Michael Wacha?

[T.G.]

He's just 28 years old.  Is there upside?  His 2019 second half looks a little better than the first half. 

@Inside Pitch what are your thoughts?  What do the numbers tell you? 

I'm not trying to make a case for him... just trying to see if there is a case for someone like this...

I'm not inside pitch, but there isn't much upside in my opinion. He would be another back end/depth guy based on his numbers the past 3 years. In his early 20's it looked like he was going to be a really good pitcher. Things have only gone south from there. Not a great strike out guy and doesn't even stay healthy.

He'd fit right in.

The irony here: who did the Cardinals draft with the 2012 1st round pick gained from the Halos when the Halos signed Pujols?

Yep, Wacha

Wish we kept Wacha.

We can't continue to sign/trade for "possible upside" guys to complete our staff. That hasn't worked since Appier.

Let's go get an F'n pitcher.

The numbers tell me 1 year at $3 million plus $7 million in possible incentives to the Mets.

[hangin n wangin]

If 3 million, he got paid his worth. Shit. Could be a good deal if he regains his early career magic, but reality is that he's shit.

[Kendo36]

Seems like a great deal for the Mets.

Any bets that he outpitches Wheeler this year?
