last year maeda was a 1.1 war pitcher and he got what, 2 years at $14M per? last year flaherty was about 0.8 war and got 1 year at $14M. if flaherty keeps it up, he might be a 4 war player. so probably over $22M per year, and could depend on length of contract
I'm not totally writing him off. I was rooting for him, but I have suffered a profound loss of confidence that he is going to be able to do it. But if we're talking about an alternative, I think Colt is it. I could see Jung, too, tho.
the talent on the team is severely limited. that is the problem. we can debate who is to blame for that but swapping out the coaches is unlikely to mean ****
I personally don't understand the 6:40 start, either. It's not like there aren't a bunch of people coming in from the suburbs. The extra 20 minutes to get into the park made a big difference.
