Squirmin' for Yermin

i THINK I would rather have Joc on a 2 year deal or something than Brantley on 1. Honestly his defenses scares the bajesus out of me.. I'd hate to have another bad OF in the corner.

I'm not sure you sign a single guy to one of those contracts honestly..... Literally.. Also, why only short term deals?

100% agree he is always hurt. My goal would be to get 20-25 starts out of him. If you take this year out (short weird year), his career FIP is in the low 3.00s.. I would certainly take a gamble on that, even if he regresses to the upper 3's, there's still value there and he'd without a doubt be one of our top 3 (maybe 2 if healthy).

I kind of want to get Paxton IF we cannot get Bauer... The highest ceiling in the FA class outside Bauer and is a lefty.

Wheeler is and was far more projectible.. They will not be close. Stroman will be half.. I predict 3/50-60

Yeah absolutely not. I wouldn't trade any of those first 3 straight up.

It does when you make it APPEAR the only two options were Hinch and an old outdated horrible option.. People will be fine with Hunch then.

It's insanely unreasonable when you look at their careers instead of a 60 game season. It's laughable. 4 years of control for a pitcher who had one great year for 8 years of control of a (most league agrees) soon to be top bat

Any expectations when they'll announce anything?

Eloy for Burnes? What is this board coming to....

Did you hit your head on a tree branch last night?

It's all smoke to let us forget about Hinch's past. Or at least, accept it.

To make it APPEAR he was their first choice while Hinch was their second choice but Larussa maintained he wanted to remain retired. So they had to go with their "backup plan", Hinch. Makes it look like the "cheater" wasn't their first choice

When do teams NOT give permission? Rare if ever.. no news here.

Is Cash's contract up or something?

You don't need to make a smokescreen for Larussa though.. No one cares if we sign him lol

This is absolutely what it is.

And Gio Gonzalez...

Yeah, the burner account is dumb.. Trevor is funny lol

called ittttt. Big Kelley fan here.

There's no way. They wanna "say" they wanted someone else but he chose to stay retired. Thus making Hinch APPEAR to be their backup choice.

Absolutely they will try.. 8 years for 45 million? Far higher than Evan White 6/24 (I believe) and justifiably so.

Wow,.... That would be the dumbest thing ever..

I'd flipping loooove Springer.

Bochy is outdated.
