Romeo ... the problem with both you and JTA is that you aren't ever brave enough to make a call.
I'll put my calls up against anyone ... going back to the old board.

You want the list?

Detwiler was getting SP pay but never pitched in that role under that contract. He had spare written all over him when he was still at WAS.

Don't hurt yourself patting yourself on the back

I was wrong on Detwiler and Cruz, but I'm not wrong often

Good one, and I'm out for the evening, y'all have fun with WMW tonight fellahs, someone obviously pissed in his Cheerios today
Meh, it's not that hard to ignore anyone. Just have to be willing to let someone have the last word if you choose to stick around.

I was very wrong on Cruz too.

This game started late, but might be over early.

$3 mil is hardly SP pay. I could see your point if he were getting 6+, but he wasn't.

He was Arbitration 3 this off season after move to TEX ... after being only an RP since 2012. TEX is paying him only $500k less than Colby. You compare Colby at $4mil and Detwiler at $3.45mil. Not even close.

Detwiler comes from a long line of spare NL pitchers TEX has brought on ... a line broken by Gallardo (and an extent Wandy) ... but I have no faith in spares from the NL who couldn't hack it there. Especially from the Cubs.

Colby is in a unique position due to his health issues. Not an apples to oranges comparison. Definitely don't need more Cubs pitchers though.
