Shady starts two thread types:
1. Redundant, repetitive and wrong
2. Redundant, repetitive and obvious.

He pretends they are original genius concepts in both instances, that only he can think of. He then spends the rest of the thread calling people names and being an (donkey), but having to edit his responses 5.67 times on average.
Yet, you are obsessed to the point you read every single word of every single post I make. You know you do. Like most of my critics do.
Ok Shadyville
So do you are you wouldn't be bbitching so much.

I think he typed it literately as he would have said it.

Shadys grandiosity has no limits.

"Grandiosity refers to an exaggerated sense of self-importance, often accompanied by an inflated sense of one's abilities, achievements, or significance. It can manifest as a belief in one's specialness, superiority, or uniqueness, and can be a symptom of various mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder and narcissistic personality disorder."

Agree with the majority, pointless call up, no need to rush him and screw up another top prospect

What part of this is NOT a season they will compete do people not understand?

Let him continue to bang on the door in AAA and call him up for a cup of coffee in September.
Yes by all means we should rush our best prospect who will be here for a decade in order to REJUVENATE THE FAN BASE!!! LOL
Eff the fan base!
And BTW....I am part of the fan base. So eff me also!!!!! LOL
Make a solid plan and stick to it!
1) We don’t have an unlimited active roster!
2) Exactly WHERE at the PRESENT does everyone who NEEDS TO PLAY play?????
3) I am super psyched over JJ but is he supposed to TRANSFORM us into a playoff contender the last two months?????

LMAO......talk about Short Attention Span Theater!!!!

Yet, you can't ignore me either. Why is that? Anybody that keeps griping is doing that because they are reading my posts. If they would just ignore me, they'd have no need to gripe. 2+2=4.

I confess I am as excited by JJ as anyone. But logic has to prevail. He can not lift this team into a WS challenger. Pitching is now showing massive holes and the offense has also lost it's mojo.

I'm happy to wait and see him a bit in September. If he kills it in spring next year bring him up with a long look and fixed position.

I’ll wait 48 hours before responding. I want to make sure each of your personalities has ample time to edit.

Agree 100% Cuse. Prospect development is about getting every ounce of potential out of young players, so they can have long successful careers. it is not about rejuvenating the fan base of a .500ish team or filling a roster hole on the MLB club. Some play checkers, some play chess.

The organization KNOWS that Wetherholt is a budding player for years to come.
Winn looks good
Herrera looks good
Donovan looks good
Contreras still looks good
Burleson beginning to look good(fingers crossed)
We have 2 or 3 catchers on the rise who look good

But.....what about Gorman? Walker??
These guys need to play out 2025 to determine once and for all if they should be kept.
Enough with the Short Attention Span Theater! LOL

Rushing up another prospect to fail will not rejuvinate the team. No. Dont do reactionary things just cuz the teams bad. Id razher gove fermin at bats since hes out of options next year to prove whether we should keep him or kick him to the curb.

How did rushing walker to appease fanbase work out? How did rushing scott last year cuz fans were excited about stupid spring training numbers work out last year?

Nah. Keep him away from this Chit show. Let him start fresh next year with a (hopefully) competent new coaching staff and a fresh jolt of life on the team

Maybe they have and he will be dealt?
You could then also deal Arenado and put Donovan at 3B?
You could still wait on JJ until at least September and put Saggese at 2B?
In the meantime....unless those moves are made you still wait on JJ.
