I would expect him to start at AA and so what happens. I have a lot of hope for him but the expectations are quite low. If he does well I could see him promote after mayb 15 starts but dont see him sniffing the big club in 2014.
I agree about Duensing. I think there will be cheaper equal options on the market. Swarzak I would keep in the same role however, because he is projected at 800k. I would NOT under any circumstances start him though.
I found it intresting he said Trevor would get a contract but declined to answer on Swarsak and Duensing. I wonder why that was? Was he hopin for more bargaining power? Or is he not planning on signing them?
I dont understand the love affair with Josh Johnson and Dan Haren. I see Shawn Marcum and Rich Harden written all over these two. Maybe I am blind...but I would rather have two of Hughes/Jimenez/Kazmir.
The rotation to start next year will probably be Corria Deduno Gibson Pelfry Johnson/haren I say Johnson/ Haren bc both will be cheap. One of those two will pry get released when Meyer gets promoted. My wish list would be Tanaka Deduno Gibson Linsecom/kazmir Corria.
Thank you Mr. Puck! Doesnt look like his arm has the innings that a Matsuzaka or Davarish or Tanaka might have....but I would still rather have Tananka
They need a first baseman. A good one like Abreu. If not him then that justin guy playing for pittsburg. They need starting pitching. Tanka and that Kazmir guy. Or Hughes Kazmir Jimenez johnson haren norlasco: pick any three. I would leave it at that for free adgents unless u want to maybe sign a stephen drew. If possible trade for a minor league pitcher with high upside for our minor leguers not named Buxton or Sano
I woukd expect Hernandez Fryer Benier and Mastro to be next. And wilkin ramierez when he comes of the DL. And I would not be surprised if Duensing was non tendered and then resigned or signed by somebody else.
Gardy....ok fine. But Rick Anderson really needs a new line of work. I remember reading a article on Glen Perkins and he was asked what the worst advice he was ever given was. He said rick anderson told him to throw his change up more
Soscia would be my favorite I think. Then dougie baseball and charlie manuel. It would be awesome if there was another coaching overhaul and all three were coaching at the big league level next yr
I would trade him. For one pitcher. Some one who grades out between meyer and gibson and currently pitches in AA or AAA. Somebody like archie bradly or dylan bundy or tj walker (seattle).
