In a quote to the St Louis Dispatch.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Team friendly contract cool?

Team friendly contract cool?

 

1/$5 with 12 team option years at the same price

Is he definitely going to test FA? Or is he open to an extension, if he gets dealt?

 

I hate saying it, but I think we'll sign stopgaps again in the offseason. As good if ones as we can find, but stopgaps nonetheless. At most, maybe a 2 year on a guy.(nothing wrong with that)I've seen quotes recently from Theo that made it sound like they definitely don't want to invest big money in pitching until we're definitively contending. As much as I'm looking forward to seeing our youngsters next year, it's very likely some or all experience growing pains in the majors.

 

If Price hits FA, I think we'd take the chance on him at that point. But I can't see us adding a major pitching acquisition until 2016, the more I look at things.

 

If we have Arrieta/Wood/Jackson and one of Hendricks/Wada looking viable, I think we're likely to sign 2 out of this group.....

 

Masterson/Liriano/Hammel/Beckett/McCarthy/Peavy/Dempster(cheap and I expect him back the more I think about it)

 

Then, once some of the young hitters are firmly established, we'll add a longterm option or 2, as far as SP goes.

Eww pitchers.

Didn't Dempster essentially retire?

[Sammy Sofa]

That's cool; he can watch it with me on the teevee box.

[Banedon]

Eww pitchers.

 

If Theo was as awesome as he thinks he is, he'd figure out a way to win the WS without pitchers.
