  1. We aren't in July. If they are out of it in July, then sell
  2. Who trades controllable pitching for a pitcher with one year left? And if they trade him for a prospect, they should sell the team.
  3. This is the opposite of true. They signed the most expensive free agent pitcher last year. And others. Nothing about this post is accurate.
  4. Agreed. The Mets are not making their MLB team worse this year. They are adding to it.
  5. . Because rookies aren't usually league average. Because the free agents have already shown they can be successful. Do you expect all three rookies to be good this year? Better than they could have signed?
  6. No idea. They didn't sign any new starting pitchers. I don't know who is actually available for trade, and the history of trades shows not many good pitchers are traded..... As I've pointed out for some time. But then, I've posted what I would do, and not just said no to everyone else..... I guess my answer has to be trade for the best pitcher they can, assuming they think he's a number three or better.
  7. They haven't added any of them that weren't already on the team, which is the point. But you know that. anyone ranked below Pineda is still likely to be better than three rookies. What would you have done? Not sign Ryu to 4 years, or any to 4 years or more. So, what would you have done, or do now?
  8. The only one I don't like is Pressley. He was signed for another year, and they didn't have enough relief pitchers. The mistake with Lynn was not signing him earlier in the off season, so he'd be ready for the season. He's exactly the pitcher some of us thought he was in TX.....
  9. 24 of Fangraphs top 30 starting pitchers are off the market. This isn't only about the top end, but passing on the next tier, and the next tier.
  10. no one is forgetting that.....but many said the lack of depth was a problem before either happened.....
  11. I see almost no chance Sano is signed. And barely any for Buxton.
  12. They will have to be. But that's not what the post said..
  13. One of whom is controlled for one more year.....
  14. Free agency has not been crazy. It has been the same at the last few years. The difference is that there are more good players this year. But the money is in line with the last few years.
  15. what realistic plan do you like at this point?
  16. Compared to a random guy in A or AA last year? Keuchel isn't likely to be better than that? You believe he's not likely to be better than someone from their minors that isn't already penciled in? Also, Cleveland just signed a new starting 2B......today.
  17. good post. Well written and persuasive.
  18. I'd be good with a trade for Archer over either of these two options for sure. Of course, he'll cost money and prospects.....not just money.
  19. you said signing those guys would not be an improvement.......over what they have now. that's all I was responding to. I have no idea who will be good with certainty, but I'd bet he's better than any of the rookies on the Twins this year, so yes, he'd be an improvement. And, it isn't about just Bumgarner or Ryu, but all of the 20+ free agent starting pitchers they've passed on......
  20. You think the rookies on this roster will be better then Ryu and Bumgarner this year?
  21. they refused to offer that much to any of the free agents this year, why would we think they'll do so for Odo, when they don't have to to keep him this year/
  22. According to national writers, this is the best FA class since 2003.....and the team has added one relief pitcher so far that wasn't on the roster last year. And signed a backup catcher. On a team that cut payroll last year.....
  23. No. People just keep listing players they hope are available. But if we look at the off season trade market, top starting pitchers aren't traded that often. About 0-3 a year......
