When did adding three starters = not trying?

[CCard]

Overhauled the starting staff before Xmas and that equals tanking? Hmm…

And obviously Bloom isn’t done with trades and FA signings.

Also, he traded a 34 year old and a 37 year old, with 2 and 1 years remaining respectively. And he still want to trade a floundering Arenado.

Lol. Some of you guys are acting like he’s trading Rolen-Pujols-Edmonds circa ‘03….

Overhauled what? Adding minor league pitchers is not overhauling anything. Yes, trading away your best pitcher and best hitter and soon to be traded Donovan does equal tanking. When your plan is to not compete that equals tanking. Yes, yes it does.

They added three major league starters who could be good or better than their replacements. So the starting pitching can be better year over year.

Regarding the offense, the offseason isn’t over yet.

Who are these major league starters you speak of? I haven't seen major league starters be acquired. Possible major league starters, but so were Mikolas and Pallante.

May, Fitts and Dobbins.

And there are talks of adding another arm via FA.

Quantity does not mean quality. Were these guys starters for the clubs that traded them? Are they better than Pallante, or Fedde or Mikolas? Well...Mikolas might be stretching it.

So, you know nothing about the players the team acquired, but you're here to [shirt] in the thread?

You mad bro? I know they weren't serious starters for their teams. Enlighten us all as to how great they are and how they'll lift the Cards rotation to prominence. Please go ahead since you obviously know so much.

They weren't starters for their teams? You're just so (drat) proud of your ignorance, aren't you?

Show me or shut up.

Nah, exposing and prolonging your obstinate ignorance is fun for the whole family, why would I ruin that by teaching you something you have no desire to learn?

How's the weather under the bridge?

You came into the thread to [shirt] in it while merrily exposing your own ignorance, and I'm the troll? Good stuff, man, keep it up. BTW, when I laugh I'm laughing at you, not with you.

You just have nothing left.
