They're all worthless and need to be cut. ALL of them. Not ONE guy in that clubhouse would agree with you on Jake. Again, I don't GAS what the guys in the clubhouse think. They're not even smart enough to avoid breaking their rib by jerking off too hard. |

We want a top end starter. We need a quality innings eater with multiple years of control. We need a guy who can pitch scoreless innings while he is eating them. Isn't that a contradiction of that term? Innings eaters are those (at least IMO) medicocre pitchers who typically give up 3 or 4 runs in 6 or 7 innings, and you just hope you can muster enough offense to win. |

Regarding Oakland, I'm not going to worry about that team until they actually get their winning % above .600
Until then they are still mediocre

So let's see how badly we need another SP for the regular season: Assuming we continue to win games at the same rate we do now with Cole-Verlander-Miley (.683) we should win 26 more of their starts. Assuming we only win as many as games as Baltimore with our other 2 spots (.305) we should win 7 of those remaining starts. Those 33 total wins would put as at 94 for the season, not counting tonight's game. So potentially we're looking at a 95-67 if things remain the exactly the same. Do we think Oakland can win more than 95 games? They'd have to win 40 of their last 65 games for a .615 winning percentage. There are only 4 teams in the league currently over .600. So since this post, we won 5 in a row including both of the 4-5 spots in the rotation, and gained two games back from Oakland. If we hold true to the original winning percentages still, we would assume that we would only win 5 more of the 4-5 spots. Oakland now has to go 38-24 in their remaining 62 games in order to win 95 games (.613 winning percentage from here on out when right now they've been managing .570). We just have to go 31-30 to reach that mark. This is a big series right now. |

This is a big series right now. Was thinking the same thing. This pretty much is their post season as far as they are concerned. IN the ALC they may be anywhere between 3 1/2 - 9 1/2 back of us, or could be anywhere from snatching WC 1 spot, to 2 back looking in. |

Luhnow will not make the first move/trade...he probably is waiting for some of the competing suitors to make trades, so they will not be in competition when he makes his move. I am just hoping the one he has circled as the one to get is still available after the first couple of trades |

I am just hoping the one he has circled as the one to get is still available after the first couple of trades That is exactly what bothers me about Luhnow.....He waits until other teams trade for what we need and then says he did all he could but things didn't work out. Sitting on his ass won't get a deal done. |

Sitting on his ass won't get a deal done. Quite honestly... this season I think it's smart to wait and see what the competition does so you can combat it. If nobody loads up then why even think about overspending. |

Even your debating self will agree I don't think their any worse than the Rays or Twins, honestly. Both of those teams are coming back down to Earth. The Yankees, yeah they're a higher level. |

Soooooo, I guess Luhnow did something He dun it 4 sho. He had a great week.....he got rid of White's fat ass, an automatic out we had for a backup catcher, and a leg humper. Then, he adds future HOF pitcher to our rotation and keeps our top two prospects......he acquires two other pitchere who can help us and only gives up a blocked OF in Fisher to get them. Getting Maldonado as a backup for Chirinos is a plus for us. |

If Greinke gets his salad tossed by NY in the postseason you'll start bitching about how Luhnow should never have let Morton go and that Greinke is a dumbass with psychiatric issues. |
