This thread is so funny to read 5 years later.

i cant figure out which post is funniest out of these:1. capella listing all tampa bay outfielders in the organization and saying theyre fine there2. someone asking if they should drop ibanez cuz hes old... 5 yrs ago3. someone mentioning verlander in the same breath as hughes and bailey as having a ceiling of multiple cy youngs

Guy is amazing. But he said himself it would never work with the Rays. Too many demons.

Obviously a great loss though. Shame he got on the coke.

I know this isn't the popular thing to say, but he needs more PT...down in AAA. I don't care how good his start is, logically it is not sustainable for a guy with less than 100 ABs in the minors (especially in only low-A) over the past four years to continue to hit at the major league level.

Screw minor league ABs. We're talking about The Natural II here.

lol

Still funny?

Unstoppable.

Well, you can't slip one by him inside and he's taking outside pitches off or over the left field wall.What's his ceiling?

Seriously? I'm not saying he will or what not, but with his tools, the triple crown is probably his ceiling.

Jesus looking at this thread, and things being equal and we never would have know, blah blah blah

but they could have had a lineup now of:

Cozart

Phillips

Hamilton

Encarnacion

Votto

Bruce

Stubbs

Mesoraco

EE bats cleanup to break up the lefties and I know its early but I think he's gotten things figured out this year and who knows if Hamilton becomes Hamilton here, but why not?

And what do they have to show for these trades?

Latos(who they also had to ship a good piece in Alonso for) and 30 scott rolen homers in 3 years.
