Nice DP on 3 parts, including Dunn.

Great DP.

Well he is generating ground outs.

I pretty much think everything said in this post is a bad idea.

 

Hahahaha well I think trading Floyd away saves money which can be used to somehow extend Danks. Otherwise I am not quite sure how bad of an idea this is, would like to hear ur thoughts.

Dunn is about to cost this kid a win with his stone hands.

 

Look at it as more nails in the coffins of present management

I think it's pretty clear at this point that extending D1 is impossible, unless we want to pay him into the $100 million range. Once you realize that, it forces some of your decisions. Peavy, Sale, Humber, and Floyd are the starting points, then you have Stewart now as an option and Buehrle if you have the money to bring him back, and any P you get back by trading Danks or Quentin.

Why is Danks gonna get that much money. He hasn't been that type of money... he's good no doubt but not a type of pitcher that gets 15 million or something.

Why not?

Why not?

 

He's not an elite type of pitcher, Era is around 3.7. When Buerhle and Peavy got those type of contracts they were a class beyond Danks.

Buehrle? Really, no. That's just about where Buehrle was.

Nice first start for Stewart!

Great outing kiddo.

 

Good choice ozzie making sure he doesn't get the chance to lose it in the 7th.

Really nice game, gutsy went right after them. Now pen let's get some f***ing outs

Nicely done Sale as well.

Chris sale showing a lot of confidence lately

When he has his release point (and therefore his control)...he's just better than whoever he's facing.

Buehrle? Really, no. That's just about where Buehrle was.

 

Well Buerhle had a hell of a 2005, 3X allstar and a World Series Ring under his belt when he signed the extension. Danks has nothing, just a career under .500 pitcher (yea I know bad 1st year, but still). I just don't see how Danks would earn Buerhle type of money.

Whoa Rios going opposite field

Take a look at John Lackey's contract. 5 years, $82 mil. He had a career ERA of 3.80, pitching in a better pitchers park than Chicago (Anaheim), he's a righty while Danks is a lefty, and Danks is going to hit free agency 3 years younger than Lackey.

Whoa Rios going opposite field

3 hits for him today? He's gonna have to party tonight

Beckham hit that ball very hard, just didn't get elevation.

Even though the bullpen will likely lose this game Stewart looked awesome.

Good thing we traded for that righty reliever to face the other team's best righty hitter.

Great job throwing Cuddyer a first pitch meatball.
