SuperSteve Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Mark Buehle's days of being an ace are over IMO. The league knows him too well and no longer chases that back door curve or slider low-in quite as much. He is still a good young pitcher, a 3.60-3.70 ERA type. Loaiza is someone you just can't project. Last year he was an ace. The rest fo his career - basically a solid #4. Garland? Come on -- he is a dumbass with no heart until proven otherwise. The good news is that this division is even worse than I thought. Even the Sox will have to try hard not to win it. But what do we do in the playoffs once we're matched up against the Carmines or the Yanks? Ok, if Koch is back then our bullpen is tolerable. If Krnny gets Roberts, outr hitting will be pretty good. All we're missing from being a LEGITIMATE WORLD SERIES CONTENDER is an ace. Over the full season, getting one is out of the question since Reiny won't pay. But at the trade deadline, having thrown in Ryan Wing-type prospects, there might be a team out there who will give up a Javier Vasquez type --- naturally at a prorated cost. Vasquez is an ace?

BrandoFan Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Vasquez is an ace? Maybe, maybe not. Last 3 seasons he's been pretty close to that level. Better than having Garland and Show as 3-4. I would suggest somebody like Hudson, but first the A's have to be well out of contention and then there's Billy Caesar's asking price..... Maybe Randy Johnson if he is not totally fallling apart. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 The Cubs will certainly be out of it by the break. Maybe we can get one of their studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
