If you don't believe the multi-team Upton trade talk, Wednesday night a Rangers official called an Astros officisl and said, "we got Upton."

Someone posted this on lonestarball. I was thinking to myself huh?

Because its not true.

Not sure if I believe that. If so, that's a hell of a leak. I mean, it's Friday now and we haven't heard anything.

Rangers officials are pretty tight lipped about things.... so wondering the validity of the statement myself.

 

[romeo212000]

Just do yourself a favor and stop.

Saw that. A team would have to be out of their minds to consider a deal like that. 5 is the max I would give him.

Really? Because you just said what I said was not true, or in lay terms wrong.

Where?

He's injury prone. This past season is the only season he's ever struck out more than 130 hitters. This year it skyrocketed to 230. Even in his cy young season last year he gave up 24 bombs at Citi field. You think that's gonna get better at rbia?

He had one year where he pitched out of his mind. This would be the quintessential mistake of buying high. No thanks.

Which is the only reason the Mets are trying so hard to get as much as they can right now for him. Smart on their part, dumb on anyone that gets close to their asking price.

They are hoping for the panic buyer. The BWI that sees TOR and BOS get stronger, the Yanks still up there and think "we need to make a move NOW" and overpays.

RA Dickey isn't really injury prone, I don't know where this idea comes from

I looked it up and I don't see anywhere that he's ever really had any injury concerns

He was in the minors for a long time b/c he didn't have the stuff to be a conventional pitcher and spent a few years refining his forkball into a actual knuckleball, which is right around the time we sent him packing, he bounced around with a few teams getting things sorted out and has been solid with the Mets for about 3 years now

He wasn't injury prone, just lack of opportunity

He spent a good chunk of last year pitching through plantar fasciitis.

Pitched through it and won a Cy Young, not exactly the definition of injury prone

I meant in 2011.
