This only makes sense if we get an ace or a #2 with the potential to become an ace. 
 

Let’s see what Perry does in the next few days. Should be very interesting.

Considering we estimated that we had about 20-25 mil to spend, it would seem that Gray would fit well here.

2018 Teheran was better too

Don’t ever post this filth ever again.

I think this might take us out of the running for Bauer. I see a big trade coming for our ace. Hope I’m wrong.

or they finally came to a deal with Bauer and his first year salary was such that it gave the halos enough space to get Quintana.

Now this is the wholesome content I come here for.

Mickey Callaway is the HR whisperer.  

[gotbeer]

Sportrac had his estimated salary at $7.5 million.  So close.  

Stats wise, you are hoping for him to return to his younger days.  And that rarely happens.  Last 3 seasons 1.3 WHIP.  ERA over 4.  

Not sure what everyone is so excited for.

Don’t get me wrong; I like the signing but it doesn’t elevate us beyond .500 level ball. It’s more of the same patchwork rotation signing. Either by money or by prospect, we need an ace.

2018-2019 Teharan was better. 2020 isn't even worth discussing.

I thought we fired Eppler?

Not bad, not here's my question. 

With Quintana, we have Bundy,Heaney, Canning,Ohtani and Barria, that's enough for a 6 man rotation. I truly believe that Barria should get a fair shot. Now the question(s) that needs to be asked;

1. Are we out of Bauer?

2. Is a trade coming up?

3. Is Ohtani not fully healthy

4 is Quintana the backup plan if we miss out on Bauer?

 

Ohtani is out of rotation until he proven healthy. Quintana only first piece for rotation puzzle.

it's doesn't elevate us over .500 because we were already there.

That’s the point...it doesn’t make us marginally better...and the last time we were actually over a .500 ball club was 2015. Two years of 80-82 is the closest we’ve been since. So it’s just another one of those good not great signings 

[Docwaukee]

He's had an FIP above 3.80 twice in his 9 year career.  In 2018, and his partial rookie season.  

His hr/fb rate bumped up considerably when he joined the cubs.  Can you say marine layer?  

I really like this add btw.  

[Erstad Grit]

All statements excited about Teheran last year are being repeated almost word for word.

----consistent innings is what we need

----great one year deal

----our defense will elevate him

[Taylor]

This is objectively a great signing for the price. Very low risk, high reward scenario.

uh so?  who cares about the last time?  what does that have to do with how they'll perform in 2021?  

It does make us better.  to think otherwise is just ludicrous.

We've been wanting this guy for a while now. I'm happy with it.

God forbid a different GM might be better at his job than the one that just got fired.

Low cost fit gap option for depth still leaves budget for another pitcher 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Lol at people defending this move like it takes us to playoff caliber by itself. It’s okay to let people be skeptical of this organizations ability to put together a competent starting rotation.

We should now trade Quintana for Eloy.
