I'm not sure at this point he would be better that what we are throwing out there now. We'll see how this works out.

We traded for him for minor leaguers. Ranger will be covering a chunk of his salary remaining.

Looks like a done deal. He better dominate for us, because I'm still pissed about the no-no he tossed a couple years ago.

Sounds like Lacy other unknown.

This could go a few ways.

Chatwood pen
Montgomery pen
6 man.

hint choose option 1

Honestly they have to ax Duesing now. Game over buddy.

His splits are better on the road

I vote Monty stays in the rotation, and Chatwood heads to Des Moines.

Personally, I have no desire to see a guy in the pen who can't throw strikes. Chatwood has no value as a reliever, IMO.

I am not giving up on him forever. But send him to Iowa and let him work on his control issues. Walking men when you come in from the pen has disastrous results.

2.93 ERA away from Arlington. That is a good sign. An he'll have a heck of a good D behind him. I know this isn't 2012 Hamels, but I expect it's also not 2018 Chatwood. As a cheap move, I like it.

I don't think Chatwood is a better bullpen option, but I bet you're right and they do ax Duensing.

Like the deal. Given his splits away from Arlington, looks like he could be real good down the stretch. Plus, it looks like the cubs got him for a bag of chips. Hopefully darvish can actually did something soon.

Maybe if you spent less time ogling Kyle Schwarber's bod and more time paying attention to what you're typing you could avoid these mishaps in the future.

Thank you for your compliance.
Every day you are trolling someone on this forum. Maybe you could get a life?
