Go out and get Will Smith and one of Greene or Hand and we are gonna be tough.
Could be good or he could be another backend pitcher. If he’s better than Faulty and Julio this is a good signing.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
I am not going to knock you man but he pretty much said he would be shocked if it was more than a “rest of year” deal. Maybe an option but probably around 10+. Not that is not a thin branch to go out on. But he nailed it and you look silly trying to mock him. Save your bullets man.
Coppy
I really needed some good news tonight. I just knew when it went across the ticker on MLB Network it was going to say he signed with the NYY.

If Gausman goes to the pen I'd hope he'd enjoy the challenge of being our closer. He could add velocity on his fastball and his splitter with that could make for a solid closer.

Do you understand what a plus sign is? That's the "+" symbol in his original post. You know, the one he said the contract would likely be for $10+ million... see, there's that darned sign.
Also, if you're talking about the difference between $10 and $13 million, you may want to revisit that 30% number with some simple math.

I’m also not even sure how clvderp is trying to mock me in his sig anymore...
Anyone care to explain?
Seeing some of the posts on this board has cured my depression. Aside from how hilarious they are, knowing that there are people out there who suck worse than I do is really a magical thing. For that, I thank each and every one of you.
Anyways...back to the adult conversation.
The length of his AAA start will likely dictate when he is MLB ready.
Typical ST starts go 2, 3, 4, 5 innings, then a short tune up start before opening day.
I’m guessing he makes a 3-4 inning start, then 1-2 more, then off to Atlanta. That should be around the last week of June?

This Keuchel signing will put the #Braves payroll at about $136M. Should have enough to trade for at least one prominent reliever before the trade deadline.
