Link?ESPN reporting its a done deal.
That was put out while sucking the SEC's c0ck and jerking off Lebron at the same time.
Of course they make bad moves. I just tend to trust them more than the baseball people on this board.
Of course, like other trades that have been made recently nobody will have a mea culpa and say how wrong they were. I will just take my shots now.
We can re-write history. We didn't get him. Therefore we are operating in a universe where that has no bearing on the evaulation of the deal.
The three pitching prospects the #Marlins would be receiving from #Dodgers are Jeff Brigham, Victor Araujo, Kevin Guzman.
That sandwich pick 35 worth what...2.5 -3mill?
Thats not the whole story. Since he was drafted all of the prospect guru's reported that scouts worried about his durability thanks to his funky delivery and that was when his curve was a show me pitch. On top of that he's been losing velocity and ended last season with a strained forearm, which is typically a precursor to TJS.
@Evan_P_Grant: FInal deal and its a doozy: Matt Harrison, Alec Asher, Jerad Eickhoff, Nick Williams, Jorge Alfaro & Jake Thompson for Hamels+Diekman+Cash.
Going to bed. Hopefully I'll wake up and it'll all be a bad dream
It's thethe, what do you expect?
His mantra changes depending on what the FO is doing.
Trading guys that strike out? Speed and contact is the future. Peraza is awesome.
Trade for pitchers with TJS? Great value. No way the Braves could get him if he wasn't hurt.
Trade Wood and Peraza? Wood is going to get hurt soon. Peraza isn't the player a 30 year old cuban with no MLB experience is.
Going with the hypothetical that Wood hs TJ again despite how rare it is for guys to have twice, he misses a year. That still doesnt mAke trade worthwhile.
The market value of that pick Is probably $5m or more. It's an important part of the return. The Dodgers basically bought the 74th pick for around $2m last year.
It's gonna be hard to find a Wood replacement. Not to mention he was one of the only guys who could go deep into games. He was really starting to come into his own, attacking the zone through the back door. Hart got stiffed in this deal. No bones about it.
Huh? Then, again, our FO is dumb. Because they made both deals. We don't live in a universe where only one of them happened, we live in this one.
