No major league team is going to trade a good SP and a good RP pitcher for a 45 year old Cuban pitcher with poor accuracy and an $8.5 Mil contract.
Plus, why would you want to break up a starting rotation that currently has an ERA hovering around 3.00? I say we keep this 25 and 9 team together.
No doubt about it, you have a good point about breaking the rotation up but am I the only one who is scared when its Counts time to pitch?
Not only that but the way he and Duke have been throwing, given our situation with Takastu and Vizcaino our bullpen is going to get tired real fast if we have to use Hermy, Marte, and Pollitte all the time back to back with Duke and Count. We can't trust Cotts in close games and Takastu and Viz are terrible. Do you think acquiring a closer and an extra RP if needed would be all we need?
