I feel so dirty for wanting clayton to opt out and go elsewhere but I am over the post season failure. Need to get that loser, mental midget mentality out of here.
He's not just a postseason failure anymore He's a shitty pitcher who gets worse by the day 30 M? No way Time to move on.
And when we get an alternative to Kershaw, whether it be the usual washed up retread band aid whose best years are in the rear view mirror, or moving our potential studs like Julio or whoever into the rotation, we can joyously call Buehler the ace. And that will gladden the hearts of the Kershaw haters. But whatever we do, whoever we get, is Roberts going to know what to do with them when push comes to shove ?
Let Kershaw walk Re-sign Ryu Let Grandal Walk DFA Kemp Trade Bellinger + to NYM for deGrom Re-sign Machado Sign Harper Sign Wilson Ramos Trade for Scooter Gennett Fire Turner Ward (scapegoat) 3B - Machado SS - Seager 2B - Gennett 1B - Turner C - Ramos LF - Harper CF - Verdugo RF - Puig 1. deGrom 2. Buehler 3. Urias 4. Hill 5. Ryu/revolving door
KeepKershaw.com Resign Ryu Let Grandal walk for a pick. Keep Kemp on ice in case something breaks and you need him for depth/DH in the WS. Resign Machado Sign Harper because why not. Don't sign any catchers. It is time to promote from within here. Farmer and Barnes can hold it down while Ruiz and Smith are ready. Trade Yadi Alvarez, Connor Wong, Joc, Taylor, Kike, Ferguson, Ross, Wood for DeGrom and Thor. Sign a reliever like Andrew Miller who needs to get back to form. Fire Dave for cause. RF: Puig 2B: Seager LF: Harper SS: Machado 3B: Turner 1B: Muncy CF: Bellinger C : Ruiz DH: Kemp PH: Freese OF: Verdugo UT: Lux C : Smith 1. Kershaw 2. DeGrom 3. Thor 4. Buehler 5. Urias RP: Jansen, Miller Baez, Maeda, Floro + whomever we can finagle from the trash heap or our minor leagues. Ryu and Hill are for emergency and start off on the DL just because. With this 7 man rotation you can keep all of your veterans nice and fresh without taxing your young studs. Even if you cant get Thor you are still good enough to win and you have enough depth to handle injuries anywhere on the team.
At this point, he just isn't that good. Fastball topping out at 90? That's terrifying. This is the one postseason where I won't even call CK a choker. His stuff has declined big time and it's only going to get worse. We don't need two Rich Hill's on the roster.
Can we send Bellinger to some kind of schooling for a few years? Dude could use a solid bump up in the IQ area.
After seeing Joc’s World Series success, I kinda like my hitters dumb. Hard to over think things when you ain’t thinking.
Revised CF - Verdugo RF - Puig (maybe. I think he's a good player, but for this organization, it might be worth letting as many veteranse go as possible to end this era) LF - Harper 1B -Muncy SS-Seager 2B- Gennett 3B- Turner C- Ramos NO Machado. No way. He's a cancer. Still would be sorely missing another RH bat though.
