It’s silly to pretend we shouldn’t question/critique a GM who absolutely can grow & has done some GOOD, but also made some obvious & pretty substantial errors in 22 (lcomp 3rd for Pringle/Muhammad, traded premium pick for Claypool, whiffed almost entirely on discount FA class)
@BShulkes It’s also pretty silly to pretend like you understand the discussions or calculations that go on behind the scenes. Just because YOU think it’s an error, doesn’t mean the team will. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s bad process.
@n0t_pop Then don’t talk about anything ever bc you don’t fully understand like these guys, I will give my opinion. Also I used a tangible example on comp pick formula where people were calling this out as a potential massive error as it was happening.
@clowe1008 @n0t_pop Agree to slightly disagree as I was extremely low on Claypool before he was traded to us and Poles made me look silly as a day before I had tweeted “nobody is trading a 2nd for Claypool”. One of my biggest Ls on year. Anyway, more important, adorable kiddo you got there.
@BShulkes @clowe1008 @n0t_pop You act like acquiring players is like buying groceries. FA players have to want to play here and for the price we offer, potential trade partners have their own trade values and prices and sometimes you aren't going to get what you want.
@TSWillis33 @BShulkes @clowe1008 You’re right, but people would rather the Bears adjust their valuations of players to overpay them even more to bring them here…which is just bad business.
