Well at least he's out of the division now.
Can you still get saves when you are losing 8-3?
You GM has to work it now..... the answer is no btw.
Kimbrel will work on his Tetris high score.
he was a 1.5 win player last season, saw his FIP and ERA go up almost an entire run from 2014, and now moves to the AL east.
I am not worried about him whatsoever. I believe, he will do great in 2016
He'll be fine, as long as he avoid the walks, solo bombs happens to many, many relievers in this division.
He will do great if we fix first base, third base, our rotation. Possibly manager.
We can help you out with 2 of those things.

AL East isn't what it used to be

They also took B.J. Upton's shit contract for Kimbrel too.
It's better than ever. The time of the Red Sox and Yankees only having good players are over. The Jays and O's got excellent talents as well.
3 of the top 4 scoring offenses were in the AL east. And the park factors havent changed.

Sox couldn't have gotten one year of Chapman for that? Reds must be asking for the moon.
Chapman is also unproven garbage.
what? lol
I'm equally apprehensive of either pitcher going to a competitive team and expected to succeed.
Luckily, we ain't competitive!

Happy to have Estrada signed for two more years. Guy's a class act and a really solid pitcher, and had a very good year last year.
Hopefully he'll improve over the next two years and help us win.
I mistakenly thought the rumours were $24-26 mill per year, but as a total that's really good value in the MLB. He could've gotten more as a FA.

Kimbrel was involved with the 96 win 2013 Braves team.

Anthopolous would have fleeced SDP for Ross by now. Going to miss his big trades 
Yeah. I have more faith with him, but the point still remains. I think any team building a bullpen first makes no sense.
We have some time still. Dom better be a fucking winter meetings Pimp.
Why exactly? Nothing I've said is unreasonable.
Paying for a starter. I don't think they are going to trade for one.

Starlin Castro for Yoan Moncada incoming.
The issue is starting pitching. Then two fat fucking cunts with giant payrolls.

Can he play 1st tho?
The answer: Probably not. Although Cherington will look like a mad genius in retrospect if that works out.
That is photoshopped!

If the $$$ is there I don't see why not. He knows DD pretty well.
Although I would want to stay far away from the AL East if I were him.
The Cubs or Dodgers are gonna love him!
lol if he signs in Boston he's gonna be greeted with a chorus of boos for the next 7 years from TWO fanbases
or at least he would in Tampa if any non-Red Sox fans showed up to the games

I've never met a Mets fan who wasnt from NY. Yet I'm from Texas. Fandom is weird.
