Chavez has been pretty good 2nd starter to trade for? Hope

Problem is, Butera has some value, defensively. I haven't seen anything from Coleman that made me go "wow" or "This guy is decent".

Cuthbert did though.

He hit 5-15 while he was up here and has a 14 game hitting streak from when being called up than sent down to now. Plus he's really good with the glove

I hope a dog bites her tit.

Mets get Uribe and Kelly Johnson from the Braves. Good move. Kelly Johnson was a guy I thought we could have targeted. Can play OF, 3B, 1B or 2B in a pinch.

Chavez has two quality starts since June 1.

He had a hot start, hasn't been terrible since then, but isn't worth what it would cost to get a #2.

Exactly, what would it cost?

I always laugh when someone pretends Guthrie is a legit starter.

A better pitcher would have won the game.

Exactly. And Houston went out and got him, while Dayton pulled his pud.

Houston got Kazmir for guys you've never heard of. Gmdm needs to get to work

I agree. Time to fire Dayton.

Guthrie gave us 7 innings tonight. He did his job. It's not his fault he's basically a #5 starter forced into being a 2/3 starter because our rotation is struggling. He's a perfectly fine #4 or 5 starter on a championship team, and he always has been.
