If only Felix had played for a semi competent team and didn't need to be perfect in every game. Less high stress miles on that arm and he could have probably kept going for many more years.

Given everything I read about Felix he basically put 110% into his pitching no matter the scenario which is probably why he flamed out quicker than we would have liked :smith:

I have to remind myself which garbage player Jack Z traded John Jaso for.

It was Mike Morse, wasn't it?

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.

Spring Training doesn't matter, except in this one particular instance.

VLAD ROCKS.

I have never so badly wanted a player to live up to the prospect hype than I do with Vlad. Not even Travis Snider.

John Jaso started 61 games in the OF for Pittsburgh in 2017, his last major league season.

Sorry I'm late
The other funny thing is that the 2012 Mariners were so bad, Felix actually had the second highest OPS (with 3 plate appearances) of anyone on the team. #1 was Hector Noesi with his 4 plate appearances. Then Jason Vargas was #3. John Jaso comes in at #4 with 142. Next is Seager and Michael Saunders tied with 108.

Nah, that's who we got John Jaso for (a great trade in hindsight!), then we turned around and traded him for Morse.

This whole situation is weird with Jeffress blaming an agent he hasn't had for years. Jeffress was legit good last year and has a good track record so whatever teams are hearing must be pretty bad.

I really like CC but it's really loving weak that he let himself get rolled out like this by noted sexpest senior killler Andrew Cuomo.

Gov. Cuomo announced today that the New York teams can have fans in the stands. He's recently been accused of sexual harrassment/assault by at least 7 women, and is also caught up in a scandal over sending covid-infected patients to nursing homes and covering up the resulting deaths. Many Democrats in NY and nationally have called for him to resign. McMagic is saying that Mets and Yankees reps shouldn't be appearing with Cuomo at events right now since it looks like the teams are supporting him.

Yea I know the details, I’m just surprised they’d actually have reps there after all the stuff that’s been going on with him. Not too smart.

Seems pretty typical on Cuomo's part to put people on stage next to him who are popular and thus try to absorb some of their goodwill at a time when he's under fire

I'm similarly surprised that CC is allowing Cuomo to use him in this way

It's a photo op acting like everything is normal when the dude is in the middle of 2 horrific scandals. It's a very bad reading of the room by both the Yankees and Mets.
