Charlie Morton 2.0
Less than 5 starts after being arguably the biggest pitching addition of the offseason 2 years in a row

2 years in a row? Sure this last group was weak, but the year before had Price, Greinke, Zimmermann, Cueto etc etc, Morton and Buccholz aren’t even in the same conversation as the top 15-ish guys from 2 years ago.

I meant for the Phillies

Talk about going from potentially getting a multi-year offer (if he made 30 starts) to having to settle for a minor league deal now. Pretty big blow to his earning potential, but luckily for him he’s already made around $60M in his life.

Someone will probably give him a major league deal for a couple million. He’s better than a lot of teams fifth starters and someone will roll the dice on him and it won’t be such a big gamble. Andrew cashier just got 10 million from an AL team and he’s been injured and awful in two pitchers parks, and he’s probably half the pitcher buchholz is

I don’t think Buchholz has ever reached the 30 start plateau.
Dookie Howser, MD
Nope, never. 29 once. Also never broken 190 innings in a season

That’s alright, let the kids pitch.
And Vazquez isn’t a starter.

Why Eflin over Pivetta?
prich
Good get Pivetta Lively And Eflin starts. Lively best gamer of the bunch. Pivetta has good slider-fastball combo. Eflin just gets the balls scorched off him and somehow gets outs. Still there is no need to sign a veteran to replace Buchholz

Poor Claydro:(

As a Red Sox fan, this is about as surprising as the sun coming up this morning. Too bad, Phillie fans.

I can’t imagine what the Phillies were thinking when they ate the entire contract for a pitcher, who,let’s face it, has never been consistently healthy and very Jeckyl and Hyde.

I feel the same way… Never understood it and now, It puts it in the microscope.

Update on Bucky. The Phil’s announced a trade this evening. Buckholtz straight up for deGrom. “TC” reported to the press that , We would prefer to have confidence in what the prognosis is, then the uncertainty. We know that we have used and abused Jacob and that it would be better to move on and hope that Bucky is productive in 2018 or 2019 when most of these young pitchers will be long gone.”

For a guy that constantly makes accusations that the Mets are irrelevant, you have a remarkable habit of taking the conversation on an irrelevant tangent. We know that you hate the Mets. Repeating that point does not make it more profound — it only makes you annoying. Of course, that might be your goal in life, which further proves that everybody is a legend in their own mind.

Was this supposed to be funny?
