Can't wait for Madbum to yell at them when they make an error or celebrate a home run for too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I think Bumgarner is going to be a productive pitcher. I think mapping HR stats isn't how things work (you don't play all games in one stadium and he may very well pitch to San Frans stadium, and he's smart as hell) That said...this is not the level of pitcher I wanted. We will still need to grind to find a TOR starter or get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That obviously would have still been true if we signed Wheeler, but we really need one of those two guys to be a #1 or #2 type pitcher.

wegner Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I really am at a loss about who they pivot to now. They signed Grandal showing that they were serious this offseason. They obviously really targeted and thought they were going to get Wheeler with the reported offer. I do not think this is the time yet to trade away significant assets to get starting pitching, but they really need starting pitching.

gusguyman Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Sign Ryu, resign Rodon, keep one in bubble wrap until the other gets injured then swap. Between the two of them we'd have an excellent 200IP ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will still need to grind to find a TOR starter or get lucky. I’m not totally against Bumgarner, but he clearly lacks the TOR upside of Wheeler and his $100M rumored price is scary. But honestly, not sure what else we can do. Ryu is interesting, but if people thought Wheeler was an injury risk I don’t know what they see in this guy.

Bum is one guy who I think is not going to get his asking price. I still think he's more 85-88 range, so marginal but still I don't think he is a big escalating bidding war guy. I do wonder if he goes back to san fran if he doesn't get what he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best case scenario is the Sox and Twins vying for his services. Divisional opponents going after the same FA always helps to pump up the price tag a bit.

daggins Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I dunno, Marco Gonzalez? He's more of a mid-rotation guy but he's got pretty similar peripherals to Bumgarner and is much younger. There isn't much to the trade market, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Strasburg. Should have been #1 priority all offseason and now...He HAS to be. Best case scenario is that MadBum signs with the Twins or Angels and that leaves Stras and Cole for Sox and Yankees respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 is there any rumors to MadBum to the Angels? That would be ideal to up our chances to Stras.... No way twins would go that high for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
