Should have had both. Hamels wasn't that expensive. Especially for one year.Still pissed about Hamels
I don't know much about the Mets ownership, but is it that bad? It seems like they had a good run there a few years back and if the injury bug wouldn't have hit their pitching staff, they'd have been even better.
Wheeler turned down a larger offer from the Chicago White Sox that was in excess of $120 million, sources told Passan. - Per ESPN
They were good owners at one point IMO, but allegedly lost a lot of money with Bernie Madoff and have been unable to compete financially since.
Agree with this. Pitchers like him typically don't have long careers to begin with and they have a bunch of holes to fill. Might as well trade him as his value isn't going to get any higher. Love him as a player but I think this is the direction they should go.
Yes.
I know a guy that might like to read it. Can you email link to cbeltran@cctvpartsdirect.com?
If Hader can't add a 3rd pitch he's gone. Guys are just sitting on his fastball and it will only get worse. Would love to see Castellanos and Donaldson in a Brewer uniform next year
Sure, but they sat on fastball all season and he blew it by them by picking his spot on the corners. Wasn't there a stretch where he threw something like 30-some fastballs in a row and no one got a hit? That's impressive. Usually guys have heat or pinpoint accuracy. Rare for them to have both.
Figures it finally happens for the first time in history when I make a big deal out of it.TheIronSheik said:
with hader, i don’t think it’s the speed, it’s the deception that seems to have worn off IMO. guys at this level can hit straight hard stuff they can see. hader, from the hitters eye, must not allow them to pick the ball up. but if you watch enough film and study, you can catch where he comes from. hader reminds me a bit of a harder throwing sid fernandez. sid Kd guys like crazy with a fastball and slurve, but threw maybe 89? i think cause he was so fat, guys couldn’t see the ball until it was on top of them.TheIronSheik said:
if the mets retained wheeler, would it have been the first time a guy played for someone he was traded for (beltran)?Figures it finally happens for the first time in history when I make a big deal out of it.
Glad it did though!
Yeah, that's why it was so funny. EZ literally just said that no one would turn down more money to make his wife happy, referring to Cole. Than Wheeler signed with Philly even though CWS offered more money because she wanted to be closer to home.At Wheeler excuse... unless I'm wrong his wife is from a part of NJ thats way closer to NY than Philly
EDIT: DOH - he turned down White Sox not Mets - CARRY ON
Wheeler was the first person to ever turn down more money and his wife is the first person to ever want to live closer to New Jersey.Yeah, that's why it was so funny.

It's that old axiom that as soon as you state something definitively on the internet, a situation will occur to prove you completely wrong within 24 hours.
I was doing all kinds of Google searches and getting nothing back. I thought maybe my internet was slow or something.

I see that the Yanks are putting all of their efforts into Cole. I think this deal will get done soon and you're "call" on his contract could look brilliant.

A little disorienting to actually see the Reds active in FA, but I'm glad they finally shot the lock off Castellini's wallet.
Coming in to Hot Stove, i thought MadBum was a Natural for the Bravos. Close to home, anchor for a young staff. Don't the Braves have FA budget anymore?
They've pretty much signed half of the FA's that have signed so far. They are very active.
Prospects usually do but for Edwards to reach that ceiling he'll have to develop some power and prove he can handle SS defensively. He's young and has an excellent hit tool so that may happen but the Padres have seem him and evidently prefer some of their other MI prospects.
DFW is perfect for him. He can join Zeke E for a banquet of meaningless yards & innings
