Got to showcase him for a trade?
It would be the worse time to trade Ray. His value is lower now than when we acquired him.

Good call. I had seen the headline but didn't read the article. I wouldn't call him up. Even if he had a decent start he needs to work on his game before he brings it against major league players again. VerHagen would be my choice but it would be after seven days off.
VerHagen would not be my choice. He's not on the 40-man roster, which means juggling someone off it to make room for 1 start, and starting his FA clock.
Frankly I'd go with Ray or Miller for a spot start. It's 1 game and we have a decent division lead so I'd just hope one of them can eat 5-6 innings and give us a chance.
Fister 12-3 now.
I'd rather have him and then a good haul for scherzer
I was hoping if they traded someone it would be Max. Though now we get nothing for Max..and don't have Fister. And Price realizes this offense stinks so he'll leave after '15. JV might be continue downhill, Sanchez will keep getting injured and Porcello is the new #1.
I wasn't hoping they would trade anyone in particular, my hope was that if they traded anyone they would get similar production from a position of need. I would have loved to have traded a started and gotten a speedy lh hitting lf with a high obp. Someone like brett Gardner or Denard span would have been a better return, I don't have spans numbers handy and we'd need more than just him but equivalent production would have been nice.I was hoping if they traded someone it would be Max.

I think because once Max turned down the 144m we might as well get something for him (I forget that we get a pick) and we still had enough pitching. The Fister trade blows because the returned blows..But I'm all for getting some OBP guy though coming here it might automatically drop 50 points.
Back-pocket trades are rare. But this Fister trade has a long ways to go, before being ruled a failure. It was never intended for Ray to start in April-August of 2014.

So I've been annoyed about the continuous fister trade talk when there have been more pressing issues, but this article is too interesting not to bring up. His overall point meshes well with what I think of DD: he is obsessed with power arms and thinks guys with sub-90s fastballs are largely worthless.
