8/12 FRIDAY MINORS FINAL: 2 HRs for Riley, Dermeritte

[UNCBlue012]

I can't say I'm surprised at this statement after all...your user name gives you away pretty quickly...

I do like UNC still, but I made this username about 10 years ago - I'm a UNC Charlotte graduate now! That's where my true alliance is.

It's really the Rays front office people that deserve to be fired for that trade I think. The Pads got good talent in return in Myers in that trade. The Rays straight up got fleeced while the Nats made out like bandits.

Best player moving in any direction in that deal - and San Diego still doesn't have a SS yet.

They didn't have a 1B before Myers either. Anyway, way too early to make that statement with Myers having almost 4.5 WAR with a fair bit of the season left and Turner having done nothing in his career yet. I'd definitely call the Nats the winners of that trade, but I can't say the Padres really lost anything yet. I'm a big fan of Turner as a prospect, but he's going to have to be a hell of a SS to be more valuable than a 5ish WAR 1B.
