I'm sorry, I thought you were disengaged? In all seriousness, you need to go back and reread my previous posts. I'm not hating the FO for not trading Bieber yet, and I clearly explained how I understand others desire to keep him. I have an opinion and it's nothing more than that. I haven't badmouthed anyone for having a opposing opinion.Your quote: Remind them of Kluber and how we were lucky to get anything for him at all.
Really? Why is that exactly? Were you serious?
We were lucky to get anything at all for Kluber because he had exactly 1 yr of control remaining after a season where he went 2-3 with a ERA over 5 due to injuries. The year prior he was 20-7 and it was pretty obvious that we had already witnessed the best of him. I know hindsight is 20/20, but there are lessons to be learned by looking back. Maybe Shane will surprise all of us and accept a team friendly deal to stay in Cleveland. That would be awesome, but how likely do you think that is? The difference here is how we see the "window" and I have no problem with anyone that thinks they should put all the chips in now even if I don't agree. I just happen to believe dealing Bieber now would greatly increase our chances of assembling a WS contender going forward. I'm not even certain how it hurts our chances now because like Kluber, I think we've already seen the best of Bieber.
