What about Choo? The Rangers aren't going to pay him $21M to sit so he's going to be our DH for at least 115 to 135 games this coming season and if we insert Santana into CF then what do we do with Mazara and Gallo? I'm assuming that Gallo becomes our full time RF'er. So Mazara becomes a bench player?
Stop with BS. Name names
At the time the team didn't agree with those assessments and with the people they had on staff I accepted that they saw more than we did. In hindsight I see things differently.
If we were contending Yes. I have my doubts we could flip him. Guess one year contracts are generally over pays.
I just got through, not 30 minutes ago, saying I would have signed Hamels. There are several pitchers available similar to him or better. Hamels was wanting a short term deal. Others will settle for a one or two year deal as well.
You do tend to either ignore or forget what was said about a subject recently. Then when you do try to recall, you misrepresent what I said, like saying I wanted a cheaper pitcher than Minor to replace him with.
And I believe the team did exactly that. They have a hellava a lot information available to them than we do and they made calls based on that. Does every call work ou? No. It is easy to sit on the sidelines and say I knew these guys weren't going to work out but we aren't the ones making the decisions. Should they ask the fans to make all the calls and make their decisions based on what you and I think?
He is filler until something better comes along. We need a lot better filler than Miller, Smyly, and Volquez this year.
Okay on Hamels at his 1 year $18M or 2 years at $30+M.
You said cheap
They certainly shouldn't ask fans. That is a silly question.
Who do you think will be better Gibson or Hamels
Not in the discussion about signing enough pitchers so we could trade Minor. I most certainly did not.
