    Not a sexy trade but he's exactly what we need with so much rotation attrition. Probably need another one like him in addition to a better starter.

    Cash considerations? Hopefully?

    He’s averaged less than 5 innings a start. Not exactly an innings eater.

    Adds $24,691.36 to payroll.

    (Bowman's story has that number higher, he says he's making $1,000,000 in 2020 - Cot's has him at $800,000.)

    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?

    For 2 PTBNLs, so nobody on the 60 man.

    For our rotation....that’s a innings eater unfortunately. I bet we add someone like Minor or Musgrove also.

    Assuming we get hamels back, that would be 3 lhp. Surely the remaining target is a rhp, right?

    Probably picking from guys like Riley/Devito/Owens/Estes/Vines/etc..

    If you're adding guys like this, Opener/piggyback situations come into play - and Snitker isn't going to be allowed to manage the pen when the back of the rotation starts...

    Tomlin/Erlin/Milone/Wright/Touki/Wilson/Ynoa go through the order one time and then are taken out - the first time Snitker sends them out to see someone a second time - NO MATTER how much they're "cruising" - he's fired.

    The way this should've been handled for at least the last two weeks.

    Probably marks the end of Dayton's days on the roster - would almost balance-out the money payroll-wise too.

    Actually works out pretty well - Milone would be on regular rest if he starts tomorrow. They're in Buffalo right now, so it should be relatively easy for him to get to Boston to meet the team, get tested, and be ready to go tomorrow night if that's the plan.

    Kind of guy I was expecting. I was not expecting 2 ptbnl. I know he’s super cheap and that is appealing. But is he worth two 0f anything?
