Hamels. Great comp for Hultzen. I totally forgot Hamels.

We could also have Hamels 1.0 and I wouldn't complain one bit.

Unfair. Even if you keep Vargas or Noesi/Erasmo in there it's dirty.

Save the money on Hamels and go with Erasmo... But its very soon that we'll have a downright dominant rotation...

Why worry about saving money? 4 or 5 wins is 4 or 5 wins.

[FWBrodie]

Hamels is going to cost a fortune. Id rather sign up a bat in RF and let Safeco do the rest.

[Iansnightout]

What bat might that be Brodie?

[CamraMaan]

I highly doubt Hamels will be signing for less than a 6 or 7 year contract, and with the kids we have I would rather not lock up that kind of money that long into a starting pitcher, not when we already have a good 5th starter option. I mean I would love to have him in our rotation, but he will be looking for 7/150+ without flinching. He's only 29, so he might even try and lock up an 8th year, and maybe asking 8/200. Contracts these days on the top FAs are just ridiculous. I mean he's maintained a healthy career so far, but I just don't like going that far and that rich with a pitcher.

[FWBrodie]

What bat might that be Brodie?

Upton, Hamilton, Wright, in that order... without any kind of actual research into who's available.

[RC27]

could wright play SS?

[FWBrodie]

No. Wright's probably not ideal. We'll see how Seager finishes though.

[CamraMaan]

For those who are unaware or forgot (like me), Paxton is on the DL with a knee contusion. In theory he should be back soon though.

Fun stat: in his last four times to the mound Capps has gone a total of 7 2/3 IP with 16 Ks (0 ER, 4 hits, 3 BBs). There's gotta be someone in Tacoma that needs to come back to Jackson and switch places with Capps. Not sure what's holding him back.

[FWBrodie]

Everyone in Tacoma except Erasmo, Carraway, and Delabar is garbage.

[Seattle4Ever]

I hope you're just talking pitchers.
