So many whiners in here, lol.
Read the Cameron article. TINSTAAPP, for real. Spin rate down. Velocity down. Curveball spin rate down. Never had the insane K numbers since A ball. Giolito comes with a bit too much concern here to feel comfortable. Lopez was the big loss in my eyes because his ceiling could have been legit number 1 with a floor being a big league closer.
Nats get a really good, cost controlled piece for 5 years, giving them some wiggle room in 2018 when Harper leaves. I think this is a good deal. As much as I hope there is news that Chapman or Jansen is coming here, I realize that Colome is much more likely. I alos love the idea of spending money on Holland and someone like Uehara as well.
