Ummm, let me be the first to say the White Sox can keep Jose Quintana and his close to 6.00 ERA

The hype with that guy is unreal, and undeserved

And Brett Gardner is on steroids

The Blue Jays scare me

Yes, yes, cower in fear or some such

They might not even stop at fourth place, may even head on up to third

Yeah, Howie was going on and on about it during the radio broadcast. At least they actually won this game but the extra innings pitched can't be good for an already-overworked bullpen.

I hate to say I expect them to be fine...If you look at the teams ahead of them (Nationals aside), I think there are a lotta pretenders there.......They should get healthy, than get fat off some horrible NL teams...But June could be tricky, their schedule in June is their toughest month

I don't worry about the offense too much. They'll be streaky but overall I think they can outscore most NL teams - just need the pitching to get healthy. Not having Syndergaard and Familia sucks, and we never know what Harvey's gonna do. Wheeler has been a pleasant surprise, I expected him to struggle way worse.

Wheeler has good stuff, I see him a lot like Severino...Some growing pains, ups and downs, but some dominant outings....But I see them both as top of the rotation guys down the road......They are absolutely gonna need to swing a deal for a BP arm...If Matz and Lugo return, the rotation should get by, but that BP wont survive as is IMO

I mean he's obviously having a horrible stretch, but he has 4 straight seasons prior to this of 200 innings and a 3.20-3.51 ERA. Add in the 3 more years at team friendly contracts through his age 31 season, and you can understand the trade value I'm sure.

You won't be scared after we take 3 of 4 in Toronto this weekend

Matz...is soft. I don't trust him to stay healthy for more than a month.

But where are my manners? We're not talking about the Yankees at all

I will personally drive Sabathia to the strip club with a complimentary jug of courvoissier

Yeah, I hear ya, but the "Ace" type package they are seeking for him, Ive never seen him as that guy......All reports indicated they were asking the Yankees for basically the equivalent of what they got for Sale, which meant Torres +........Im just glad he isnt sporting a 6ERA in the Bronx

Quintana got rocked worse

Talk about a game NOT living up to it's Hype....

Right now I am loving I traded him for Sano and Giolito last season... Granted Giolito has done jack but still
