Kramerica Industries Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 And all those other mid-tier, mid-rotation starting pitchers (hello, Matt Garza) break out a collective -eating grin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The Nationals wanted a roof over Nationals Park. A $300 million roof. As a Nats fan, I have to ask; why? The summers are tolerable. The spring and fall are fine as long as you bring a decent fleece jacket. Washington's never been a real rainy area. Unless they want to host a Final Four, a roof over Nationals Park makes very little sense. Besides, I don't see how they could build one without doing some major work to the rest of the stadium. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes?

They want one just "because". Seriously seems to be the overriding reasoning behind this. They wanted to see if they could bilk more money out of the District, and they got an unequivocal "no". That'll likely be the end of it. But it does seem to be a trend of sorts. Teams inside want to go outside, teams outside want to go inside.

Gary Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Doug Fister to the Nationals for Ian Krol, Steve Lombardozzi, and Robbie Ray.Sounds like a fire sale going on. I think they may be getting rid of big names to sign a closer and a Outfielder. Not a fan of this trade, but we could actually use Drew Smyly in the starting rotation. Just don't like this at all.

Supposedly the Big Owe's roof needs between 100 and 200 million dollars worth of repairs as it's literally falling apart again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't like this at all.Me neither, but I trust Dombrowski. I imagine he's going to put all he's got into extending Scherzer now. And there's no way Smyly is a regular starter. He's ok out of the pen, but they need a 4th starter. Demote Porcello to the pen as well. Starters- Verlander, Scherzer, Sanchez, yet-to-be-signed playerBullpen- Albuquerque, Coke, Smyly, Porcello, Alvarez and however they plan to use the new guys they got from the NatsCloser- NathanI'm OK with this, as long as that fourth starter is decent.We just got Joe Nathan, which I'm very happy with considering how terrible our closers have been for the past couple of years.

FiddySicks Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Reports are coming in that the Diamondbacks just found some poor unsuspecting schmuck willing to take Heath bell off of their hands. That schmuck is the Rays enjoy that one, Tampa! I'm hoping that the D Backs were able to get a solid bag of used baseballs for him, but that's a pretty steep price for someone as awful as Heath bar Bell.

Bell was great when he was on the Pads. Send him to Florida the first time and his career just seemed to collapse and he's been tossed around ever since.

Kramerica Industries Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Wait, the RAYS decided to take on Heath Bell's salary?I mean, there's no doubt Heath Bell will go back to being a shutdown closer, but that was about the last time I would expect to take on that kind of salary. Without looking up the specifics, I have to imagine the D'Backs are eating a solid amount of the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Yeah, Rays are absorbing $5.5M on this deal. I guess $5.5M is reasonable for excellent closer production. Make no mistake about it - I've seen this movie far too many times than I wish. Troy Percival in 2008, Joaquin Benoit in 2010 (set-up, but still), Kyle Farnsworth in 2011, and Fernando Rodney in 2012-'13 (...kinda) - all pitchers either coming off major injuries or major ineffectiveness who somehow had magical seasons for the Rays out of the bullpen. Their ability to do it is unbelievably annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
