If we trade Danny for Cueto, then how do we win game 3 or 6? We need to ADD someone, not REPLACE Duffy.

Danny Duffy is suddenly our game 3 starter? Based off of what evidence?
Danny Duffy pitched in 1 postseason game last year. Danny Duffy has shown me zero evidence he's currently one of our postseason starters.
And you really want to trot Mr. Headcase out there in the postseason even if he is clicking? Boy, can't wait to see how that turns out.
The fact of the matter is ... IMO, with trading Duffy and Finnegan, you'd be trading your #5 postseason pitcher (Duffy) and an easily replaceable 5th inning or long reliever type (in case you need a bridge to MHDH) for THE BEST ****ING PITCHER WE'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME (the only comparison being Greinke in 2009).
Try and think back for a second.
WE ARE POTENTIALLY TRADING FOR 2009 ZACK GREINKE, AND SOME OF YOU WON'T TRADE DANNY DUFFY AND BRANDON FINNEGAN TO ACQUIRE THIS TO BOLSTER A TEAM WHO HAS 1 ****ING WEAKNESS RIGHT NOW (starting pitching).
I mean.
OMG
