Yeah, lets all pretend that teams are breaking down the door for the 0-8 pitcher.

 

I think he still has some value, but he has been a huge disappointment this season. I'm just relieved we didn't give him some 4 year, 68 mil extension or anything like that.

Maybe Morel wil play tomorrow; DM 0 for 3.

Anyone remember why Cincy let Hamilton go? Can't remember the details.

Pretty sure they were just trying to sell high on him...he went from a complete bust to a very good player, but I don't think they trusted that his success would last.

If you watch any games at all you should already know!

I follow on gameday on my iPod and spend time with you all, I get my info here and on my other board, I'm kinda a slave for work so not much time to read up

Man that would have been a huge discount

You guys are really busting out the pessimism tonight!

You think 17 mil is a discount, or is it the years?

With regards to being happy that we didn't give Danks ace money? I fully expected the Sox to lose tonight, as Ogando's a tough match-up for a righty heavy team. Have you seen his numbers against righties this season?

The years.

 

Before this bust, he was looking like a 7/110 or more pitcher.

He will be 0-7 don't jinx JD.

The years.

Do you see JR giving that long of a contract to a pitcher?

The Cubs actually owned Hamilton for a couple of minutes. They selected him in the rule 5 and sold him to Cincinatti.

Let's not overreact here...he definitely has had a bit of a down year, but he's a 26 year old lefty with 46 wins under his belt and a career ERA around 4 pitching in a bandbox...to say that his value is seriously compromised based on his W-L record this year or a few rough outings seems to be a bit ridiculous to me.

I thought I said in an earlier post that I didn't think his value was too diminished for other teams right now. For the Sox, I absolutely cannot see how they can afford him.

This bust? Put down the whiskey, Balta.

Depends on what you mean by seriously compromised. You've got to admit that his desirability has dropped substantially.

After watching Dunn and Rios perform, I doubt JR is going to give out big money for a lot of years to someone he isn't very familiar with.

wow

This bust? Put down the whiskey, Balta.

Yeah, that was too harsh, but he's costing himself some serious money right now.

AR DP ratio is horrid f***.

Oh ok, I missed that. Sorry.

 

Honestly, I think it's time to move him...this is the price we're ultimately going to pay for trading for Jake and bringing in Rios...and so be it.

 

I think we can still get some nice pieces for him, especially if we move him at the deadline to NYY or Boston.

Offense needs to show up this road trip, or the season could be over. We face a lot of powerful offenses, and we're going to have to score more than a few runs to win most of the games.

The pitches that Hamilton and Cruz have hit, were absolute meatballs, AWFUL pitches.

Hawk is all over Viciedo's nuts. Good to hear! Danks ERA about to blow up here.
