i dont give a shit what that says…i wanna hear what people have to say now not 15 days ago…but thanks anyways

That's definitely how you should go about trying to get responses

The post he quoted asked about this exact trade. Nothing has changed in the last 15 days that should affect your decision or anyone else’s. Make the trade, you’re getting premium talents at SS and C along with a huge upside SP in Taillon.

Now..

or 15 days ago, everyone with a brain would have said take it.

More than 1/3 of your 33 spots are SP? Seems odd.

like i said i already had my mind made up about the trade…i just wanted him to see some flip flopping…

that sentence right there should be used as the definition of trolling. If he already made his mind up, then there was no reason to ask for an opinion. As far as flip flopping, that’s not going to happen when there’s such a ridiculous offer as this. Now can someone ban this tool from here?

very clever, captain howdy is it?…lol jesus, ur family allow u near the kids yet…i would hope not….and nix theres a reason i dont post on this site…its pathetic…a bunch of crybabies posting their opinions from their houses like they are scouts…and look at every post, it always turns into a fight…the worst thing they ever did was let people blog and have an outlet to express their own opinions…theres #4…

You have to make this deal

Let’s not fall for the recency trap. Taillon has a ceiling equal if not better than Moore’s IMHO. You throw in one of the best SS prospects in the game, AND arguably the top catching prospect (two hard positions to fill) and this is a no-brainer. Only way I wouldn’t do it is if you are all-in for next year, since only Mesoraco should be playing in the bigs next year. Your rotation is young enough IMO that you can wait the 2-3 years it will take before Taillon tastes the bigs, but I think it’ll be worth the wait.

Taillon has a ceiling equal if not better than Moore's?

Moore was throwing high 90’s, with possibly 3 plus pitches if I recall correctly and is left handed. I don’t see Taillon’s ceiling nearly as high as Moore’s/

by Looney4baseball on Oct 3, 2025 6:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agreed

Just because Moore is in the majors doesn’t mean his ceiling isn’t ridiculously high.

Yea

Taillon has a ridiculous ceiling and from what we are told he has 3 potential plus pitches. But until he proves it in the upper minors, I cant say his ceiling is as high as Moore. I think Moore has top of the league potential, which is why I offered him Taillon, Mesoraco and Profar for Moore.

I know most of you say its a no brainer and told me not to do it in the other thread but I just though it was a perfect trade. He has Vmart and Jeter. I have Posey and Tulo. I’m happy if this trade gets done and happy if I dont. I still have Felix, Lester, Lee, Hanson, Strasburg, Ubaldo, Price, Holland, H.Alvarez, Duffy, Matusz, Bauer, Gray and Taillon. I really just wanted Moore, didn’t need him.

lol

12 teams but it was a free for all for prospects up until this year. I basically had a shit team for 3 seasons or so and held as many prospects as i could.. lol

by MikePrz on Oct 5, 2025 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

also

now that we are drafting i hope it starts to balance out

by MikePrz on Oct 5, 2025 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

My take on the deal:

It’s a no brainer. You should delete your minorleagueball.com account and drop Matt Moore.
