Seattle has a GM???

[Bon Bon]

Yep a new guy named Banter

wait, you gave up all that just for Zam, but wouldn't give up just Waldrop for Weaver despite Weaver being cheaper, younger, similarly rated, and pitching better? ummm...OK

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Prov, 10-8-9 and 9-9-7 are not similarly rated.

[Providence A's]

they're not? 1 point stuff difference, 2 point movement difference with Weaver having 1 more contro pointl...in addition to being younger, cheaper, and outperforming Zam. You're telling the difference between the 2 of them is 2 5.0 star specs? OK chief LOLZDGEHHEAWQQEQ

[NYgiantsfan5689]

i didn't say the difference is 2 5.0 specs, or that i agree with the trade, or your situation. all i am saying is that I don't think they can be considered similarly rated

[Providence A's]

I don't have a situation...Weaver is probably gone anyway. I'm just shocked to see him give up so much more than he was even willing to give up for a similar pitcher...not the same, similar.

Life's a *****, ain't it

Not to mention Weaver has never had an ERA under 4.80 and only has 8 starts this year, as Zambrano has never been above 4.00 (In OOTP). As for the cost, Zambrano is loyal and signed to a pretty decent contract as Weaver is Minimal and has pending F.A. this year. Neither one of the guys I added are exactly special either, both project to be a DH and neither really has any outstanding offensive dynamics, unless they get a gain.

Life's a *****, ain't it

yea, that's why I said I have a deal on the table pretty much

Weaver isn't a FA...I signed him for $2.5 x 3 years. I never said they were the same...just surprised to see you give up that much more considering there isn't really a huge difference. that is all...

[Banter]

Oh Hai guys... I'm the new Seattle GM, Im rocking out in 30th place... Cheap Beer is what keeps people coming to the stadium!
