he seems like a bad replacement for Carson Smith.

Pirates trade Charlie Morton to the Phillies. 

HaHa Astros. Thankfully they screwed that pick up. It would have been great if they hadn't picked Correa the year before, there was a bunch of rumors that the Cubs would have picked him at #6 instead.

You would trade Bryant for Correa then? Because that would have been the result.  The Astros probably would have agreed to terms with Appel in 2012 if they weren't interested in Correa, leaving Bryant as the pick in 2013.

I'm not 100% on that.  They might have taken Gray.  Going into the draft Appel/Bryant/Gray were all clumped together in a group.  Correa for Bryant would be interesting, I'm not sure who I would rather have.  I think the chances are decent that Correa will end up at third at some point.  He'll give better defense, less K's.  Bryant will have more power.  Both are really good young players.

Heyman saying more money than he turned down with the DBacks.  If he's healthy in that park he will be amazing.  His health scares me.

I'm enjoying the rumors that Kershaw went to the front office and told them they need to trade Puig.

One of the rumors I heard was when they where in Chicago the bus stopped so that rookies could go buy the vets piazza and Puig was trying to find his suitcase underneath the bus and must have held up the bus.  Greinke got so mad he went and found Puig's bad and threw it into the middle of the street.  A couple of the vets, I think one was Haren, actually took an Uber cab to the team hotel.

I don't think there have been any rumors about Soler being a bad teammate.

So the Giants spent $220 million on 2 pitchers.  If they get good Samardzija and healthy Cueto that could be a much better deal than Greinke or Price.  The beta is pretty high on it working though.

Edit: Cueto also gets an opt out after 2017.  Really good deal for him, but I'd be worried if I was a Giants fan.
