Now, I am getting confused. Are they settled on Oswalt or not?
-
Yes, pitchers have been able to pitch around 12-13 months after surgery, but none have been able to return to full time major league effectiveness in less than 18 months. Zimmerman's starts in 2010 were little more than glorified rehab starts. He was going 3 or 4 innings with 6 days in between. We will not have that kind of luxury during a pennant race. Even in 2011, more than 18 months after the surgery, Zimmerman was only able to make 26 starts, frequently getting extra rest between starts. The pitchers that made it back in less than 18 months returned in the final month of the season and they put up 25-40 innings of work. I don't think Dice K will make it back appreciably sooner. We will not have the luxury to give him 3 inning starts or 6 or 7 days between starts, and I would be willing to set the over/under betting on 50 innings. I'll take the under.

A new mod is needed

The place is running just fine. It's always been a very open forum where we have a lot of leeway. Every once in a while a crazy troll comes back and blows up almost immediately. -
It usually takes 18 months for a starter to return to major league effectiveness.
-
It doesn't matter how hard they work. All of these guys work hard at rehabbing, so I wouldn't expect that he will recover any sooner than the others, certainly not 6 months sooner.

What a sick pup! He should do the world a favor and hurl himself off a high rock when he goes hiking.
-
This should happen quickly. I would think an agreement was in place prior to the Scutaro move. Otherwise, why bother to make the move and weaken the lineup?

Aviles at SS will hurt the teams defense IMO.
-
-
Hmm... Cole Hamels? I don't even want to let my self think that is possible. He won $15 million in arbitration. Wouldn't that blow the cap?
-
We should be able to add a RH platoon piece for RF.
-
I think you are right. The most time consuming part of this process should be the medical exams.
-
-
I don't think he has been put in a bad situation. This team is only a couple of pieces and a Crawford recovery of being a very very good team. The biggest piece is a good starting pitcher.
-
An Oswalt deal should have been pretty much in place waiting for the salary relief. This shouldn't drag on.
-
The guy makes no sense at all. Who here didn't want to get a starting pitcher. If we get one, why would anyone be hurting other than Yankee fans?
-
There is always the possibility that this salary dump was meant to free up money for Ortiz's arbitration award. If that is the case, I will be pissed.
-
-
We have to pick up some bench players, either IF or OF or both.
-
He's a bag of suck. It was a salary dump all the way. Hopefully, the second shoe drops very soon... like tonight.
-
It was definitely just a salary dump, because Mortensen is a bag of suck.
-
I hear from one of my sources that he was doodling contracts on bar napkins yesterday at Happy Hour.
-
Let's hope that they are clearing cap space for Oswalt and not to pay Ortiz.
