Harmony is cagey though. He points out that 'Buchholz-Miley choice' was never confirmed, only speculated. But then he makes a case for why the M's would have preferred Miley given the choice.
I get the idea, I just don't think Buch would have added a whole lot to the package. My guess is that any teams we asked about good starters were asking Betts or Bogaerts.
I'm talking about throwing Buchholz and his 13 million salary on top of the prospects. A rebuilding team would just want prospects, and a contender wouldn't trade a good pitcher.
Farrell should have been able to use Kimbrel there. He was plenty rested, and he's our incredibly expensive, usually blows guys away 'relief ace', isn't he?
Looks like they're going to have to print up some 'Kimbrel rules' for Farrell.
It's fair to question Farrell, but if Kimbrel consistently turns into a total stiff in non-save situations that's one more significant problem for our pitching staff.
Kimmi, it's not really any different from constantly reiterating that the Buch option was a no-brainer even though you know there are a number of people that don't agree.
