Didn't Chapman get dealt to the Cubs and returned to the Yankees? Much more risk on the team's side if their asset ends up liking their new...
We need a functional SS/3B... and he has the arm to play third. And Pena is still out... I don't expect Paredes to be there until late September....
I blame the defense more than I blame Alexander.
On the bright side, the bullpen wasn't knocked out of commission for the week.
Astros do... you don't give up 5 years of control on a player you drafted in the 8th round....
Zach Short is this year's Loperfido :D
Are we sure that CWS will offer him a qualifying offer...?
Jason Jennings also had an ERA+ of 130 in his final season in Colorado and has a rookie of the year trophy on his bookshelf.
LMJ is just a glorified Jason Jennings.
Verlander needs an off-season to reinvent himself to be late stage (but not career dead) Greinke in being a crafty, wily, old vet.
General question: How big of an issue would it be for players on our trading block to pass their physicals...?
I imagine we go 6-man rotation once Arrighetti or Javier come back. I see Garcia being in the pen.
The CBA may be less friendly to players... might as well get deals under the current conditions...
His brother coming back is inevitable isn't it...?
So he stays in a fully healthy rotation?
Um... I'll take it.
You are just bitter I liked Collin more than Lance.
Let's wait for the Verlander DFA.
I wouldn't mind Javier earlier even if that meant he isn't stretched out.
I am fine with stand pat and hope the young 'uns continue maturing (and pray that their weaknesses aren't scouted out til their sophomore slumps)...
