Some sarcasm there. But I hope I'm right too. Wr have heard it all before, something just FEELS right this time. But hey I thought the mavericks were going to be a dynasty in like 94. Hosmer and meyers have me excited and if moose hasn't turned to mousse like that cat up there keeps saying, maybe he can be the basher of the group.

While Greinke still plays for us. 2 things happen next year, he plays well and we win some games and he resigns with us, or he plays well and someone offers us a bigger return than what we might turn down this offseason.

Or has a down year you still don't win and he still won't sign with you or he gets hurt and then you won't even get the two picks. Is that a gamble this organization can take? Ask the Nats how not trading Dunn worked out.

I don't see a sure thing, though, save Greinke himself.

fine. People are going nuts about the price we are asking, but its really not THAT much higher than the picks we'd get anyway. Pay us or dont, we'll have even less incentive to deal next year.

oh God no, something bad might happen if we take a risk. Quick, take what we can get.

Thats part of the reason why the price is high. If you read some of the recent interviews, DM has at least publicly said he thinks we have a fighting chance to re-sign if we do well in 2012. Maybe he doesnt really believe that and hes just saying the right things, but its hard to tell with this kid.

I'm not wrong. If we dont trade him this year, his value obviously declines, probably to the point where the draft picks arent worth much less than what we could get. Throw in the possibility of re-signing, and I dont think there's much of a chance we trade at all if he's a Royal next August.
The only way we lose if we dont trade is if he goes straight into the toilet. We cant just "probably" do better than the 2 draft picks, we have to clearly and decisively win, especially in THIS market.

My friend sent me this today -- It's hysterical.
The Mets signed a impact player today -- YOU! If you click on this link http://mets.mlb-brochure.com/2011/#/login You put in your name and telephone number, and your name will appear at various times in the video. The Mets general manager will actually call your house and welcome you as their “new” signing. It's a really cool marketing video.
