Marco Estrada appreciation thread

[KingKat]

O.K. It's really silly to have so many of these but I really do appreciate Estrada. The kind of pitcher's pitcher that the team hasn't had since the days of Jimmy Key. Pitched the only complete game of the entire staff (sadly in the game 1 loss to Cleveland).

Estrada is a boss.

 

Is it too early to talk about extending him? He's a free agent after 2017

I can't imagine anyone not liking this guy.

I know he's on the wrong side of 30 and has a herniated disc but I can get behind extending Estrada long term.

Love marco. No one more fun to watch pitch on this team when he is on his game.

Yeah why not? I don't anticipate him falling off a cliff. He showed that the concerns about him having a big regression in 2016 were overblown. I think we pretty much know what he is at this point and I can't see why the team would feel comfortable extending the commitment.

Tacking on a guaranteed year in 2018 + a 2019 option would be alright for me. 13 and 13 with a buyout? Hard to see him falling off a cliff given that he doesn't rely on a fastball and has that crazy changeup.

Weren't you on the fence about even giving a QO last offseason?

 

 

 

 

I was too.... man so happy I was wrong and he was kept. Dude is a lot of fun to watch. Hope his back doesn't bug him next season.

I was vehemenly against it until like August, and then on the fence. Now I love him.

Dude is my favourite interview guy lmao he's so cheerful and laid back

[burlingtonbandit]

Should have offered him 3 years last offseason! He probably would have taken the extra year at only 7 or 8 more million.
