you getting pumped about Paul Skenes

YES !!

 

[Shortstop]

A starting staff of Skenes, Jones and Keller will be one of the best in MLB …

 

[FairWarning]

Skenes is making his first start Saturday vs the Cubs. Place should be rocking.

Too bad Pittsburgh has become the early 2000s version of the San Diego Padres

Remind you of Kerry Wood debut? Strasburg?

I don't know what that means

I don't know what that means

Arch, that was my exact first thought too!

@CASPERWAIT$ Archie and I would like a detailed explanation.

Padres early 2000s would have amazing prospects and then trade them or let them walk.

 

[Archie]

sounds like the pirates since I can remember

starting with Bonds, Smiley, Bonilla, Drabek ect

Remind you of Kerry Wood debut? Strasburg?

I was just thinking that there hasn't been a more hyped debut since Strasburg

 

[Archie]

anyone remember that amazing Aramis Ramirez trade to the Cubs?

 

[Tron]

I might AUTO FADE Skenes his first start

I'm not sure what to do here. He's given a 1.4 WAR value right now, but 3.3 when extrapolated to 200 innings pitched. I'm not even sure how he can be anything other than a 0 since he's never played in the majors, but ok.

If I use 1.4 the play is Cubs. If I use 3.3 it's a no-play.
