Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:02 AM) Indeed. Which is why I'm surprised people are happy he's going there. I only wanted to see him go to the NL. Yup. Yeah, it's good that he's apparently not going to the Twins. But this pretty much eliminates any chance of us doing a thing even if we get to the playoffs (we'd play the Yankees in the ALDS, as the WC will come from the east and the Rangers are likely to finish with a better record than us).

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:04 AM) How can you leave off Hughes? He's been the best pitcher on that staff. Burnett and Javy have been overpaid hot garbage this year. They're getting a combined $27 million more than Freddy Garcia and neither one is outproducing him. I was looking towards the playoffs. Hughes and Javy won't sniff the playoff rotation with those first 4 in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have signed him in the offseason anyways, so it's probably a good thing that they had to deal Montero to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes and Javy won't sniff the playoff rotation with those first 4 in place. If Burnett keeps pitching like he has, he's gonna tank in his first start and never see the mound in the playoffs again.

The fact that we are even discussing us being in the playoffs is pretty amazing. Lots of things can happen before then so this talk is really premature.

True but he still is a frequent no-show in the post season. Some years he looks great but other years he looks like Dewayne Wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
