Anyone know if Jason Vargas is a good pitcher?

Like the Rays give jobs to really horrible human beings like Delmon Young (DUIs, domestic violence charges, various other felonies) and Josh Lueke (rapist) since they're effective in the roles they're given (usually) and the Rays can get a discount for their services since their reputations scare other teams away.

Lmao, somebody should make a "Moneyball 2" with Rays carefully spending their money to get discounts on asshole players that nobody wants.

Lol, that'd be something. If the Rays somehow acquired A-Rod and Ryan Braun for cheap it could definitely happen ;D.

It looks like the Royals will lose Santana so either one of our young guys like Duffy or Yardano Ventura is gonna have to step it up or Vargas is gonna have to give us what Santana gave us last year. Our GM also thinks that he can be a mentor to Duffy since Duffy is a young left-hander.
Losing organizations like the Royals take the "nice guy" approach and talk about mentors and "leaders in the locker room" and "character guys". GM's for winning teams probably don't even talk about that, lol. Like Jeff Francour was supposedly a great "locker room guy". LOL

Anyway back to Vargas though. I personally think the Royals kind of overpaid by giving him 4 years (3 would've been better, just saying) but he should good for the Royals while he's with the team. I would keep an eye on his health during Spring Training though as his 2013 season was kind of derailed by a blood clot in his armpit.

Lol Josh Lueke is an absolute nobody. I know you like to hate but lets not act like he's some intricate part of their team.

I'm aware that he's not exactly the team MVP or anything but there is something to how he's been able to keep his job for so long.

Yeah, well sadly enough big businesses don't care about your off-field conduct as long as it's not hurting them in the PR department. Lueke is a talented kid "stuff-wise" so he's gonna keep getting opportunities.
