Chien-Ming Wang

[magits]

Sign this man immediately and stick him in the rotation:

 

"Six teams have shown in right-hander Chien-Ming Wang, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe (on Twitter). However, at this point the right-hander is unlikely to opt out of his minor league deal with the Yankees because none of the six suitors are willing to offer him a Major League contract."

 

"The Taiwanese right-hander has a clause in his contract that allows him to opt out today if he wishes, but it was reported earlier in the week that the only way he would do that would be for a Major League roster spot on another team. In 51 innings for the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate, Wang has posted a 2.65 ERA with 4.1 K/9 and 1.6 BB/9. The consensus from scouts, however, has been that his stuff doesn't look nearly as good as it did during his peak years with the Yankees"

Like people on here say: "He can't be any worse than xxxx."

Sorry to burst your bubble, but scouting reports in the minors have been negative on Chien-Ming Wang, saying he doesn't deserve a shot in the rotation--he'd be worse than Chad Jenkins. In addition, he has decided not to opt out yet.

After being outed as a POS troll with multiple accounts that argued with himself, why do you still post here?

Might as well. We will never have the same 5 pitchers in the rotation for the whole season, so we need the depth, and he at least has a track record of success.

It's now reported that he's staying with the Yankees minor league team. There were 6 teams interested, but none were willing to give him a big league roster spot yet.

Seriously?

 

Absolutely nothing bad could come from giving a guy like Wang another chance. If he blows up, he blows up. At least he can throw more than 3 innings.

I see no reason why we shouldn't be at LEAST taking shots on guys who have actually had success at the big league level rather than people named Thad.

My god.... this many responses and NOBODY is clambering for a rotation of Dickey, Johnson, and Wang?

This is not the giants message board.
