Mark Reynolds dealt to the O's

For Kam Mickolio and David Hernandez. That's a low selling price for a guy with his skill set.

Very low.

Damn, we could have gotten him as our "DH of the future" for a price like that. Should we strangle the Arizona GM as well as the Washington GM?

Allot of power and Rbi's where added to the A.L. East this weekend. What a steal for Baltimore.

THey keep trying stuff like this, eventually something's gonna work.

[Will617]

This is a horrible package. Arizona's GM is awful. He gave up two excellent players in Dan Haren and Mark Reynolds for peanuts. Wish the Sox had cashed in on one of those.

Sounds to me like the D-Backs' commitment to GFIN back when they first came into existence is still biting them in the butt. That's a team in debt, my friends, and finances are going to dictate their moves for a long time to come.

 

On the other hand, they have hardware in the cupboard because of it and some of the most exciting playoff ball in baseball history, I'm pretty sure Zona fans still don't regret it.

They werent kicking themselves about this season, but if Reynolds puts up another sub .200AVG season in 2011, then he'd be downright untradeable. Their finances are in shambles and dealing him now for some pitching isnt a bad idea. But man, that team is gonna suck hard in 2011.

LOL Nice haul Arizona. Leads me to believe it wouldn't be so difficult to get Upton as well...

[jacksonianmarch]

Upton is different, in that he's under contract for awhile and is pretty reasonable. Plus, there are a lot less flaws in his game. Upton would take a prospect load that the sox currently do not have, so the Upton to Boston rumors should be dead. This Reynolds deal boiled down to those last 2 seasons at 11 and 12 mil respectively. Sounds like the DBacks cannot afford that
