It's a serious operation but it's so routine now. And also if they haven't had one yet it's ALSO concerning (see chris sale) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Wheeler had TJ 3 years ago. Not that two are impossible but isn't it less likely? @ptatc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtrams42 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Obviously the 31yr old with a proven history of pitching good/great seasons. Plus postseason experience is just a plus. If your going to throw $20+ million dollars at a pitcher you might as well go after the whales instead of settling for a guy that may not have hit his potential. Doing that more times than not bites you back big time. Wheeler is not worth 20+ a season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 5 hours ago, Sleepy Harold said: I'm pretty sure it was only Greg who thought that. It was only me cause I thought he resembled Manny Sanguillen and Carlton Fisk in terms of height. I think Timmy's BA at that time wasn't near what it was last year and I said his stats would be excellent for a catcher. People were furious and it might have been why I got suspended 6 months. I forget but it mita been the Tim thing as people thought I was trolling rather than my brain working overtime. i have no take on today's trade, just hoping he's a stud for us. I do think it would be logical to trade McCann for a reliever now and let Collins learn from and back up Grandal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Daniel Hudson's another guy who has had a really long/extended career despite having two operations. The biggest point is that even two surgeries for starting pitchers is no longer a death sentence, like it used to be a decade or so ago (I think Chris Capuano was one of the first, but he wasn't a classic stuff guy, either). But it's also a risk. The success rate is 80%ish for one surgery and closer to 60% for two, from everything available online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he’s like that girl you ask out to prom after your 1st two options kindly tell you nah. Especially for a 29 yr old with TJ history. He's basically poor man's Cole. 100mph, 2+ pitches and he's going to be cheaper. 2nd half of 2018 he was one of the best pitchers in baseball. I think he can get there again.

Gtrams42 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I’d be okay with Wheeler if he’s under 20 million. Then get Marte for RF in a trade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Puig keeps getting brought up, but I think that idea just sucks. He isn't that good. Not much else to it. Maybe Caulfield thinks "swagger" is vital to a championship team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 "I don't know why this was a priority, they already had McCann and Collins" is a confusing take in comments I read on these articles but it's an efficient way to tell people to not waste your time talking to.

Gtrams42 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I would start off at Rutherford, Zeby, and Hansen. Don’t know if that’s too much or little. The game idea of Marte and Robert covering 2/3 of the OF is pretty exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
