When did SF resign Timmy last?

Not sure if Big CC was over 30.... But he'll be 36 next offseason when he's a FA again. Lol

Lincicum never has had a 5 year deal.. They signed him to a 2 year deal when he was like 29.

CC was 28.

Turn around? All home teams win this week? Weird how road team won last week

I think so.

Maybe KC can win. No way Denver loses to Pitts JV offense this week. Arizona should roll easy too.

Idk what to think about Carolina/Sqwuaks. Panthers haven't lost at home since November 2014.

Kennedy's numbers are better than Ervin Santana's

 

[MiamiVice]

They'll be fine.

Duffy could be one of the bad deals. I bet he will be.

KC is entering big market territory... their estimated payroll next year opening day is 170 mil with this deal... They can't afford that... There is no way they can.

 

[da55bums]

Kennedy's numbers are better than Mike Leake's

 

[da55bums]

actually surprised after I look at the numbers

 

[broncosmitty]

Lincicum never has had a 5 year deal.. They signed him to a 2 year deal when he was like 29.

CC was 28.

RA Dickey?

Mark Buehrle?

Barry Zito?

These are all guesses.

 

[broncosmitty]

actually surprised after I look at the numbers

I'd take him.

He's talented. And inconsistent. Or else he'd still be a Yankee.

 

[MiamiVice]

Kennedy's numbers are better than Mike Leake's

Mike leake is 3 years younger. A 5 year deal for a 28 yr old vs a 31 is not comparable.

 

[broncosmitty]

Kennedy's numbers are better than Ervin Santana's

Even years or odd years? Lol

 

[MiamiVice]

Zito was under 30... Dickey never went 5 years... buehlre was only 4 years 58 mil

 

[broncosmitty]

Zito was under 30... Dickey never went 5 years... buehlre was only 4 years 58 mil

Jordan Zimmerman isnt 30 yet, is he?

 

[MiamiVice]

I have to respect Dayton Moore for building a WS roster... but this contract makes no sense what so ever based on anything. Who were they bidding against?

 

[MiamiVice]

Jordan Zimmerman isnt 30 yet, is he?

No... He is 29... His stats are JUST a tad bit better than Kennedy's though.

 

[broncosmitty]

No... He is 29... His stats are JUST a tad bit better than Kennedy's though.

Not much really. Less of a power pitcher than Kennedy.

If we'd signed both and got rid of Snachez I woulda been happy.

14mil a year isn't a big deal. Especially when shitdicks like Pelfry are getting 8.

I honestly like the signing for KC tbh.

 

[MiamiVice]

Kennedy is actually older than Scott Kazmir... and Kazmir has been way better the last 3 years... and he only got 3 years and 48 mil... giving him 5 years makes no sense. None what so ever. The only thing I can think of is the other pitchers didn't want to go to KC so they had to over pay.

Sanchez when healthy is light years better than Kennedy. The only reason I would agree is the injury risk.. but remember that Sanchez deal is up after 2017.

 

[MiamiVice]

LOL.. Pelfrey and Kennedy has similiar years last year outside of the fact Kennedy gave up 3 times the amount of HR.

 

[MiamiVice]

You are probably the only person that is going to say they like the deal... Seriously... it could be bad this year.. but do you have any idea how shitty Kennedy is going to be after year 3 when he 34+ and losing velocity? The length of the deal is the issue.. not the 14 mil they are paying him this year.

 

[MiamiVice]

Kennedy isn't good in his prime.. just imagine what he is going to look like when he can't throw 90 mph fastballs anymore.
