I didn't say that Sanchez was a bad pitcher...I simply said he doesn't help US in particular. We all know that our rotation is a little speculative, but given the prospect haul right below the surface, unpredictable is good and Sanchez simply locks in and ossifies a spot with a known, dependable, solid MOR starter level. I mean, he might add a win or two over the likely production we'll get from a guy like Vargas, but that's not going to fix the deeper problems with this team's reputation around the league and it won't make us more competitive. We needed a splash just to get people to stop saying we're not worth their interest. We needed a Hamilton or Greinke-level signature move to shake off the label around the league that we weren't interested in winning. And quite frankly, YES...*I* needed the Mariners to get someone REALLY big because I need some darned proof that they give even the tiniest care in the world about winning.
