I like other teams' fans' reaction to that possibility:

Crap!

Just what they need.

I'd def be on board with that. He's a player.

Just spitballin'....

Is there going to be a possibility in the future that instead of a 5 man rotation with a 6-7 bullpen guys, that some teams are going to go like 3 2nd tier starters with 8-9 bullpen guys, to somewhat offset the high cost of starting pitchers in the market?

Plus, outside of some high end starters, it's pretty well documented that the 3rd time around the batting order on the same starting pitcher is when his #'s tend to go up.

Thoughts?

Any idea if what he might be getting? 3 for 25?

That sounds about right. Probably think Zack Duke from last year, maybe?

I'm sure O'Day's agent was thrilled to see that get out. Probably planted it. I would not expect GMDM to drop an AAV $8 million/year on another bullpen arm. But right now he could sign Jim Abbott to pitch right-handed and I'd probably give him the benefit of the doubt.

Go for it!

Heyward
Zobrist
Cain
Hosmer
Chris Davis
Gordon
Perez
Moose
Esky

That's a powerful, fast, athletic lineup that has a plus defender at each position.

Zimmerman
Volquez
Ventura
Grienke
Medlen

Bullpen is still strong.

Go for it!
Yep that would work. Do it Glass!!

Hasn't the Royals already done this ?

I mean, haven't you heard, aces don't matter?

Might as well bring Greinke back as well. Just get the whole gang back again.

It would be the mist Grienke thing ever for him to come back here and sign a contract well below market value. Come on, ZG...5 years $100,000,000.

All seems to be quiet on the Gordo front.

Cards just let Broxton go as well.

We are in an off-season in which the executives have earned all trust and benefit of the doubt? What the **** am I supposed to bitch?

If he keeps playing like this- he will be in the HOF some day.

They were talking about that on tv. He definitely is heading in that direction.
