Why ugh? Throw him in at Spring Training with no risk, let him sit in Scranton with Prior and Colon as a firewall and if he looks useless cut him. There's no upside with GArcia, obviously, but if you need innings chowed upon, he can do that."There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.

Yeah, I know there's not really anything to lose here, but it's still not an inspiring move. I would have much rather taken a chance on the upside of J. Duchs.Originally posted by Bob Kohm View PostSome people say winning isn't everything. I say those people never won anything.

Hey, Freddy isn't much, but he was the last SP available who had a positive value last year, other than Pettitte and Jamie Moyer. Little upside, but little downside, either, and if he can recapture his results of five-plus years ago, he's a great pickup.Originally posted by Bob Kohm View Post

Maybe he'll even be this year's Carlos Silva (1st half version) until Petitte comes back. I mean, somebody's got to be this year's Carlos Silva. Right? Right???
(Actually, I was surprised they didn't take a chance on the upside of Justin Duchscherer too. But I guess there is something to the speculation that they stay away from players who have suffered from depression or other diagnosed psychological issues, due to the NY media/fan's expectations and behavior.)2021 Auction Anatomy

Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that the Brewers have signed Mark Kotsay to a major league contract.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”Comment

Heh. I love it. Not Lopez per se, but signing him on a minor league contract. Theo Epstein picked up Lopez last September just to get the draft pick if Lopez were to sign a major league deal with anyone. Andrew Friedman just outsmarted the smart boy.Originally posted by Erik View Post

I like this part of it, but Felipe Lopez is the closest thing I know of to pure clubhouse poison. If he's ST cannon fodder, and pushes Rodriguez and Brignac, that's great. If they keep him, I expect they'll really regret it.Originally posted by Don Quixote View PostI'm just here for the baseball.
