Those are 2 of the top 5 or 10 prospects in baseball and the Dodgers don't even need pitching that bad. There's 0 chance that happens. They could just promote Urias now and he could conceivably be better than Hamels or at least a top pitcher.

Never said they should give us both.

The outlined scenario is an A, B, and two C-type prospects.

I don't think they'll give either.

Then they can give a B and two Cs for two months of Cueto.

Doesn't help that Hamels has been stinking up the joint. Just happens to have two of his worst ever career starts consecutively right before the deadline.

Thankfully, Cueto also decided to put up a clunker, although it's not as obvious based on the traditional line.

After today, Hamels' xFIP is 3.25 and Cueto's is 3.36.

Really need a vintage Cole start next time out. This last month has been a disaster.

Would definitely suck not knowing where your new city was. I can't really fault him for falling apart the last month.

Bucky wrote:anybody catch the telecast in the 8th/9th inning last night? Schmidt was talking about something that had happened earlier. Started it off saying to McCarthy "when you started talking to Murph, <this happened etc.>", "and <this pitch sequence happened> while you were still talking to murph". A not-so-subtle hint from Schmitty about PAYING ATTENTION TO THE GAME ON THE FIELD instead of all that other crap they bother with. Loved it.


Schmidt has been one of the more pleasant surprises the last two or three years that he's been doing announcing again.

He's a big fan of Jeff Francoeur.

CBills back to the DL, and unfortunately it looks like we'll be subjected to more Jerome Williams soon

Can you imagine if someone told you in December 2011 that we would blow for the next five years and get nothing for Halladay, Lee, Utley, Howard, Papelbon, and Brown?

On top of the awful returns for Pence and Victorino and the diminished hopes with Hamels.

It's really kind of unbelievable, above and beyond Amaro's shortcomings

This was pretty much the least #Grote post I've ever seen. For this post to come from you... it just takes me to a dark place.

Realistically, the return we get for Hamels will be about what we got for Pence.

Cole's next two starts were moved up since he only went 3 innings, so now he's pitching Friday at Wrigley and the 29th in Toronto (unless Jerome is back to stink things up)

Also speculating that CBills is done for the season since it's his flexor tendon that's acting up

I consider myself to be pretty die hard but I can't watch this shit and the ticket prices are too high. Would so much rather go buy a $10 ticket to reading or the blue rocks than spend $30 plus parking at cbp. Fuck these guys so hard.
