Sox should dump Kimbrel; no need to re-sign that guy.

I'd switch Eavaoldi to closer.

deGrom or Max, strong case can be made for either and I think both are deserving. At this point if I'm voting I'll flip a coin best of 7 to see who gets #1.  I don't know that anyone else is even close to those two.

So does DeGrom get Cy Young? 

I think he does.

So do I.

I saw a stat on DeGrom that was just sick.

If the Mets scored 5 runs every game he would have been 32-0.

If the Mets scored 4 runs he would be 31-1

If the Mets score 3 runs he would be 26-6

Those are some stupid statistics...

DeGrom all day.

Yeah that was in a tweet I posted here a while back.  Even just 2 runs it was like 21-9 or something.  Fuckin Mets.

I saw there was a big push for the name a while back, that is pretty awesome!  I might have to get a cap.

Eovaldi could make $10-12 Mil per year as a closer.

He'll make $16-20 Mil per year as a starter.

Think he wants to be a closer?

Not at the price he'll command.

I would think re-sign Eovaldi as a starter; don't let that guy go anywhere. And re-sign Kelly and try to move him to the closer role, with Barnes as his setup. Kelly has got the stuff and the fortitude; he just needs to work on his control a bit.

It should be interesting.

If they pay him I don't think he'd care one way or the other.

You don't think he'd care if he got $10 Mil per year instead of $18 mil per year?

if last season was any indication there might not be signings until April or May

If they "Pay" him I don't think he'd care one way or the other...

So that means that if they pay him the 18 mil then he wouldn't mind being a closer.

They did that shit one year and only one person won arbitration or something like that and then MLB got sued for collusion,lol.

Point is nobody will pay him $18 mil to be a closer. Starters make more than closers.
