    I guess they're definitely buyers now right? They's on pace for 91 wins and just perusing the schedule, with no scientific method at all, I'd say they land at 88-89 wins. That's crazy.

    I am not selling everything for Machado. But you do have to get someone right? Offensively, I'd say someone like Moustakas or Beltre and pitching maybe one of Hamels/Happ/Ross - just someone to take the back end of the rotation.

    I'd even say if you're gonna go all out for a player I might go for Arenado since you at least get an extra year of control with him. Plus, you'd still have the funds to go after many other players in free agency. Hell, possibly even Machado to play short.

    EDIT: I can't believe I'm talking about any of this.

    Machado is not a shortstop.  Goodness gracious, his range left is dare I say worse than Jeter. 

    Hate these Yankees rumors, though he wouldn't be playing short for them, obviously.

    I get you can make someone play where ever the hell you want them to play or they can ride the bench, but isn't he all about pissing and moaning to play short?

    He is. They asked him after the game and he said "I'm a shortstop".  I don't get it.  Yesterday was the first time I noticed it, not sure I have watched many yanks/o's games this year, but it was really really really bad.  Wouldn't a really good third baseman with a cannon of an arm have more value than a shitty shortstop?

    there was a story i saw somewhere the other day where it said Machado is i think one of the top 3 third basemen by metrics but in the lower half of shortstops.  I guess if you can hit like he can they will let you play where you want.  heck the Phils have a 2nd baseman playing shortstop, a shortstop on the DL who was playing 3rd, a 2nd baseman (originally before coming to Phils) playing center field and a first basemen playing left field so Machado at short would fit right in.

    Trade deadline is going to be very interesting for the Phils for sure.  I think they get one veteran bat and a relief pitcher.  Hamels and Happ end up with Yanks and Sox in some fashion. Those two teams are going to match whatever the other does I think.

    Have made my opinion known on the Phils approach to defensive positions, so I'll leave that alone.  But if you're signing a 10 year contract and are a very good 3rd baseman and a below average SS,  just play 3rd.  Teams are going to value you as 3rd assuming you'll move someday.  Then again, the Yanks played my favorite player out of position for 10 years, so you have a point haha.  Little different situation though.

    I guess short stop is the "sexier" position in baseball now? That's why he's so obsessed with playing there? Whoever ends up trading for and/or signing him will probably have to agree to play him there initially...but I would be surprised if don't they move him back to third within a year or two.


    Arenado is interesting.  Rockies are still kind of in wild card chase though. You think they would want to trade him at this point?

    Hasn't it always been that way - that SS is the sexy position when it comes with power? I mean when he was drafted the comp was A Rod right? But A Rod was actually a Gold Glover at short.

    I'm not sure if the Rockies would ever do it, but I read an article a week or so ago that said how he's sick of not being in the playoffs and contending year in and year out, etc. I would think that will always be a problem with Colorado. I'd just rather be aggressive for someone I at least have control over for another year instead of a pure rental, which is just dumb to give everything up.

    Yeah....just happy to have a competitive team again and even thinking about this stuff.


    I fired up the ol' At Bat app for the first time in a few years a couple weeks ago.

    That start alone was worth trading Galvis.
