PHILLIES SIGN ZACK WHEELER FOR A STUPID PRICE

What a dumb deal. 5 years? Zack Wheeler ain't Cy Young. He's not even Sonny Gray.

Zack Wheeler's your fifth starter with the hope that you don't need to pitch him every 5 days because to be honest, you don't really know what you're gonna get.

ESPN writes:

"Right-hander Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies are in agreement on a five-year, $118 million contract, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. Wheeler turned down a larger offer from the Chicago White Sox that was in excess of $120 million, sources told Passan. 

Wheeler, 29, was considered the prize of the free-agency class for teams in search of starting pitching that didn't want to compete in stratospheric bidding for Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg."

The prize?  Are we living in Bizarro World? Have you seen this guys numbers over the fast few years?

Zack Wheeler has never won 18 games. Zack Wheeler didn't pitch for 2 years. What's the prize, that's he's 29 and still has time? Is being "just OK" the next "Great" when it comes to baseball?

The Phillies can have Wheeler. Have him for the next decade. I am THRILLED the Yankees didn't get in on this.

Buh Bye.
