Minor Discussion Here

[A Boy Named Seo]

Bob Nightengale, of America's free hotel paper, reports the Mets are hot N heavy for the Rangers Mike Minor. He's pitching well so far (though his FIP and xFIP say it's but a fleeting mirage).



Questions:

[list=]
• What to do with our current $9M left-handed 5th starter?

[list=]

Why not keep prospects and just buy Dallas Keuchel for a year?

Discuss.

Robinson Canó?

Sign Keuchel instead.

[LWFS]

We sign Keuchel, we also give up a prospect, in the form of a draft pick.

[Guest 41Forever]

How long would it take Keuchel to be ready after missing all spring training and the first month? I read he's Ben throwing simulated games every five days, but I don't know if that means he'd be able to step right in.

[MFS62]

Trade for Minor's pitching coach.

As a reliever right? I don't know why you'd let him start, nor why Nightengale thinks he's an ace.

[Centerfield]

Yeah, I don't get the "ace" label either. Has had a nice WHIP the last few years, but I wouldn't give up anything too valuable.



Lugo is better and cheaper.

Nightengale was never very good anyway.

The Mets were in Baltimore completing a sweep, and the Baltimore radio guys were talking about Pelfrey and describing him as the Mets Ace. This is the season Pelfrey only allowed 2 runs in April somehow, and did end up having a pretty good year, though both Johan Santana and R.A. Dickey were better pitchers.
