I said no. I think he's a creature of his league, where everybody's a great hitter. I don't think it'll translate well. Plus with the doubts as to whether SS is his true position, I just don't see why they should bother.

Well, if he's going to have his shoulder checked out, it better not be by the Met doctors. Better they go to Walgreens and ask the pharmacist to take a look at him. If the pharmacist signs off on him, I say yes.

And any relief pitcher entering a game with at least one out must complete the inning. (Number of outs and number of batters can be negotiated with Union) Later What if a pitcher is totally ineffective, and gives up 5 hits in a row? You can't be forced to keep him in.

Well, that's my fault.

That's a horrible deal for us. This is why Bowden is a former GM. Why would we trade a stud pitching prospect for a guy signed to a mega-long-term deal who is coming off his worst season or may or may not be an offensive upgrade over Flores? Gee or Colon or Niese, but not Noah. You've got to be joking. We get a horrible contract and the Braves get Thor? No f'n way. Sandy wouldn't be that stupid. Whatever Bowden's smoking, I'd like some.
