I see it the other way around. Storen was completely dominant before Papelbon came aboard and has sucked in a set up role. It's like he suffers from reverse Tazawa disorder. That move was really puzzling to me.Remagellan said:Drew Storen has completely justified the Papelbon trade. You don't want any pitcher that emotionally fragile closing games for your team in the postseason as it always leads to heartbreak. (see Benitez, Armando)
I'm not convinced that Lester gets that start.SemperFidelisSox said:The wild card leads are so big for both teams that Chicago and Pittsburgh can now start lining up their rotation for Lester vs Cole in the playoff game. Pirates are already starting to do it. That game is going to be epic.
He was dominant in 2012 and 2014, too, then fell apart in the postseason both times. I don't blame the Paps trade in the slightest.grimshaw said:I see it the other way around.

Mets altered his contract apparently. They can now negotiate a contract extension with him before he hits FA.valentinscycle said:This Cespedes tear is like Beltran in 2004 after the trade to the Astros. Unreal.
Little too late he should have been fired during their slump in early august. Rizzo keeping Williams around may be a fireable offense though Williams will take the hit not himsoxhop411 said:Matt Williams won't make it to the end of September

The opposite - they can now continue to negotiate after he hits FA.

There's a good chance the first six eliminated will all be from the NL too, lot of meaningless Sept NL games this year.Gdiguy said:Of other note, it's also time for one of the best-written threads of the year, as the playoff eliminations have started (hopefully cannonball still has time this year!)

Oh, man. Imagine a one game Cubs-Cards playoff...canderson said:If no one has noticed, St. Louis is in free fall mode and Pittsburgh is now just 2.5 back.

Cool move: The #Athletics bring Barry Zito back to the big leagues where he could be making his final start against #SFGiants Tim Hudson

The Pirates announced that Kang’s surgery will keep him away from competition for an estimated period of six to eight months. That would seem to make a return late in Spring Training the best possible scenario.
The procedure that was ultimately required, per the announcement, was a “reduction/internal fixation of a displaced lateral tibial plateau fracture with a lateral meniscal repair.”

I thought this Jered Weaver/Kyle Seager situation was pretty funny. Seager kind of cockily keeps asking for time, deliberately holding his hand up to Weaver. Weaver obviously has had enough, and just plunks him
