Desperate, Foster?

[Porter]

Got better value for Wade Davis than I thought I would. Jarrell will start right away and Piper will play a lot backing up Torres at catcher

If anyone wants Marron and/or Salty for free and Ill pay max for Salty on both years.

You should completely rebuild, it's in your best interest.

Ive actually gotten younger in each of the last 3 seasons.

And how's that working out for ya?

[Porter]

They are under achieving. How else are you going to explain a 9-10-8 and a 9-7-9 pitcher with 6+ ERA. And 80% of the AL have Team ERA over 5.

yea, perhaps I'll take a look at the settings after this season along with MLB totals now to see where we stand. I haven't ever touched those settings, but eliminating 2 teams may have had some impact like OM suggested at the time. There are still plenty of individual pitchers doing quite well.

Its not a knock on you Prov. It's been normally very fair when it came to the settings. When OM made his contractions, the same effect happened when it came to pitching. Talent Level rises for teams. Depth Improves. What becomes solid-stud players are now very average.

I'm enjoying career years out of my guys, I like the settings.

Porter's problem is he's always trading for guys who have never been good. Freitas' career best was 4.09, Henderson 5.09, and no comment on Hughes or Wade the Spade.

Hughes 3 best seasons were in Seattle. Freitas is inconsistent like Davis was but hell you would think he would to slightly better than a 6 ERA. And Henderson is an enigma but is only 24.


Edit- SP's hate going to my teams. Because Francis (TPSL) was a stud before he came to Seattle. So thats not the case all the time.

yea...I'll check it out though. If I do make any changes, they won't be anything drastic. There are only 4 teams under 5 in the AL and 9 in the NL...so half the league is under 5 and half over 5. I'm going to look at MLB and see how it shakes out.

And his best were sad.
Point is, your pitchers sucked before we contracted.
