I think FW plans on making a splash beofre trade deadline

Another fantasy league Trade Uggla thread, disguised as legit deadline discussion. What a surprise!
 
It's much more likely to be what DOB speculated about: Boston's Andrew Miller, LHP who averages 14 Ks per 9 innings out of the pen. That is what sets up a monster second half.

Uggla for Soriano could work. Braves pay both salaries for 2014 about $15 mill Yanks pay Ugglas $13 mill for next year. Uggla could do well with change of scenery and short porch in NY.Soriano may benefit as role player back inNL

They do need a 2b.

But would they do it?

God, I hope not. Buehrle is just a few months away from becoming the next Jamie Moyer.

I don't get that dig. Moyer was a very good pitcher into his 40s and an acceptable pitcher in his mid 40s. Moyer from his 42-45 year old seasons was on average about a 2.2 fWAR pitcher, if we get that out of Buerhle the next 2 years for Uggla and Bethancourt that's a net win for the team. I'm not saying we make that trade but it's hardly the horror story you're painting and him becoming the next Jamie Moyer implies that he'll be a decent major league pitcher until he turns 46, then he'll kind of just stick around for a bit. Burhle has about a decade to go before that happens.

Lol, His audition has gone very well wouldn't you say?

I will also add he plays exceptional defense at one of only spots on the field where anything you throw in with the bat is just gravy.

Overall what he's done has been good I suppose, but again: When you can't hit, your true value is limited. If he were as good a hitter as he is defender (and his defense was the part of his game lacking), he'd be a top 20 prospect. Instead, he's no where close.

It's been good but he can't hit. Got it.
