Follow carefully, I'm trying to help you analyze the statements of Mr. Impatient Owner and offer my opinions.....1) You aren't going to get a Greinke (your example) type right now, which is what Arte says we're looking for...that's ok but you're not getting that type of guy now, though you might in July and it will cost you a hell of a lot more than Rengifo.....

2) Why in the hell are we talking to the Dodgers about Stripling if you consider him a 4/5 starter and we don't want that anyway (so says Mr. Impatient).

3) Having analyzed Arte's nonsensical statement, I am offering my opinion that Stripling is a pretty good pitcher and if the cost was Rengifo, I do that trade any time....we're better with Stripling than Rengifo...

Comprende'?

1. Again, he didn't say "right now". He specifically said "during the season". 

2. Did Arte say he considered Stripling a #4 or 5 starter? If so, I missed it. If you can provide a link, I'd greatly appreciate it.

3. You have no idea what the actual deal entailed. If you find his comments to be  nonsensical, that's a you problem. They were pretty clear. 

 

[T.G.]

When Moreno said, "The Angels are looking to add a starter that can “substantially” help them, not a No. 4 or No. 5 type starter" - I don't necessarily think he's referring to Stripling as that #4 or #5 guy.  He's speaking more generally at that point, iMO.

or what Lou said.

See, someone "comprendes"

1. Elite pitchers are traded in April and May all the time, right...they are traded in July....

2. Huh?... to quote you... You are as nonsensical as Arte...

3. True...neither of us know what the deal ultimately entailed....as to nonsensical comments, I'll leave that to you and Arte....

So they take away is that Moreno would sign a 73 year old Nolan Ryan if he decided to make a comeback.

I mean, if theres one guys who would probably never need TJ surgery, its him.

We can't let this thread die just yet.

Yeah, not moving on. Can we start a new threat every time either Pederson or Stripling do something good? As long as Arte isn't a dumbass, we shouldn't have many of those, right? I'm sure these guys are really just chumps.

73 year-old Ryan >>>>>>> Harvey and Cahill

I think Nolan would sign just to further distance himself from the Asstros.

Also he could be our designated plunker...

He left the Astros organization last November. I would rather him than Tony LaRussa was hired as an executive advisor.

Guilty of snarkiness (though it was in response to the same) and typing too fast at work (my thoughts were a little garbled)....

How much did Ryan know about the cheating?
