Yanks would NOT be interested in Milton.

Yep, my bad. Got the names mixed up.

Yep, at this point that might not be a bad idea, you could always put Sarloos in the 5th spot for the time being, he can't do any worse than Milton.

You can't be serious.

I think Milton has pitched fine this year.

 

 

You probably think George Grande doesnt talk to much either, do ya?

16 innings pitched, 4.32 ERA, 11 K, 3 BB.

 

I don't care how much money he's making he's our number 5 starter and for a number 5, that's good.

 

And for the record that 4.32 ERA is .68 under his lifetime ERA.

 

Do you think he's not pitching well?

The reds are averaging 3.3 run a game that Milton pitches.

 

For the record, Mr. Amazing, Harang, is getting 6.00 runs a game. Give Milton 6 a game and he is 3-0.

Trading Milton would be a great idea. We need some relief in a hurry, at least until Majewski and Bray return.

....which is higher than what they are scoring for either Arroyo or Lohse.

I 'm not following?

Why would the Yankess even want to think about Milton? He's got the worst ERA of any starter the past two seasons and he's owed about $8mil for the rest of this season. I think the Yanks will take their chances with P Hughes and possibly the Rocket.

 

I don't see the Rocket landing in the Bronx. It's not the ideal "winning" situation right now. He's a better fit for Boston at this point in the season and Houston will always be a viable option.

 

I don't think the Yanks are going to rest their season on the shoulders of rookies right now. Too much pressure to win. That's why I think Milton is an interesting option for them.

What makes you think the Reds want to give up Milton?

 

Do you think that Milton is even in the Top 10-20 of pitchers they would make a run at?

What makes me think the Reds want to give up Milton? Let's see...He has a record of 8-12 at GABP the last two seasons with ERA's of 6.22 & 5.38 the past two seasons. He also leads the universe in HR's allowed and he's overpaid.

 

Would you keep him? You seem to think this is his turnaround season. He's a pitcher with a 4 more wins than losses for his career with an ERA of 5.00. Yeah, he's a solid 5th starter.

 

As for him being a Top 10-20 pitcher, no he's not by any means. However, if you're Wayne Krivsky, don't you at least make the call to shop him around while he's descent??? That's the argument here.

Yes I do keep him.

 

I said nothing of a turnaround season, i said one thing...... He's pitched fine this year, he has. Do you not think so?

 

He's been hurt the last two years, so those numbers mean nothing to me.

Hurt. What about his career numbers? Has he been hurt for 12 years? :lol:

 

If you think a (0-3) record with a 4.32 ERA this season is fine, despite the ru support, then that's your claim. No way and he will only get worse.

so is Arroyo having a bad year? He's 0-2?

 

I appreciate you telling me that you think he's having a bad year, b/c that let's me get out of this discussion knowing what I was up against and knowing stopping now will just avoid a headache.
