Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

[thethe]

Cahill has not been good for the majority of his career. He's not as bad as his ERA but he walks WAY too many batters for how few Ks he has. Guys who walk 3.5 batters per 9 cannot K 6.17. His only redeeming quality is as a groundball pitcher sometimes those walks get negated, the downside is as a ground ball pitcher you let more hits fall so those walks can be amplified (like we're seeing this year)

Sure, highly unlikely he is a really good starting pitcher but I think a mid rotation innings eater is still possible.

Certainly seems that way. I still believe in Cahil though. If you let him start 20 games I think he will get it together. Just slight mechanical issue with his arm slot that is correctable.

Again, as reported previously, #Dodgers getting major-league pitching in deal. Would expect that Cahill and/or Stults is involved.

Calling Cahill and Stults major leaguers an oxymoron?

Ah yes - another to add to the list. "New Jersey has the best food trucks"

Never said best. Best for when you're really ****ing drunk and want to consume a ton of fat. Just google fat darrell. While it won't be to the normal results you get when you use "fat" online, it will clue you in on the insanity of the grease trucks.

No more like number 5 cannon fodder for a bad team.

Hard to argue based on what we've seen so far.

My high school team wouldn't give him 20 starts.

It's been the story of his career though. He's been hurt or not very good. He's had 2 seasons over a 2 fWAR. Overall on his career he's been just above replacement.

Anyone else find it odd that there are still no details on the other names?

Still probably working on the details at this point.

I think they may be exploring a larger scale deal with more significant pieces.

Yes, very.

Has to be confirmed by league office? Did I read that? Means money moving around? Hope we get a draft pick or intl bonus $

Downtown Manhattan has by far the best food trucks.

Disclaimer: I've never had food trucks in any other city in the world but I'm still right.

I've thoroughly researched this issue. And you are wrong. Senior Sisig of the Bay Area (Filipino tacos) has the best food truck in the world. Bar none.

One review.

Supposedly the deal is done

Because it's gonna involve JASON HEYWARD COMING BACK TO THE BRAVES IN A SECRET 4 WAY TRADE THAT REUNITES LOST LOVERS ANGELOS AND MARKAKIS!

Extremely. I wonder now if the Braves aren't moving Cahill AND that draft pick.

I don't find that likely. Probably waiting approval?

HOw does that work? Do they have to submit the principals to the league office? Can it be amended at all when its in its finalized state?

As far as I know, all trades have to go to commissioners office before being "final" but the components of the deal have reportedly been settled. I'm just shocked nobody knows who it is

[nsacpi]

Commish gets involved if money above a certain amount (I believe it is 1 mil) changes hands.

I think trades always have a commissioners approval, but I believe only if 1M or more exchanges hands can he veto it. I think if it's just player for player he'd need some kind of unprecedented knowledge of foul play to veto it.
