Dustin Ackley has been productive as of late.
A few pairs of players for you, wondering who you’d rather have going forward:
Garrett Richards or Nate Eovaldi?
Andrew Cashner or Homer Bailey?
Anibal Sanchez or Hisashi Iwakuma?
All trades I’ve seen recently (with other filler players thrown in), wondering who got the best of those deals.
We’ll chat about this on tomorrow’s show.
Wieters’ walk year is this year, not 2015.
No, it is 2015.
From Baseball-Reference:
2014 Status 2nd-Year Arb Eligible, Earliest Arb Eligible: 2015, Earliest Free Agent: 2016
From a recent article:
“Because Wieters is unlikely to sign a long-term contract, the Orioles were expected to look into potentially trading Wieters sometime before he hits free agency following the 2015 season. Any serious elbow injury could complicate such plans.”
Nick owes me a beer for the Red Wedding Part II, or what I am calling that Tyler Lyons’ start against the Cubs last night. Sheeeesh.
