As for Cole, guys are tripping. Some of our fans here are way too conservative, even in basketball. They want to wait for a guy to get good BEFORE we trade for him, so his value is at his peak. We gotta project.
If Cole has that ability and has had an off year and the price is cheaper, then we gotta go for it. It sounds like the Yankees organization knows this guy and his stuff. Drafted him first a while back before he went to UCLA. If we're confident in him AND we wait for him to rebuild himself, then we run the risk of paying through the nose for him. That's how we got Didi, Hicks, even Castro. Didi, in particular, was not good for a while but the Yankees chased him for a long time before we got him and rebuilt him. Problem is, right now, Cole's price is high. Guessing Pirates feel comfortable waiting and letting him rebuild his value, and if it does, it gets higher, when it's the trade deadline, teams are gearing up for the playoff push and Cole is at a 3.00ish ERA. No easy decision to make, but we don't get to have security and a cheaper price.
lmao..
uhh no political meaning meant
