Pedro might be the worst defender in the league and he hasn’t been producing at the plate like he should be, unfortunately. I don’t think they will trade him this season, there’s no market and they don’t have a decent replacement for him in the organization (that’s ready to go right now)
That Cueto trade might be sweet for the royals.
e: The cards are playing out of their minds, Buccs cut the lead to 4 after that amazing series in the burgh right before the break but then they came out and shit the bed and got swept in Milwaukee as the Cards won a series (at KC iirc) to drop way behind again. They are a better team than the Pirates simply because they win on the road and the Pirates haven’t quite figured that whole thing out yet. They own PNC Park but they haven’t been as good playing away.
I have no idea why the Angels traded for Victorino. I know they need a left fielder. I just figured they’d try to get Gonzalez from the Rockies. Maybe even Jay Bruce from the Reds. But Victorino? Really?
Lol at these shitty trades. Tulowitzki for Reyes, Victorino for Rutledge, seriously? I’m betting Hamels doesn’t get dealt, Phillies keeping asking for too much apparently.
everyone was goin HAM on the rockies instagram page last night
my favorite comment someone posted “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOUR 2015 MINOR LEAGUE COLORADO SPRINGS ROCKIES”
dont feel any better about it this morning. Tulo WAS Colorado, now rumors are they are gonna trade CarGo too.
looking at Napolis numbers, he had a 30 HR year in 2011. and he’s only 33. His numbers seem pretty solid, but he was playing at fenway for 3 years and didnt really see the explosion in power numbers most righties get.
He had a handshake deal to be notified if he was going to be traded, shit he even got in some at bats that game before they pulled him, weird rules. Not a No-Trade clause, Players have all the power like to deny the trade, but he wasn’t mad, just disappointed.
Time to go blow up alongside OAKLAND-walk up song WARREN G gon have to REGULATE, Donaldson doing so well this year and Jose Bautista insane power after age 33 leading the league in HR a year/2 ago.
