson, Hammel, de la Rosa, etc. and hope to get lucky.

Good luck with that. Some of us have been asking for that for months. Nothing like a link to a twitter page and then having to scroll back through and guess what the poster was referring to. Some guys at least post a link that pulls up the direct tweet, at least thats less painful.

iPhone with Safari and they show up fine. Maybe don't use the app?

If you have a problem, talk to a moderator. URI asked that all tweet links be copied and pasted into the post so that they come up as shown.Papelbon's Poutine said:

Sure, and then take 15 seconds to copy/paste the text as well.
What's the point? BEING FIRST IS THE ONLY POINT /corsiDrewDawg said:
Yeah. It's incumbent on the person delivering the info to make sure it's accessible to those that want to read it. If it's not, what's the point?

The fuck machine you using it takes you 15 seconds to copy/paste from one tab to another?
wibi said:PJRs post in this thread took nearly the same time to post as the other fuckwits posting tweets. The difference I can actually see the tweet posted. Cherno gets a solid second place with the summary above the tweet which works well too

I don't see how the A's can put together a competitive offer for Lester unless there is just no market for him, which doesn't appear to be the case.
Where is the match here?
Thank you Snod.Snodgrass said:

Flipping them for Stanton.rodderick said:
Fuck, we're getting two Miguel Gonzalez?
Why don't we just get rid of the auto embed feature that we put in less then a year ago? Have people copy and paste the tweet then highlight the tweet and click the erase icon (top left in the post box I believe) then just paste the link as a hyperlink.SeoulSoxFan said:Thank you Snod.

I doubt it, almost certianly would have come up in a physical.gammoseditor said:
Just speculating, but the timing is odd. We were close to a deal with the O's, then we weren't, and now a top prospect is shut down. Wonder if they were trying to dump him on us.

I don't get why we would target Puig or Stanton since we could just add another prospect and get Trout, right?Papelbon's Poutine said:No dude, Puig.
I love the "Seinfeld" when Costanza says he's found out a way to get Bonds and Griffey and "not give up that much."Cellar-Door said:I don't get why we would target Puig or Stanton since we could just add another prospect and get Trout, right?

j44thor said:With everyone supposedly now dropping out of the Lester race is it possible that the Peavy return ends up better than the Lester return? If Escobar and Hembree were the only offer for Lester is that better than the comp pick?
Sure would suck if that was the case but man would Sabean look like an idiot.

No. If the price dropped that low, then even the teams that were out would come back in and bid it back up. If all the Giants had to do tomorrow to land Lester was match the value they gave up for Peavy, then Sabean would be adding Lester as well.j44thor said:With everyone supposedly now dropping out of the Lester race is it possible that the Peavy return ends up better than the Lester return?
