Does Victoria still beat Rockets if Rockets pickup Byram?

The Rockets have given up pretty much everything of value. Not sure Bruce can even get that.

Portland and Everett keep each other on their toes too much for anyone in Kamloops to claim the West will be easy. Maybe Everett? (Portland has one too many bogey teams to get too comfortable)

I want to respond, but my head hurts from trying to decipher what you just said.

Portland is a very young team, and that was evident in their 4-1 loss the last time they played Kamloops.

Only team out West that makes me nervous, is Everett. Not Portland. They are beatable.

I really wonder if the Giants would entertain offers for Byram.

The Giants are under performing this season and they are far from the force that I thought they would be, not sure on their playoff expectations.

The Giants trade for Eric Florchuk seems to indicate that they want to make another run this season.

Entertain offers for Byram ... when? You know the trade deadline has passed right? Maybe in the off-season? If he continues to play like he has (nowhere near as good as last year), he could be back in the dub next year...

Regardless who they traded for, the Giants are done this season. 1 and done. There is absolutely no way they'd be able to take out Kamloops or Victoria in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Goes for Kelowna too. Even when healthy.

You are probably right but I wonder if giants management are aware of this reality.

By the time the Rockets get their full line-up, it will be to late in the season to start gelling, and have a legitimate chance at beating any of the top teams. This is blowing up in Hamilton's face, and I don't think too many people are sad about it.

he has hit enough home runs in his career he was due for one to blow up in his face.....

Agreed, he's still batting .800. Where even with the season so far, Kamloops is still .210
