Thank f*** we didn't trade for him (even though it sure seemed like a good idea a year ago)

This was the guy Jays fans wanted in addition to Dickey.

INSTEAD of Dickey

It's almost like human joints weren't designed for the repetitive stress involved with throwing a baseball.

Sounds like something NJH would have said. I, for one, never wanted Niese.

LOL exactly. It's so un natural it's ridiculous.

There were quite a few in favour

he's a value now...would only cost AA one of the top arms.

I was in favor of getting Niese... sad to read this though

at least you got integrity to admit you were in favor of it.

[GD]

I saw the appeal in Niese, but didn't really want him. Still, hope he's okay.

[G-Snarls]

"Long live the arm."

 

That's twisted yo

[Muck Bartinez]

Dialogue! Buy Low! Weighted Balls! Value!

[Sammy225]

I was intrigued by Niese, doesn't sound good now.

 

I would not jump to any conclusions until we get some results from MRI and such but your right it is not a good situation. He was a solid pitcher on a team friendly contract. I guess some things are too good to be true.

The dude was a really good pitcher with exciting projections. There shouldn't be people who wouldn't be admitting to wanting him, it's not like his performance went south or something, his arm blew

[jaysblue]

Good thing I traded him in my 30 team dynasty league.

 

I hope he's alright though - I've always liked him.

[jaysfan2014]

He complained of discomfort in his left triceps. This seems very similar to Johan Santana's injury.. and we all know what happened to him.

[Laika]

He's probably terminal, but "dead arm" isn't necessarily a kiss of death.

 

I don't think anybody ever wanted Niese over Dickey if the cost was similar, but I think some people believed that Niese would be a better target since he'd cost much less.

 

One thing that did happen was Mets fans would crawl over to the board and inform all of us that our stupid JPA centred packages would never land Dickey, it would take d'Arnaud+ easily, and our stupid trade proposals probably wouldn't even be enough to land Niese.

Daisuke came back from dead arm quite well...

[G-Snarls]

Good news for Niese and Mets
