Aight so we one the same page then, I think...
Moving on, what's your take on Ibanez and Morales? I've heard a few rumblings about how some fans consider them pieces for the long term (even though they've got like 2 more players exactly like them in Bay and Morse). And about how others are thinking maybe they're trade-bait or at least place holders until the cavalry arrive (whoever they are). Do you see them being with Seattle beyond this season? Morales in particular?

I'd disagree on those first points. First off, I like Morse but Morales is a much more complete hitter when healthy. Uses the whole field, draws a lot of walks, switch hitter, etc. Morse is good when hot but he goes through major cold spells as well and strikes out as much as anybody. As for Jason Bay, he looked good for a bit but has been awful lately. Ibanez on the other hand has 13 home runs. Neither one of them were supposed to (or should be) playing as much as they have but Ibanez has made the most of it and Bay has been pretty bad lately. With that said, there's no way anyone could expect Ibanez to be a long term guy, dude's 41 lol. As for Morales, we should at least try to re-sign him, he's the type of hitter they've been looking for and pretty much everythign Smoak was supposed to be. Our pussy ass Nintendo ownership group should at least try to make it happen but I have zero faith in them and he's a Boras client so who the fuck knows. The idea of them being trade-bait is certainly a possibility, you would just have to weigh what we're getting vs what we're giving up, we do not have a very good track -record in deadline deals as you know.

Okay, so Morales is a maybe and Ibanez is...
On a completely unrelated note, the Astros have more wins than the Mets and Marlins right now. LMAO!
The battle for next year's first overall pick is heating up 8).

I don't wanna start multiple threads on mlb but Yasiel Puig did a video to convince people to vote 4 him 2 be in this years ASG. Anyone think he should be there? He is 1 of the hottest new players out there, mlb is too much in the stone age anyways. Never mind certain old fogies who've been in there enuff times as is. Show some of the new talent. Hopefully Puig tears it up at the new yankee stadium.
About motherbleeping time the dodgers played at yankee stadium for the 1st time since 1981. Shoulda happened as early as 2002 but no mlb sold out & ruined interleague play with the constant same city thing every single year >:( Nfl don't do same state/city teams every year in regular season, & they shouldn't unless its preseason. Shoulda happened when Joe Torre managed the Dodgers, I wondered how yankee fans would react when he came back in dodger gear :-\
MistaNova:
TBH I don't think Puig deserves to go the ASG but he has been something of a fresh air for the struggling Dodgers. Much like Harper, Trout and Darvish last year the hype might carry him there.
At the same time I'm trying to think of who else the Dodgers would send to the ASG. Kershaw is a lock but last I checked most of their positions players either suck or are hurt. So Puig might go by default.
If he does go it's be awesome if we could see another brawl and Puig goes bat-shit crazy. #ManBearPuig.
And speaking of the Dodgers, welcome home Donnie Baseball :).
