It sucks to cost Sanchez a chance at the Cy. The kid is a beast. I just don't get this inning saving BS. He isn't Strasburg coming back from injury. This is a terrible management decision in my opinion. He's earned the right to stay in the rotation. Why not limit Stroman?
This thread went from people freaking out about SRF to us pillaging the Pirates. With Russell and Liriano having worked together, I can't wait to see him work.
One thing that pisses me off is that it likely costs Sanchez a real shot at a Cy Young.
Did he Homer today? If not, DFA... Is that how this works?
Last year was Ben Revere.
This year it's Mup Jr. This is better.
Now get someone better than tulo and price and we are in it to win it.
Stroman or Sanchez are those pieces, potentially. It obvious takes more but running Sale out there every 5 days is akin to running Kershaw out there every 5. It would be awesome.
If the talk is true, and he is available, do we have enough to outbid say a Texas or Houston. Would Stroman, Guerrero and some other pieces be enough? You have to kick tires on him if you are Shapkins don't you?
