Randy Wolf is gonna be the saviour to the Blue Jays pitching rotation! Watch out AL East!

Im so depressed as a jays fan right now
Draven Moss
Don’t feel too bad. My Red Sox haven’t done too well this season, but the pitching has been picking up the last week or so.

Our team ERAS are disusting… the blue jays are 2-18 when we score 4 runs or less. 2-18…

They haven’t won too many games scoring 5 runs either. Which is really icing on the cake for how bad pitching has been for this team.

Jays could sure use J.A. Happ right now – that trade has sure proven to be one sided so far.

As has the Lind-Estrada trade. Although i think everyone was expecting that Saunders wouldn’t be able to stay healthy. He just cannot seem to catch a break for that

Not according to Mike Wilner it hasn’t.

Funny, I’d rather have Wolf than Marcum. Especially after Marcum went on a tirade after the Mets cut him. Wolf seems much more even keeled, and their skill is probably equal. I don’t trust Marcum to pitch without imploding because something doesn’t go his way.

Houston needs to do whatever it takes to get Cole Hamels ASAP !
stroh
Not really. They’ve done just fine without him, and they’ve had 2 out of 5 starters hurt. With McCullers called up, and Oberholtzer and Peacock on the mend they should be just fine for competition at the number 5 spot. Keuchel, McHugh, Feldman and Hernandez are four solid starters – all pitched well last year, and all are pitching well again. Not saying that Hamels would not make them a better team, but not at all cost.

I don’t think they should do “whatever it takes”, but yes I think they should make a hard strong push to get him. We can’t sell the farm. It has to be a fair deal.
The main reason I want him is he’s an ace with playoff experience under contract for 3 (4 if the option vests/is picked up) more years. That makes him 34 or 35 in his last year. Not terribly old. I rather make a trade and get him under those terms than sign an ace this offseason for 7 years that won’t expire until the guy is 37+. I’d love to have him this year, but the next 3 years is when the Astros are really going to need a guy like him because they will no doubt be competing for championships those years. A veteran ace would be a huge boost.

depending on how McCullers does, I would say the astros need to go looking for an RBI hitter who can hit north of .260.

The way I count, the Indians have 38 on the 40 man right now as when they DFA’d Chen, they replaced him with another man on the 40, so the roster was at 39, and they then put Aviles on the restricted list to deal with his ailing child, thus the 40 man sits at 38. No 40 man will be needed, but a 25 man will.
