An FYI worth noting--Josiah Gray has a 3.41 ERA this year in 100 innings pitched compared to Scherzer's 4.31 ERA in about 90 innings pitched..........wait for it........for roughly $42.5 million less.
If that doesn't knock your aunt Connie's socks off I don't know what will.

So you're saying that throwing money at old pitchers doesn't guarantee success on the field? Surely you jest!

Blowzuna may be back.
He was 1-11 in this series with 7 K's and a GIDP.
But thankfully he hasn't lost that stupid grin he always has on his face.
His numbers are decent. Maybe we can get some sucker to take him in a deadline deal. Using Murphy or d'Arnaud would work out just fine in most cases.

I'm always leery of taking pitchers with control issues, especially college pitchers. We shall see.

Ryne Stanek they say is a good comp. Strikeout machine in high school and college but with control issues. Drafted in 1st round by Tampa Bay. Typical hunnert mph guy but doesn't translate into great success. Still a huge arm. Hopefully with the right coaching this kid works out...

I don't agree with this, we're just simply way more talented than the Mutts, but it's good to see Pete catch hell on a national level and maybe piss off a lot of Mutts fan too, lol....
