Casey Blake has a .903 OPS against lefties.
Erik Hinske has an .888 OPS against righties.
That platoon is nearly as productive of Jason Bay (.898) and won’t cost us the farm.

Unless Jackson is included, I would assume Tabata would be the main piece coming back
by Dbullsfan on Jul 25, 2008 8:10 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
no Jackson
The Pirates will get Jose Tabata, Ross Ohlendorf and two other prospects from the Yankees for Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte, SI.com’s Jon Heyman reports.
Pittsburgh came down off its initial price tag an awful long way then. Tabata still has very exciting potential and is incredibly young, but his wrist problem are scary and he’s looking like a headcase. Ohlendorf has never been a good bet to develop into anything more than a sixth- and seventh-inning guy. Pitcher Phil Coke is also believed to be in the deal, and he’s a true long shot to help.

by EminenceFront on Jul 25, 2008 8:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Bay is superior to Nady, wants to stay in Pitt, and I don’t really see them trading both this deadline unless someone blows them away.

Didn't Nady have the better contract?
With the better contract, I would think that he would be a more coveted target. With the prospects the Yankees gave up, maybe the Pirates would feel that they wouldn’t need as much now to unload Bay.
Desperate logic perhaps.

Saw him play in Sarasota against the Reds
Didnt look all that well to me … Maybe there was a legitimate groin injury though. I am not a doctor and he didn’t look like he could keep up. But that was before they sent him to AA for rehab on the groin. But I will say, even a hurt Baldelli on this team is better than Gomes is right now in RF and at the plate. I wasnt too optimistic that he would be coming back but I could be wrong. I would love to see him back but I will remain less than optimistic because I dont think we should count on it.

and his control was much better in his 1st start.
I blame DiFelice and the Pirates GM.

I was talking to my uncle (also a Rays fan) today and asked him what was more likely
complete game shut-out by Jackson or 10 runs from the offense. I think it is sad we both went with the complete game shutout

This team just needs a spark, it's a shame
by PeteFla on Jul 25, 2008 9:11 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
after seeing the deal today, it would be really sad if we can't get something done.
No use saving our future 8 or 9 man rotation, especially if it may only take 1 of them to get a decent bat
by Dbullsfan on Jul 25, 2008 9:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
We will see how dedicated the Rays are to winning if they make a trade for another hitter, if not then play-off's are not very likely

i posted this earlier
Casey Blake has a .903 OPS against lefties.
Erik Hinske has an .888 OPS against righties.
That platoon is nearly as productive of Jason Bay and won’t cost us the farm.
Jason bay has a .711 OPS against lefties.

There are glaring weaknesses. Yanks add these guy, Sox get Ortiz back – we cannot stand pat. Ray Charles can see how bad this lineup is against lefties.

even if it is just calling up price, I think the Rays need to do something soon.
like I mentioned earlier, it will be interesting to see how the teams responds if we don’t do anything. I fear they would get the attitude that the ownership is still planning for the future and that this year is just a bonus and we should just be happy with w/e
