  1. . 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?
  2. 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.
  3. Because we are talking about adding to the team. But ok. They count. They still need one or two more.... Not what, because they have not added to the team.
  4. Anyone that thinks the Mets are trading away great pitchers right now is crazy.
  5. This doesn't seem like a team that is folding up for the year, and will trade their pitching.......
  6. 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?
  7. 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.....
  8. 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.
  9. My son that is not a sports fan at all had earlier asked if a team could "surrender".....which Zimmer did at that point. But then, taking the stupid time out reminded me why I don't think he's a good coach.....
  10. no one is forgetting that.....but many said the lack of depth was a problem before either happened.....
  11. My order of problems tonight OL Coaching, again Cousins Dropped passes on third down Coaching Whiffing or something on Bradbury Coaching
  12. I see almost no chance Sano is signed. And barely any for Buxton.
  13. They will have to be. But that's not what the post said..
  14. One of whom is controlled for one more year.....
  15. Seventeenth straight year of record revenue...... And a new 1 billion dollar deal comes on with Nike soon.
  16. 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.
  17. what realistic plan do you like at this point?
  18. spoiler...... I both liked it and didn't like it. I liked it more than I didn't. But I know on future viewings the things that bothered me will bother me even more..... Of the things beyond how much the nostalgia bugged me, the utterly useless knights of Ren (in all three movies) is the most disappointing, though probably not the most annoying. Why even introduce the idea of the knights if they are inept losers that do nothing and can't even keep track of people they are following in a city....
  19. Why would AZ trade Escobar?
  20. 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.
  21. good post. Well written and persuasive.
  22. 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.
  23. 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......
  24. You think the rookies on this roster will be better then Ryu and Bumgarner this year?
  25. 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/
