Which is why I said we would have to pay the contract, which we have to do anyway if he sucks and we don't keep him He is still young enough to...
If he isn't deemed someone who could help us, I could We are going to have to pay the salary one way or the other. So if he isn't deemed as a...
Which is a large part of why you need to have good prospects Obviously some will need to be a part of your team, but if you can get value for...
Young guy with power, there would be some that would want him...but we would have to eat most of the salary
Awesome to see us as a favorite Obviously doesn't mean anything till we do it But after the past so many years Awesome
Except it was just 2013 since he was better 2H than 1H, not back before he was out of baseball And before his last 3 starts of the year, his 2H...
Yea if everyone believes what clutch fans says, then you are definitely right I seriously doubt that a guy with more better second halves in...
Yea you may be right, but I'd prefer to go into the season with what we have rather than lose the pick for a guy like that. Then go after someone...

If Luhnow feels that way, he won't spend the necessary money it will take to sign him If velocity or "stuff" got considerably worse after 20...
Not on Aiken at all, rules don't allow physicals And saying we botched that pick assumes this years replacement pick busts, which is a bit...
Absolutely We still have 4 guys who are in every top 100 list after this trade, and that doesn't count Feliz, Martes and Fisher who is still...
I think signing Kazmir could be a huge difference maker for 2016. A lot is obviously being made of how "terrible" his second half was the last...
