Regular Season Rumors

[Bobson Dugnutt]

so to be clear, you would be willing to trade for Max Scherzer?

 

i'd go so far as to say i'd trade caratini, lastella, and montgomery for him!

Lol yes, obviously, it’s a ton of money/LT implications is what I was mostly pointing out.

Yeah very little interest for me there

Hamels is solid, and with his contract the prospect cost should be minimal. I feel pretty comfortable hand waving away spikes in dongs allowed if they're not due to velocity loss.

what if, instead of trading for Cole Hamels, we did not do that

I'm all in on Hamels' home/road splits. Texas is basically Coors but without the fanfare.

He's a rental. I would venture to guess there's no chance he gets to 200 IP this season to vest his option.

he needs to get to 252. the option vests with 400 total innings pitched between this year and last.

What happened to Lamb?

[Rob]

I'm getting a real sense of deja vu about this Cole Hamels thing. It's like we did the same thing with Dan Haren. Except Dan Haren is funny.

If we trade for hamels, can they throw in Kela?

This was pretty much my first thought. How do we turn this into Kela.

[Perd]

I did a little research on Hamels. And from what I understand, he is not Tyler Chatwood. DO IT.

I like Ziegler (I'm really partial to guys like him and Cishek) but I feel like given the Duensing situation a guy who can get lefties out might be necessary.

I hope they get Conley.

Don’t think it needs its own thread, maybe we should have a “deadline transaction thread?” But good deal for D’backs And glad he didn’t go to the VBs

Lol the Cardinals are releasing Greg Holland.

[Bull]

Lol the Cardinals are releasing Greg Holland.

Get him, Theo. I’m only mostly joking. Would love to see him succeed with the Cubs after imploding with the Cards. I’m sure he won’t drop to us though, and I’m not sure where he’d fit on the roster.

He's not going to be claimed, I can't imagine, so he will be free to sign with anyone.
