Ok, I had a little more time to dig into McCann so here are my thoughts.
Unlike Frazier, McCann actually is a very good candidate to have a bounce back year. Last year, he went on the IL with a hamate injury (traditionally saps power for a bit, even after return) and then was back on the IL with an oblique injury (which we all know is a bad injury for hitters and pitchers).
Now, he was off to a real bad start offensively prior to the injuries, but really, last year was a lost year for
I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?
I really like Kremer. Seems like a good guy and a solid arm.
But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship.
The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak. I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.
What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes. And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all.
Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year? Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now.
So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year. This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.
Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA.
I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
Maybe because you have actually nothing of importance to talk about from your life and all you have is to pathetically be on this board 24/7 and criticize others for things that you don't have or could never do.
Here is my advice.
I told you before. Stop talking about me or to me. I don't talk to you. Just ignore me. Why do you even care?
I don't care about you.
At all.
And...
GET A LIFE.
