Who cares - is Ervin Santana the difference maker? We probably win just as many games with one of our rookies in the rotation.

What pisses me off is not that we're not getting Santana - it's that AA blatantly lied to the fanbase to cover his ass. Good luck selling tickets this year, dumbass!

Are we really going to rip AA for not signing Ervin Santana for 4 years 50ish million and giving up a 2nd round pick on feb 19th when he's done basically nothing else?

 

whooo gives a f***.

He'd certainly be better than nothing.

 

What a joke.

 

Yeah it's not the not getting Santana part that rubs, it's the getting nothing part. It just so happens that at this point it's Santana, Capuano or bust but it didn't have to be that way. It seems like the only pitcher AA was ever in on was Brett Anderson. Everything else was little more than a vague expression of interest, no actual pursuit.

If AA doesn't at least sign Capuano on a one year deal, he's f***ing retarded. Seriously,does he think we can get through the year as is? What a buffoon.

To me it seems like AA had no money to spend.

 

So he tried the trade route but he fell flat. You'd think with him being on the hot seat that he'd have a sense of urgency in improving the team but perhaps the trade route could have partially collapsed on him b/c of what was reported earlier in the offseason about him not having the best relationship with the other GM's of the league.

I think this mrans they are happy with Stroman at the 5th spot and a competition for the 4. I really like Stroman will amaze everyone this season

 

We all know Stroman is a special talent and will impress this spring, but if you think AA and Beeston will allow Stroman a well deserved spot in the rotation and start his MLB clock this year, you are sadly mistaken.

I thought AA had properly brought Santana's agent to despair. What could have possibly went wrong?

 

Playing an agent to despair is no easy task, however he gave it a valiant effort. O's obviously despaired them a little better than we did.

I really hate Stroman in the 5th spot. Happ and his $5.4 million commitment are a virtual lock for the rotation, which means we still have McGowan, Redmond, and Rogers out of options and without rotation spots. If the pen has Janssen, Santos, Cecil, Delabar, and Loup, McGowan, and Rogers, we're looking at DFA'ing Jeffress and L. Perez, which isn't a big deal, but also Todd Redmond.

 

I don't think you DFA what might be a legit back-end starter making the minimum just to get Stroman up a few weeks early. It's poor roster management.

 

Yeah and they are going to need #6 and #7 starters (at least) anyway so Stroman likely still gets his chance while we get to keep a potential serviceable backend guy like Redmond, thus giving us more depth than just starting Stroman in the 5th spot with no Redmond at all.

Ticket prices for the first few games this year are so cheap online. Fans are revolting already.

 

What?

 

Who would sell tix under face value for the home opener weekend against the Yankees in Feb?

Exactly. Realistically, someone probably goes down before May and Stroman misses like 5 starts, at the most before joining the rotation. The difference between Redmond and Stroman over 5 starts is probably 0 wins.

 

Redmond is a useful guy right now; he's better option that Rogers

Also. I have s***** home opener seats if anyone wants to trade for any weekend game for decent seats? God, i hate going to the home opener. So many idiots who don't give a s*** about baseball.

 

This is probably the worst forum to ask. lol.

Check stubhub.

 

Prices for a Saturday game on Opening Weekend vs the Yankees starting at 19 bucks lol. A week ago they were starting at around 30$.

 

No demand, tons of supply.

500's are face value at 14 bucks.

 

Obviously if there's tons of seats still available (which there are for sat and sun) no one is going to buy 30$ 500's. Maybe 19 bucks if there aisle seats in a good row and in a good section.
