We should be getting 2 high end players regardless. May be we can't go over slot with both picks, but we should still be getting 2 pretty good...

Carp replied to a thread Which pitchers do you see in the rotation long term? in The 2019 Chronicles: The Free Men of the Golden Wren Era Take the Neck's Step.

May be not this year, though you could always have him skip starts when we have days off to help lessen the load. But over the long term, he should...

Carp replied to a thread AA's Failure in The 2019 Chronicles: The Free Men of the Golden Wren Era Take the Neck's Step.

Soroka, Folty, Fried are main stays providing health, imo. Gaus is for now, but he'll be gone after the 2020 season. Julion is likely gone after...

Carp replied to a thread GDT 4/16; On the Menu: CAJUN FRIED SNAKEMEAT. in The 2019 Chronicles: The Free Men of the Golden Wren Era Take the Neck's Step.

Carp replied to a thread GDT 4/16; On the Menu: CAJUN FRIED SNAKEMEAT. in The 2019 Chronicles: The Free Men of the Golden Wren Era Take the Neck's Step.

You are correct in that we currently have better options, but I think it's fair to say Newk improved from 2017 to 2018. He's been bad so far in...

When there are clearly available options on the FA market, it doesn't make much sense imo. CK, Bud Norris, and Ryan Madson all remain unsigned and...
