Nobody I work with knows I like baseball. If it does come up I pretend I casually watched the playoffs. I hate talking to acquaintances about baseball.
There's no way I'm reading all of that, but the premise seems to be "Drabek sucks. Nathan sucked. Nathan then didn't suck. So maybe Drabek might stop sucking." Is that the gist of it?
Hanigan and Rivera were also the new Molina. Hopefully this one works.
I really don't understand why Houston felt compelled to give him away for cash (or why they couldn't get more).
So no options for Delabar, which means he's tentatively penciled in for a pen spot along with Osuna, Cecil, Sanchez, Loup. Only two spots left as long as everyone is retained.
Yeah. You can see them walking the tightrope this offseason. Doing everything they can to field a winner in 2015 while also stopping the bleeding of youth from the system and avoiding risky long-term deals. I think they've done a nice job. Not even remotely sexy, but they've effectively re-build the rotation on the cheap.
