Yes, somewhat, although that could just be about looking at match ups. Third/fourth starters or pretty interchangeable. It could also be about giving different looks in your rotation. He gives a slightly different look sandwiched between Flaherty and Wacha. [Reply]

I watched Hudson's last two appearances and he looked great. [Reply]
CBS MLB top 100 player list for coming season...Always a lot to critique...Bryce Harper at 42? Josh Donalson at 62? Cardinals on the list, DeJong, Flaherty, Mikolas, Goldy, Carp and Molina show up. Pham and Piscotty as well. What a stupid move the Pham deal continues to be both financially and talent wise.

The Pham deal cost the team the second WC last year and will hamstring them again this year. Mo will give 5/25 to any 2-3 WAR n00b and told Pham to fuck himself. He's a clown [Reply]

You can troll all you want, he was costing us peanuts, played decent defense, and delivering solid power and on base numbers. If Mo had any balls we would have Pham, Bader and ONeill in the outfield this year costing us pennies. [Reply]
