So someone other than Lincecum and Bumgarner is putting together a piece of magic. Chris Heston only has 2 HBP through 8.
Here's the story of my fantasy baseball life: Heston is pitching well. I pick him up. He pitches like crap. I drop him. He throws a no-no.![]()
I'm okay with that IF he is not the only big name starter that the Sox get.
Also, I don't want to loose trade pieces now that we could use later. Especially if more SP talent will "only" cost money in the post season.
I won't cry if the Sox get him now. I would just prefer someone like Cueto or Price.
Two things:
1. Pitching a no-no for the league's worst team six days before the deadline is an indication of just how much Hamels wants out... It will certainly intensify the slobbering over him
2. Those two catches by Herrerra looked like a play I would make, except I wouldn't slip. I would just lay out, even if I didn't need to.
