5th starter/stopgap starter idea

Featured Replies

Many of you may kill me for this, but I would love to have someone like Shawn Estes on this team right now

 

He is 8-3 this year despite playing in Colorado and would be a perfect 5th starter this year for us

 

If we get a stud, then we put Scho in the BP

 

That way we get Stud, Buerhle, Elo, Garland, Estes as the 5 starters for the remainder of the year

 

And we send Cotts down and let Scho be the other left hander next to Marte for the BP

 

Marte, Shingo and Scho would make this a 3 deep BP

how much do u think we could get estes for? is it possible that a deal with him could even be worked out?

Estes is only paid $600K this year....really cheap

 

Give the Rockies some draft pick or some A prospect

So you prefer rauch, diaz, wright, cotts to estes?

 

If we do get more good pitching we can always send him down....his salary is really low, why not take a chance while we continue to bleed thanks to no 5th starter

 

Not like we have to give up anything to get him

HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN SAID EXPLAINED AND RESAID THAT YOU CAN'T TRADE DRAFT PICKS IN BASEBALL :bang :banghead

Yes aim higher....of course, but until Seattle is ready to deal Garcia, what is wrong in getting a 5th starter to stop losing these games

 

See what happens tomorrow when Rauch gets rocked again....if Kenny had gotten Estes in the off season, I bet we would be at least 3games above Minny right now

how does someone that is 8 - 3 crap?

Records mean s*** His ERA AND WHIP SUCKS. I'LL PASS

whats his ERA?

5.30 ERA

 

1.57 WHIP.

 

 

NO THANKS

5.30 ERA

 

1.57 WHIP.

 

 

NO THANKS

I agree with you he is a total piece of s***. :puke

after seein that, yup.. no thanks

Make your pick:

 

Pitcher A 8-3 5.30 ERA 1.57 WHIP

 

Pitcher B 4-6 3.24 ERA 1.23 WHIP

 

Pitcher C 7-4 4.80 ERA 1.56 WHIP

Make your pick:

 

Pitcher A  8-3 5.30 ERA  1.57 WHIP

 

Pitcher B  4-6 3.24 ERA  1.23 WHIP

 

Pitcher C  7-4 4.80 ERA  1.56 WHIP

My choice would be not a or c. :P

My point, you can't judge by a pitchers record

Exactly if they keep you in the game that is all that matters.

Another small Example 1992

 

Jack Morris 21-6 4.04 ERA 5.5 Run Support

 

Jim Abbott 7-15 2.72 ERA 2.2 Run Support

 

Who was the Better Pitcher?

Morris was good but not nearly as good as abbott.

YES

 

Estes is awful. He can stay in Colorado for all I care.

 

Million dollar arm. 1 dollar brain.
