I agree with you wholeheartedly that nobody could have predicted the TJ surgery and now this wrist surgery for Hicks, and to say NOW that this was a bad signing is insane...
And to those who disagree with that notion, fine but let me ask you this....... NOW.
Was the Gerrit Cole signing a good move? I’m asking this NOW because Cole will not pitch like this in his late 30’s. He’ll have to reinvent himself like CC did, and how many were frustrated with CC during those few seasons before he reinvented himself?
On a side note, I still think the Peralta trade was a good one. He has pitched well, and Tauchman isn’t doing so great in SF.
