  1. None of those stats are needed to see that Lester has stunk for the last 2 seasons. Watching the games tells you that. The stats just confirm it for the doubting Thomases.
  2. I love Pedey, but I thought people here thought that our FO should not be giving out $100 million contracts. I hope he stays healthy and productive.
  3. Right now, we do not have a top 2 that can compare to Price and Moore. That rotation is built for the post season.
  4. They have been to the WS twice in recent years. I guess that they are hoping that the third time will be a charm. As for Cruz, I would think the Rangers have a heads up on that situation and made the move with full knowledge of that situation.
  5. The Yankees have made a habit of getting guys like this for free. The other teams have been picking up the salaries and the Yankees give up some palooka of a prospect.
  6. I think the guy is physically fragile. If he can put up a full season, I would sell high on him, because I have no confidence that he will ever be a reliable innings eater.
  7. I am thinking that he will throw on the side for the next 5 days then send him out on a rehab for 3 starts in 2 weeks. Hopefully, he will be back in 3 weeks. If this takes 6 weeks, we are talking about a Labor Day return.
  8. But Shields is still really good.
  9. They can send him to the minors where Jose Contreras can take him under his wing.
  10. This is a scary week playing the Red hot Rays. I will be in a state of shock if we are in 3rd place after this series.
  11. ^ Yep, this is exactly how I feel. I think Seattle could be the team that rises up in afew years with their young pitching.
  12. The whole scenario is bizarre.
  13. If he turns it around, they probably extend him. If he continues to stink, we will not get much for him.
  14. As someone who remembers the game in the 1960's, I can tell you that today's players is a pampered wuss. Calling Buch a candy ass is not a big stretch. He has plenty of company. He also had good reason to distrust our incompetent medical staff. The whole process just took too long.
  15. I said it at the time and I stand by it. I didn't care if we got anyone in return. If either of the remaining guys 2 guys of the 5 guys we received does anything, it will be gravy.
  16. Baltimore is winning tonight. This race is getting very tight.
  17. Of all the minor league pitchers, he was the most unheralded of the bunch, but he has given us much more than Webster, Rubby or Wright.
  18. Webster pitched a real stinker last night. 1 1/3 innings 3 hits 5 BB and 7 ER. He is not going to provide us with any help this season. His AAA ERA is 4.40. But if we take out all the bad games, he's a stud.
  19. If lester pitches tomorrow as well as Workman did tonight, we will win tomorrow.
  20. Blame him or not. It took too long to resolve.
  21. Players in Yaz's day would have feared losing their jobs if they missed too much time. Teams invested comparatively little even in their stars, so there was no pressure to justify their big investments by getting them back on the field even if their substitute was outperforming them. Pampered princesses are more the rule today than the exception.
  22. You asked m what I would have done if I had a distrust for the medical staff. I would have taken matters into my own hands much sooner.
  23. I'd have seen Andrews much sooner rather than throw away this much of my season. That is what i would have done. Not trusting the medical team is one thing, but what the heck was he waiting for to see the guy he trusted?
  24. More non=baseball BS. Cue the photos of crushed skulls any minute. You are really no one to throw even a pebble.
