Cashner signing

[HokieOs]

Decent signing and not a particularly high risk one. If he goes all Ubaldo, we can cut bait without too much regret. But he has the potential to be a legitimate mid-rotation guy. Given that we have exactly two guys who have proven anything returning next year in the rotation, it's good to have a third guy. I'd love to sign one more SP in the next couple weeks. And this contract allows us to do so.

 Cashner might not be an ace but he’s far from Miley and Ubaldo. We just need Cashner to give us 175IP at a sub 4.50 era and it will be worth it. 

I’ll take the under on innings and the over on ERA.

I also think Miley outperforms him because Miley returns to being something in the neighborhood of average.

Kind of wild that a starter that had a 4.6 WAR last season gets $16M and Tommy Hunter, 93 IP over the last two seasons, gets  $18M.

I like Hunter too.

Being a GM requires alot of business/management type skills that i have no clue if Brady has. Duquette is probably a much better GM. 

Brady would be Syd Thrift, 2.0

Wouldn't Flanny be a better comp?

Aint going to happen. Frobby says you cant say never, but to this, I say, never going to happen.

I agree, you all thinking we signing any of these type of pithers are dreaming. Tillman the 4 and Jose mesa will be the 5 is more believable. No way duquette signs Lynn or Cobb. I am amazed you all would even think that had a chance of happening

Possibly, I just think Brady would be hideous at the details. DD is very good at that.

Brady would need someone to run the day to day operations like Jim Duquette did for Flanagan.  And it won't work this time either.

On a completely side note. Why didn't Angelos set up a trust to leave the Team to whoever he deemed fit to run them?

When ABC has a 1-2-3 inning, I think there's a Jackson 5 song they could play on the PA.

I hope he has some.

That would be pretty cool. Good work.

I do think they sign one more free agent pitcher. Who will it be? Tillman? Vargas? I think it is unlikely that they get Lynn, but I know I've read they've been in contact with him this winter, so I'm not ready to say it's impossible. 

Is there any chance of trying to sign RA Dickey, or is he retiring? He might be a decent fit.

I think if they were going to sign Tillman, it'd have already happened.  They have more info on him than anyone else and the fact they haven't moved to sign him tells me he hasn't gotten his arm slot or release point back.

You might be right. But there aren't a lot of options for the salary they would be willing to offer.

I think he wants a ML deal and no one is willing to give him one.
