2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

May I interest you in a Ryan Dempster, or an AL East-tested Matt Garza?

 

Or Brandon McCarthy or Zack Greinke, whom the Braves are also apparently interested in:

Out of those four, I'd rather have Greinke, who has a much better ERA and record.

 

Dempster's turning out a hell of a lot of quality starts with a poor ballclub right now. He probably has never pitched better.

 

I wouldn't be shocked if Garza wound up back in Tampa.

Why are the Brewers seemingly so antsy to trade Greinke?

 

He can become a free agent after next season, right? Maybe they're afraid they can't hold onto him beyond 2013, so they'll deal him for someone they can sign long-term.

 

Just seems that would be a guy they would want to hang on to and build around.

That ballpark is packed more often than not. Their days of citing cash-flow problems are done.

 

I thought the Orioles were supposed to be a pretty good team?

They are throwing the ball all over Camden and trail Weaver's Halos 11-1 after 4 1/2.

 

Greinke's a free agent after THIS season, not next.

 

OK. I misread the info on Baseball Reference.

 

First time James McDonald's allowed more than 3 runs in a start this year. If the bullpen holds it he should get the win and his whip still < 1.00.

 

A headcase like Greinke pitching for the Yankees? There is a disaster waiting to happen.

I'd want Dempster or Garza. McCarthy is hurt (again).
