Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4475369, member: 27"] Agree. 5 years for Jake is crazy. Texas did what Texas always does. Something stupid. Sounds like they were desperate and acted accordingly. I am much better off signing Verlander for 2 years vs deGrom for 5 years. Jake's health has been unreliable and I think the probability of him pitching significant innings well for 5 seasons is very small. Verlander is coming off a Cy Young season and should be good for at least one ace level season. We need good starters to fill the rotation for a couple of years until the farm system starts providing youngsters ready to step up and help out. Justin fits the bill well. Gotta get at least one more solid starter, 3 or 4 solid bullpen arms and a center fielder. Hope it is Brandon. There are quite a few good starters available and quite a few good relievers but the top priority is finding a two way center fielder. Hope that is the next thing addressed. [/QUOTE]
