Whisox05 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Not sure they are signing him to just flip. Seem like they might be over that unless they totally suck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Awesome, I wanted them to improve the bullpen going into this season. Colome and now Herrera with guys like Jones, Fry, Hamilton and Vieira, the bullpen might be the team’s biggest strength. I expect that this takes them out of the Ottavino race but I still would like for them to sign another guy with high leverage experience like Brad Boxberger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Meh. So far, all we've done this off-season is acquire scrubs. Colome, Nova, Herrera, McCann, Alonso. And frankly, the bullpen is the last piece a team should build. With a few exceptions, nobodies turn into studs and back into nobodies before you can even learn their names. Think Politte, Hermanson, and Cotts of oh so many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing a legit reliever while his value is down to a 2 year deal looks like a rebound and flip deal. This is still the beginning of a major rebuild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And McCann is just a backup catcher who doesn't have that much influence on the season. And Alonso is being used as a pawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely have the option to flip him if he's doing great (should always be willing to listen on relievers) but he may be part of the team for a competitive year or two if a lot goes right.
