This is the second time (at least) that I've seen you reference his declining k rate as a reason against signing him. I'm actually a little surprised that you care how a guy is getting outs as long as he is getting them. I still see a very effective pitcher (not saying you've said anything to the contrary). Could be a change in philosophy for him, could be a few things. But as long as the ball isn't getting hit hard(er) off of him, and he's still got good WHIP and other peripheral numbers, the ONLY risk in signing him IMO is what you think of the durability of his arm. As we say, they all break. And they all get older. So signing any pitcher is going to carry some risk. Not telling you anything you don't already know. Shoot, I'd see if he'd go for 4/150 and bet on himself to get another 9 figure deal after that. I'd bet the farm he would get it unless he gets injured. IMO, after watching the Snell debacle, anything is possible in the SP contract landscape moving forward, and I have to think we have the inside track with Burnes if only because we're the team watching him up-close and personally this year and know his health status better than anyone. -

After reading your comments, I googled Lopez’s career stats. His stats are worse than I thought. Had to rethink my assessment -

Or he could try to acquire a reliever that actually helps us win a WS? -

Civale for me is an "un-Ray". The McClanahan-Springs-Rasmussen injury stack around this time last year forced them to acquire a conventional innings-eating pitcher. -

But what was your EV. You must have been an early bloomer. Peaked too early like my dad. Listening to stories from my dad, he was the equal of Ted Williams at age 12. -

That is why Elias should be on the phone with Jorge Lopez . I rather have him than Vieira .
