Not really. Gutting the team you're being traded to really isn't that smart of an idea.
That trade on its face was never going to happen. We were a bottom feeder, why would a FA come here if he could go to a contender instead?
"If he doesn't want to play for us, we don't need him".
If you still think this is true you must a be a chimp not a man.
et tu, Obed? 1 game does not a career make. Definitely expected a told-you-so bump to this thread, just not from you
Lannan is awarded -1 WAS (Wins above Strasburg)
I think we're overestimating Strasburg's ability and performance. Frankly, the last 5 or 6 starts, he's been inconsistent at best
...and the shutout innings he threw at the Mets last week...in a start in place of Strasburg? Isn't that +1?
Lannan saw Victorino and had a flashback. I'm guessing it screwed him up for the rest of the game.
Good luck John Lannan, you were never an "ace" but you were certainly a serviceable starter for many years, and for a brief period of time you were are only major league caliber starter.
