I'm a big Chad bettis fan for the rockies..tough place to pitch but he makes it work without killer speed.
As a Red Sox fan and a Yankee hater I must agree with everything you wrote.
Everyone on both teams were just dragging it over the finish line for game 7. Hell, AC pitched 3 innings a few days before.
Is this thread on cespedes ? Was cespedes's deal the biggest for a player at his position in history? Show me the ESPN articles about the cespedes deal being bad, I'm not Keith law.... Keith law said this
It's the market..the market has been set. Jansen already has an 80mil+ offer.
Assuming an NL team wants to take a broken down reliever at that point. As I said, it's the market and the market is silly this year. That doesn't make it a great deal.
Ya because an nl team with less money than the Yankees is going to want a pitcher who costs 17 million dollars a year but can't get the job done (that would be the reason for the yanks to trade him) that's funny ash ! Only teama that fit that mold would possibly be nationals, cardinals or Cubs since Chapman can't go to Dodgers or Giants
Love this move big time. And would be fine if it's the only big one that is made this year. Got a lot of younger players to get out on the field to see what we have. Very excited about 2017!
you've never heard his name ? He's only been a senior baseball writer at ESPN for a while, worked high up in the Blue Jays front office after impressing their general manager who lasted for 8 years (J.P. Riccardi) very well known around baseball and was offered to be the Houston Astro's scouting director 2years ago but turned it down. Keith Law has been all over ESPN and clearly a lot of baseball people care what he has to think. Law also attended Harvard, I'm sure he is a very smart guy, but ya you only care about your own biased opinion.
I'm not knocking any part of the move at all, but calling it "brilliant"? Come on. Kyle Flood could have been sitting at Cashman's desk and pulled off these same moves.
wait you're the guy who laughs on here when people think they know more than the coaches about football or have better ideas than them, yet you think your own opinion about baseball is greater than someone who worked high up in a major league front office, can you explain this hypocracy or no?
He traded a pending FA on a team that wasn't winning, in a seller's market providing historical returns for closers, and then gave him the largest contract for a reliever ever.
hey guess you can never talk about Penn State since you're a rutgers fan, guess there's a new law where we can only talk about our own teams now.... so you best shut up about temple, also keith law isn't a mets fan.
read the article he's not talking about just domestic violence. He thinks 5 years is too long.
What's funny is you talking about chapman like he'll be broken down and worthless in year three when he can opt out when he is basically 30 years old. We're talking about a future potential hall of famer and you're talking like no other RP has made the successful transition into an older age bracket. Have you seen the age of closers around the league? Guys pitch into their late thirties now. But I'm not even talking about late thirties! I'm talking 30-31! But keeping talking like you know shit about baseball..I'm getting a kick out of it
..hence where the prospects come into play..that the Yankees traded for...do you not understand how this whole thing works or something? Prospects nowadays are better commodities than money. Hence why the red Sox just got a top 5 pitcher for an infielder who hasn't showed anything at the MLB level yet.
