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.

damn cock teases

Marte and Nady were rumored to be traded with Brignac not playing and they wind up in New York.

I hope Nady starts playing like he always did before this season which as far as I know is pretty crappy.

I'm going to change my MVP vote to Friedman

I think he gets a deal done tonight. The season so far has been a nice tease and I don’t think he will want to dissapoint by sitting back and letting the Yankees make this move Sox get back Papi without doing anything. Whether it is Bonds or just Blake, I think a deal gets done.

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.

So does this drive down Bay's price?

I would think that they may be wanting less for Bay now…

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

Why would it?

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.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 25, 2008 8:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

Their bullpen needed the help. Our bullpen needs the help. If no deal is made I am happy. But if the Rays want to stay contenders they need to pull the trigger on Blake.

You act as if I wanted Baldelli to fail.

I was told things didn’t look well, and I’m still not convinced he’s going to be that part, but don’t mistaken that for me not wanting Rocco to be healthy and playing because Rocco was one of my favorites when he was playing.

Of course he was everyone’s favorites, considering we only had 2-4 good players any given year.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 25, 2008 8:45 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

A's closer Street to Dodgers?

A new rumor regarding A’s closer Huston Street seems to surface daily, and Friday’s speculation du jour, courtesy of a scout working Oakland’s game against the visiting Rangers, had the A’s sending Street to the Dodgers for third baseman Andy LaRoche “and change.” LaRoche and Street both participated in pre-game warmups with their respective teams Friday night, though, so if a deal is indeed made, it wouldn’t be announced until late Friday night or at some point over the weekend. LaRoche, a 24-year-old right-handed hitter, is batting .214 with two homers, three RBIs and a .333 on-base percentage in 26 games with Los Angeles this season. Also said to be interested in Street, among others, are the Reds, Rays and Brewers; those same three teams and a handful of others have reportedly kicked the tires on the availability of A’s lefty setup man Alan Embree.

I thought you guys might get a kick out of this.

My friend who has made fun of the Rays all of his life now considers himself a die hard Rays fan. Me and him are watching the game and he tells me how great Jackson is with control. I laughed hard and told him he must be joking, and he was serious. Then I said wait till David Price comes up, he’s better then Jackson and Sonnanstine as a starter RIGHT now.

Then he says, "Sonnanstine? What are you talking about? I'd put him as no .2 in the rotation behind Kaz."

I smiled and said, “Based on what?”

He says, “Dude, he has 10 wins, that’s all that matters.”

Basic moral of a story: Look for signs of a bandwagoner.

not much, unless we get a closer (Street, Fuentes) I don't see us getting another arm.

we have guys like Juan Salas, Dale Thayer, and Jeff Niemann in the minors that could be used 6th inning.

Not too much.

He’s an upgrade over Miller, but I read Moore had to be blown away.

I'm a little surprised he never got an extended look in the majors.

But I would think you’d have to try Dan Johnson/Ruggiano first.

Joel Guzman

We play him at 3B, his bat isn’t good enough for DH, will he ever see the majors again for us?

by joeybw on Jul 25, 2008 10:33 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I would rather Richard than Johnson

Richard can be used in more situations defensively and I would like to see what he could do in the majors, he hasn’t had a shot in like 5 years.

latest dumb move by the Mariners

Brandon Morrow should be a SP, I agree there but why the hell are they making him one now? Let him play out the season as a closer and then in ST, making him a SP instead of hurting 1 of there best arms.

they may just leave him in AA.

I don’t know how important minor league races are to organizations but two of Durham’s best hitters Dan Johnson and Chris Richard both play first (other DH). I don’t know if they would take one of those bats out of the line-up for a rehab situation. I don’t really see AAA helping a guy like Baldelli out as much as it would say Price (A young pitcher having to face more experienced hitters)
