Yeah, lets all pretend that teams are breaking down the door for the 0-8 pitcher.

 

I think he still has some value, but he has been a huge disappointment this season. I'm just relieved we didn't give him some 4 year, 68 mil extension or anything like that.

Anyone remember why Cincy let Hamilton go? Can't remember the details.

Pretty sure they were just trying to sell high on him...he went from a complete bust to a very good player, but I don't think they trusted that his success would last.

Man that would have been a huge discount

You guys are really busting out the pessimism tonight!

With regards to being happy that we didn't give Danks ace money? I fully expected the Sox to lose tonight, as Ogando's a tough match-up for a righty heavy team. Have you seen his numbers against righties this season?

Let's not overreact here...he definitely has had a bit of a down year, but he's a 26 year old lefty with 46 wins under his belt and a career ERA around 4 pitching in a bandbox...to say that his value is seriously compromised based on his W-L record this year or a few rough outings seems to be a bit ridiculous to me.

I thought I said in an earlier post that I didn't think his value was too diminished for other teams right now. For the Sox, I absolutely cannot see how they can afford him.

Depends on what you mean by seriously compromised. You've got to admit that his desirability has dropped substantially.

Oh ok, I missed that. Sorry.

 

Honestly, I think it's time to move him...this is the price we're ultimately going to pay for trading for Jake and bringing in Rios...and so be it.

 

I think we can still get some nice pieces for him, especially if we move him at the deadline to NYY or Boston.
