Not the stupid 12 year contracts teams give out, but a more reasonable length contract could work out

You give a 7 year contract and are thankful if you get 3 good years.

Pitching is hard and dangerous.

I would never give a long term FA contract to a pitcher if I were a GM

As valuable as a dominant pitcher might be, he's not an every day player.

I'll take a dominant EVERY DAY player in a hitter over a starting pitcher who doesn't even see the field more than what, like 20% of the season?

What good is 1 great hitter if your pitching will just give up the lead. Like previously stated, only 1 hitter can do so much.

Everytime someone goes out on the mound for us right now who isn't named Cole Hamels, I cringe because I know we're going to have to score A LOT of runs to win. Even Yu is struggling since coming back.

Yeah that's right, enjoy Hollywood Hamels baby.

Max Scherzer's deal is a Max deal.

I'll take someone who's going to play nearly everyday over someone that will play once every 5 days

What good is one great pitcher if you cant score any runs? Assuming the rest of your team is average is probably fair. Only 1 starter can do so much as well, and hes more likely to have a shorter shelf life and injuries.

Tough question if its including both playoffs and regular season.

Playoffs, a pitcher has more impact because the dominant ones typically pitch on shorter rest. MadBum won the world series for the Giants a few eyars ago.

But for an entire season, I will take a hitter.
