Dammit, Theo.

Idle thought: Isn't it funny how there hasn't been any mention about how Bryce Harper is about to be traded to the Cubs?

I don't get it.

[jersey cubs fan]

I blame the Framing Nazis.

I feel like the team started to look too good so we had to start shedding wins to get back down to 83.

eh, i'm not even sure he's worse than castillo in the role he'd be in once you figure the framing.

 

i didn't want this to happen but i'm not exactly upset over it. it's not like it's giving henry blanco $3.2M in 2008 dollars when you have geovany soto.

[davell]

Well [expletive]. Hopefully Castillo brings us an upgrade somewhere else. Is him for Fowler asking too much?

[Butterscup1679666578]

this is bad and theo should feel bad.

[ScrubMD]

This plus the other guy we picked up today hopefully means the market for Castillo is better than we think.

[Tryptamine]

The return on Castillo had better be overwhelming.

[Neuby]

I'll wait to crap all over this until I see the return for Castillo.

In a vacuum where you simply look at their PAs and performance. Maybe.

 

We aren't in that vacuum though, and Castillo is a better everyday injury replacement, better at playing more to keep Montero healthier, etc.

Dude put up a .548 OPS last year. It feels an awful lot like that.

it's 50 games and he had a .239 babip

(Montero + Ross) > (Castillo + Baker), I guess.

That's all I got.

he's a 40 year old catcher with no power left, of course a lot of his batted balls will result in outs.

He's 38 and a catcher. He'll barely be able to crawl to 1b by the end of the deal. His BABIP will be .000.

That's all I got.

 

and It only tooks us $50M to get that very slight improvement.

Baker did add 0.1 WAR with his pitching. Probably a toss up.

[Guest]

Okay I prepped myself for Ross, but not at $2.5 for two years. WTF
