July 12, 20178 yr Dann it! Lol. I'm going to the game on Friday, my last of the season, and the other one I went to Holland started (lost 10-4). Was really hoping for Q to be friday, but I guess I'll have to live with Jimmy Shields. I guess they really are trying to not have Q pitch the 31st or 30th...are they close to making a deal???

Was really hoping for A to be friday, but I guess I'll have to live with Jimmy Shields. I guess they really are trying to not have Q pitch the 31st or 30th...are they close to making a deal??? It also buys them some more time to trade him before he could hurt himself or his stock, although performance-wise, unless he was just Jon Lester Sunday bad, I don't think a bad start does anything to his value. And I don't think pitching a perfect game makes every prospect available. His track record speaks for itself.
July 12, 20178 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 04:57 PM) All three of are top trade candidates. True, but maybe it just gives Q a little more rest and keeps the others on a more consistent regimen

July 12, 20178 yr Author To further the discussion, who do we think will be the starting 5 once Q and Holland are moved? I assume Shields, Gonzo and Pelfrey are staying put. Rodon, Shields, Gonzo, Pelfrey and Covey? With Lopez waiting in the wings if they find any takers on Gonzo, Shields, or Pelfrey in August.
July 12, 20178 yr I don't think it's much of a big deal, but maybe they have him on Sunday to keep him in the line another team would want.

July 12, 20178 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 09:41 PM) Yes. It is. And they should all be gone soon Holland, Shields and Pelfrey for sure and reliever D Rob
