Maybe Dalbec for Santana & Barlow.
-
BTV Trade: To BOS: Gibson (SP), Kennedy (RP), N Lowe (1B) To TEX: Downs, Dalbec, Groome, Ro Hernandez
-
I'd say yes. If Downs keeps struggling, he may never make the bigs.
-
Too much.
-
BTV accepted this trade, and all values came out exactly even: To BOS: Jon Gray & CJ Cron To OAK: Richards, Sawamura & $4M cash (out of $6.4M owed) To COL: Groome, Potts & Guldberg (from OAK) We could then trade for another RP'er.
-
No, and my idea is to not have him in the rotation unless there is another injury.
-
Upcoming roster moves (beyond any trades): It looks like Arroyo, Marwin & Santana might be out a while, so there's not much on the farm to bring up. Our 3 man bench is Plawecki, Chavis & Cordero. Theonly position players on the 40 man on the farm are: Arauz Wilson Wong (AA: Ro Hernandez, Potts, Rosario) (We could add Munoz or Ockimey, but I doubt we do.) It is likely we trade for a 1Bman or bench piece. Pitching: IL Sawamura, Andriese, Bazardo & Brasier Rehab: Sale (Seabold) Replace: Workman Rios Valdez (ERod to IL?) I think Sawamura for Workman is easy, as is Sale for Rios. I think we'll DFA Andriese (out of options), unless someone goes on the IL(ERod?). If we trade for a pitcher without trading away a pitcher, who do we demote or DFA?

We could give them Chavis in return... LOL!
-
Odor has actually done much better than I expected, but when you traded for him to make him a permanent fixture, I knew there was trouble in Yankee Kingdom.
-
I trust Sox management to know when promotions are due, but I always feel like I want players doing very well moved up quickly.
-
I've been very cautious on Houck, but the sample size is small or even tiny. (Houck has 5 PAs on 3rd time arounds.) I'll ask this: How do Perez and Richards do the 1st, 2nd and 3rd time around? I see Houck as an improvement or at least a possible improvement getting very near the point where we try and find out. Besides, my idea of trading Richards or Perez does NOT involve making Houck a starter. He remains the starter depth, just in case.
-
ERA is highly flawed. ERA- and ERA+ try to fix some of the problems, but even they are highly flawed. We are not saying the stat is meaningless or should not be a major factor in determining the value of any SP'er, but no stat should ever be used, by itself, to determine how good or bad anyone is or was. The value of going 6 innings vs 3, 4, or 5 is enormous, too. There's a reason they call 6 IP and 3 ER (a 4.50 ERA) a quality start. It's the 6 IP not the 4.50 ERA that makes it quality. Many of his other stats and metrics place him in the top 30 (a #1), 31-60 (a #2) or near the top of 61-90 (high #3). I'm not sure how this is viewed as mediocre. I can see calling a 4.40 ERA mediocre with no context added, but there is more to pitching than ERA.
-
We trade for a pitcher better than Richards or Perez, or we trade for a RP'er or 2 (or SP+ RP) and can move Houck to a starting role. It's not like he's never started before.
-
It's not about getting anything good for one of them. We may even pay some or most of what we owe one of them. The little money saved is added to what we have to spend, already, and in theory, we can get 1-2 players better than we could have before or 1more player than planned. We then trade for a a couple salary dump-type players- maybe 2 pitchers or a pitcher and 1Bman. When we add Sale and Sawamura, we end up with more pitching depth than before trading Richards or Perez. You can disagree with the idea, but don't say we are not adding depth.
-
We still could. -1 + 2
-
The plan is to replace Richards or Perez with Sale and use the money saved to trade for an even better pitcher and maybe 1Bman, too. Buyers and sellers.
-
Now, we are tied with Houston for the best AL record at 61-39 (.610). -1.0 TBR WC -1.5 CWS ALC leader -5.5 OAK 2nd WC other WC contenders -1.5 SEA -3.5 NYY -4.0 TOR -5.0CLE -5.5 LAA
-
A lot of players that were once viewed as black holes are doing much better or a little better. I also think Marwin and Santana being on the IL has helped the offense. I'm hopeful Arroyo can return and help, at some point.
-
I guess teams aren't waiting for the deadline. Adam Frazier to SDP for 3 prospects, including their #5.
-
Sounds like a good long relief guy.
-
Dalbec is 8th on the team in PAs. He was 5th in RBI, until Kike just passed him.

Arauz would be next. I'd even add Munoz to the 40 and call him up before Downs.
-
Is 4.4 sarcastic, too? I've told you over and over his ERA is 4.06, but you keep saying 4.4, over and over. Yes, 4.4 is probably mediocre, depending on other numbers, too, nut 4.06 is good, and some of his other numbers are very good. I think we did agree on what is good not about Porcello. Let's move on.
