He's okay fulfilling the rest of his contract if they kiss his ass? Gimme a break.
Not necessarily. There was always the option of just putting Wandy on waivers and seeing if anyone claimed him. Colorado did last year and then we...
Eh. That read like a college frosh who just took microeconomics. This information is surprising to no one. The CBA is what it is for a reason....
Everyone? He's kind of like Nolan Fontana: high floor, low ceiling. He gets on base at a high clip, has nice doubles power, and is a decently...
I know. I was wondering if he did.
I've come down a bit from my blatant hatred of this trade. Grossman hopefully will provide a decent stop gap to Springer and then years of...

Yes. Yes it was. Trading a lefty who has average a mid-3's era over the last 5 years for a bunch of non-impact prospects was a bad deal. None...
Moral of the story: Luhnow traded Lee/Lyon/Happ/Wandy/Myers for a lot of depth and zero impact prospects.
This trade depends on how much money Luhnow is throwing down. None of these prospects are anything to get excited over. Like the Carlos Lee deal....
Disappointed we couldn't even get Alan Hansen or Gregory Polanco as a centerpiece
Blog bios on Owens and Colten
Obviously Hansen woulda been a better package, but 1 top 10 prospect and 2 more top 20's ain't bad.
