The 2015 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

Is it definite that the Mets will not re-sign him though? Is he really being treated as a rental? Why not re-sign him anyway? I feel he's perfect for what the team and fans need long-term.

He wants to go back to Detroit even if he's traded. Mets will only have five days after the World Series ends to sign him, otherwise he's gone.

Whispers that Detroit didn't get Wheeler.

I was told due to some language in his contract that the team only has a 5 day window after the world series ends to sign him, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sign him until May, which obviously wouldn't happen.

I don't know if it's accurate but that's what was said here.

I soured on the idea of acquiring him once I heard this

Tigers got Fulmer and Cessa? What do I need to know about these two?

 

[Derek Lee]

Tigers got Cessa and Fulmer (Two RHP). Fulmer was an up and coming prospect pitching prospect for them. Good deal for both squads.

No the fk he cannot, have you seen his lefty splits?

He doesn't play against lefties.

 

[Spence]

He doesn't play against lefties.

Which puts him in the expendable utility category. What if he starts in the playoffs and a coach decides to & put in a lefty reliever knowing its an easy out?

All the time in the world huh? Its only been 70 years since their last appearance

& over a century since they won a chip

Or not going in when there is an arms race and firesale going on within the NL. We will revisit this convo after October though

fukk that. @god shamgod has been taunting me all year saying they're gonna land Price and make other big moves to put them in the hunt this year. Some "big" deal with the Pads to get Kimbrel.

How's the back of that bullpen looking @god shamgod ? There aren't gonna be any closers on the market in FA either.

We can talk about the young talent on the Cubs, but the reality is that all those guys are hitting below .250. Rizzo's the only proven bat in their lineup.

tagged the man twice before he could respond

Dustin Ackley cant even get a headline anymore, dude looked like a sure thing in the CWS but is just terrible. something about the Mariners organization and hitting
