A bit better, G.
Thanks.
It isn't that I feel THAT bad, just not as good as I was hoping. Smyly has never interested me that much as a major trade target. He hasn't been a work horse and he was best out of the pen. I suppose you could also look at our trades as Gohara for Dyson and Karns for Smyly + a RP.
:) Nah, that's stretching it, isn't it?
We needed a pitcher badly and we paid for that need. I wonder what more we would have to have added to get the extra year of Odorizzi?
But now we're set, more or less. Seems we have one reliable work-horse arm in the rotation, and that is our #5 guy. But the other 4 all come with some upside that is significant. Things could be worse. and I will admit that Smyly's 1st half doomed his overall numbers. A quirk, I hope.
I will try to get on the band-wagon.
