Carrasco and Marson

aren’t posting very good stats this season, so it’s surprising that Meche and Bannister get mentioned in the same paragraph with them.

We already had DJ Carrasco

They’re trying to trick Dayton.

What about that Donald guy?

He's been crappy this year

And he’s hurt. He strikes out a ton and some question whether he can stay at short. But other than that he’s a good player.

We already have enough of those guys.

If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.

Looks to me like Carrasco

has been pitching very well since around May 17.

*You think I'm good* "You know, that Farnsworth is pretty good." *You will give me 9 million dollars* "So, Farnsy, how does $9 million sound?"

Something involving Banny for Marson???

We gain a long-term solution at catcher, Philly gets some stability in the rotation, nothing flashy but I could see Banny being even better in the NL.
