Danks was also north of 5.0 fWar in '08... So he's right at 10 over the last three... He's rock solid mid-rotation guy... Not a bad deal at all.

"Gonzalez had some control problems last year, walking 91 in 202 innings for Oakland, but he limited the damage against him, holding opponents to a .336 slugging percentage -- seventh-best in the big leagues -- meaning that few hitters were taking comfortable swings against him. And Gonzalez now shifts to the easier league, where he can work through some jams by taking advantage of the presence of the pitcher's spot in the lineup."
"While it often makes sense to methodically build toward a championship window a couple of years down the road with a homegrown core, the current baseball landscape is such that the Nats could put a contending team on the field in 2012 -- and for years to come -- if they can land both Gonzalez and Fielder. That's why it's time to go all-in for the duo."
"Oakland gets a future ace, a starting catcher, a strong reliever who might be a back-end starter, and an up-and-down arm. Cole is the prize here, a potential No. 1 starter who ranked 36th on my midseason top prospects update and was the No. 2 prospect in Washington's system behind Bryce Harper. Cole is now Oakland's top prospect, sitting in the mid-90s with much better fastball command than he showed as an amateur. He acquired a reputation in high school for disinterest on the mound and fell to the fourth round of the 2010 draft, but he was a new man this year and many scouts felt in hindsight he should have gone in the first round. He's primarily fastball-slider now and needs to improve his changeup (and just use it more), as he had a big platoon split at low Class A Hagerstown. He turns 20 next month and is about two full years away from the majors."

"It's possible that a team could emerge in the Prince Fielder bidding, as the Angels did for Albert Pujols. But for now, it appears that several teams are waiting for the price tag to come down. Some executives say Fielder is looking for a 10-year deal, but the interest level for some clubs is closer to a six-year deal."

We'll just have to wait and see. Drew Stubby cuts his strikeouts down and we'll be right up there IMO.Originally Posted by FIRST B0RN

Wait. Im sorry if I am missing something. But are you saying that the key to your team being able to compete with the Cardinals is Drew Stubbs not striking out as much?Originally Posted by RKO2004

Best of luck to Gio. I hope he tears it up there. As far as the prospects we got? I don't care for it anymore. Just give me a damn stadium and hopefully people will start showing up. I'll be shocked if we don't lose a 100 games next year.
