How do you lead the league in saves with an ERA like his and not get in?

Oakland doing God's work up there.

He's not better than any of the relievers selected to the all star game.
Saves don't mean shit.
The best closer in baseball since 2013 (Uehara) isn't even on the starter roster.

Machado 3 hits, double, homerun. not a bad night at the office

Holland and Rodney are not close at all. Holland has been dominating since last year.
Holland has a 1.93 era, 2.16 fip and is 1.1 war
Rodney has a 2.10 era, 2.35 fip, and is 1.0 war
Like I said, Holland has the edge but it's not big.
Last year is irrelevant. If it was, uehara would have been the top choice.
Why would last year mean shit? It's the 2014 All-star game. He's the crown jewel in the best bullpen in the AL.
Have you seen his stats for 2014? He's still the best closer this year.
18/19 converted saves. 1.30ERA, 0.74WHIP, 1.3B/9, 11.2K/9, 8.67K/BB
That's all-star numbers.
I've been saying that for years. It's really just the novelty of it.
He looks way, way, way less fat naked than in a uniform. Which is fucking BIZARRE
Doesn't he normally wear the Manny pajama uniform? He was another guy that people couldn't comprehend how jacked he was.
Yup, always has. Makes him look terrible.

I'm not even sure Jake Peavy would be an upgrade over any of our starting pitchers, even though our rotation has been hurt badly with Wacha and Garcia out. Maybe he's better than Joe Kelly? Judging by how Peavy has done this year probably not.
Unless there's another pitching injury we don't know about yet. But at that point let's just sign Barry Zito

If Peavy costs peanuts, might as well shore up some depth in case another pitcher goes down to injury. Plus, moving from an AL hitters park to a NL pitchers park will give Peavy's numbers a small boost.
Not interested if we have to give up any prospects of value though.

I saw something along the lines of Craig for Peavy + one. I can't imagine Boston would want him though.

On the one hand, that's selling low on Craig (BOS would obviously be hoping for a rebound). On the other hand, it frees up some payroll in the next few years and playing time for Oscar. I don't know how I would feel about that trade tbh.
Dude just needs to stay healthy and he will have an incredible career.
That's not Matt Harvey.

Beckett to the DL with a hip injury. Sucks.

Yeah, Craig for Peavy would be fleecing for sure. Rumors are that Boston is willing to take salary for a higher prospect, so that could be the plan.

Goodbye, John Buck.
Hello, Jesus Sucre.
McClendon works in mysterious ways.
edit: Buck got DFA'd on his birthday. Ouch.

I would hold out on trading Craig for Peavy of all pitchers tbh. I think once Kelly is back we wait till after the ASG to evaluate. Wait till teams are desperate for a deal. Maybe the bullpen becomes way too stressed between Cmart and Kelly pitching no more than five innings but for now hold steady.
I feel like Craig should only go if he's part of a package that nets Price since really one down half shouldn't condemn a guy to being Peavy-bait.

Well, it's really more that there's no room for Craig to be an everyday player with Taveras in RF and Adams at 1B. Craig would soon become an expensive platoon partner for Adams.
I'd only be interested in dealing him for Peavy +1 if the one is good enough, though.

Cole Hamels can be traded to LAD, LAA, STL, WAS, ATL, NYY, BOS, TEX, SD without his permission, sources tell @Ken_Rosenthal and me.
Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi
Hamels' no-trade clause allows him to block deals to 20 teams. The aforementioned 9 are not on that list and are free to acquire him.
so he is on the market...

Hamels is from Southern California, so not a surprise that he would allow Dodgers, Angels, Padres to acquire him.
