Not to mention that with Jason "6 ERA" Schmidt we'd be right back to the ole automatic loss every 5 days. In fact the only way I can imagine us totally missing the playoffs is if that wash up joined the team.

 

If your going to give up top prospects at least get us someone with a decent ERA who isn't completely blowing it this year...

You're comparing Schmidt to the revolving door of last year and saying he's already washed up? I'm not that into him but I still don't think that's a fair argument.

C'mon, don't you get the point either? Look at our club. If we make the postseason, what do we need to get to and win the World Series?

 

It should be obvious. A reliable 4th starter ought to be priority #1. The best one we can get (depending on the price).

 

This would be my current priority list:

 

1. Jason Schmidt (in part b/c I'd like to swap SS too).

2. AJ Burnett (if Miami will take Contreras as part of deal).

3. Jamie Moyer

4. Roger Clemens (would be #1, but it's not going to happen).

Miami????? Taking Contreras?????

Miami????? Taking Contreras?????

 

I wouldn't have thought so either, until I read the article suggesting they would turn around and trade for Jason Schmidt once Burnett was gone. Of course that is likely even more far-fetched.
