TEX / PHI

As evidenced by his numbers Suter is not garbage. He keeps the ball in the park and gets solid results. It's probably not a trade I would make, but Bothwick does age over Spring Training so he's likely to fall down to about a 90 peak.

omg a career e.r.a. of 4.44 he is a fucking god among men.

Wow, looks like someone got a little too attached to the team he was supposed to look over. Because nothing of what I said suggested I thought Suter was great. His vitals aren't very appealing, so what? I know there's pitchers in this league with better vitals than him who get worse results. Suter has a career 0.75 HR/9 and that's very good.

Again, I don't think this is something I would do, but if I vetoed on that basis I would be vetoing a lot more deals. It's not terrible, Bothwick still has a lot to prove and Suter has been improving his numbers from year to year. If he stays in the low 4's ERA then he's a solid pitcher to have in the rotation.

Maybe, or I am just tired of teams picking everything off the new people. Who knows maybe you can pawn of one of your average players for one of his good ones and continue the trend. I know the next time I am going to trade for a spec my excuse will be, hes still got a lot to prove.
