M-Pops's picture

The psychology of this deal is vastly more interesting to me than the SABR/WAR route.
Did Z jettison Fister befor he caught the current M's loseritis? What about Fister's game is so volatile that he would stand to lose value in the future? Was Fister really just tricking batters this season?!
Z is, unfortunately for the Mariners, running out of time. The higher ups need to begin turning in better looking spreadsheets to the board and I am sure that Z knows this.
He sold low on Fister. It was a shrill move coming off a damning losing streak.
Verlander, scherzer, fister, porcello, turner...almost as good as the rotation the M's used to have :-(
