According to MLB.com’s T.R. Sullivan, the Reds may pursue Rangers’ outfielder Nelson Cruz to replace Ken Griffey Jr. in right field.

(Jays play Yanks/Sox 21 times down the stretch, and only play us 6 times)

good point
Maybe Jays should get Bay afterall
Yankees gotta play Angels with Texiera 9 more times also
I liked seeing JP/Bal/Wheeler/Percy but I also would like Starter 6 innings JP/Bal/Percy
and Ludwick’s bat in our line-up.
At some point if we don’t score runs we will see more of Hammell/Miller than Wheeler/Percy
Re: Lannon
He sucks. I have seen him pitch thrice and he got shelled every time. He only looks good compared to the rest of their staff.
Ignorance.
Look at his peripherals, look at his age, and for fuck’s sake don’t credit your own subjective “the three times I saw him he sucked!!!” opinion over the numbers.
He’s a rookie putting up a 126 ERA+ with the worst offense and defense in the Majors backing him. And he’s 23.
You’re wrong.

“1:39 p.m.: Just spoke to someone in Tampa, and the Rays are not necessarily out of this, contrary to much else that is being said.”
Pirates probably shot us down when they thought the Manny 3-way deal was still on
TAMPA BAY RAYS: 2008 CITRUS SERIES CHAMPIONS
Pirates: HAHAHHA, SUCK IT TAMPA, WE GOT A BETTER DEAL.
Marlins: I can’t work with these people
Red Sox: Can’t work? you’re not being reasonable…..you should be including Ron Jeremy with the amount you’re trying to f**k us.
Pirates: HI! Andy! How nice to speak with you! I was just kidding before! I so funny.
Those on-again, off-again Jason Bay-to-Tampa Bay talks are back on, according to a source familiar with the discussions. The two sides have been so far apart that it appeared they’d given up on each other as of early Thursday afternoon. But the source said they’ve closed that gap somewhat and are still talking.Tampa Bay has hinted its willing to structure a package around pitcher Jeff Niemann and shortstop prospect Reid Brignac, but the Pirates have been seeking one of their elite pitching prospects—Wade Davis, David Price or Jeremy Hellickson.
Talbot and bukkake

I don't get it
Niemann had a sub-2 ERA in July. I would think this is the more likely guy that they would be getting. They are just being greedy at this point cuz they still have 90 mins.

Exactly
You’ve got to call their bluff. If they want more pitching then you throw in Hammel (who was a pretty decent starter) or maybe Talbot. But you don’t give them Davis or Hellickson just because they say they want it. If they want Brignac (which they do) then they’ll take the deal.
The artist formerly known as TonyT
ESPN’s Jayson Stark reports that the Jason Bay-to-Tampa Bay talks are back on.
Peter Gammons reports that the Pirates will hold out for Wade Davis over Jeff Niemann. The Rays probably will have to give up Davis, Jeremy Hellickson or Reid Brignac as part of a package for Bay. The Jays and maybe the Cardinals are also still in on Bay.

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Mets are discussing reliever Luis Ayala with the Nationals. Omar Minaya “badly wants a reliever.”

Haha, Minaya's gonna get punked.

I root for the two worst teams in baseball, non-ironically.
rglass: In defense of Jim Bowden
Chad Cordero for ??1.) Cordero is a loss, but it’s hard to predict someone is going to tear their labrum. I suppose this one is a demerit for Bowden, but not a thoroughly inexcusable one.
Alfonso Soriano for ??What good deal has he made? Signing Christian Guzman, Dmitri Young, or Ronnie Belliard?
He’s gone either way. That’s what happens when the feds investigate you for stealing from your own players.
2.) Soriano – this is ALL MYTH. People outside the loop on the Nats always get this wrong. There were NO GOOD DEALS on offer for Soriano at the 2006 deadline. The Mets were offering Phil Humber, and that’s the BEST that was out there. Rather than give Soriano away for bullshit lowballing, Bowden made inestimably smarter move of keeping him and taking the draft picks, which turned into Josh Smoker and Jordan Zimmermann. Zimmermann in particular is kicking major ass in the minors, and is part of the reason why the Nats have so much great pitching potential in the pipeline. This was absolutely the right move on Bowden’s part, and nobody familiar with the reality of the situation thinks otherwise.
3.) Good deals? Well, you have to judge deals by their quality at the time they were made, not based on what developments – unanticipated by both parties – happened later. This is the only fair standard. And on this measure, the following were all incredibly good deals: Kearns/Lopez/Wagner for Gary Majewski/Bill Bray. Snelling/Fruto for Vidro/massive $$$ relief. Milledge for Schneider/Church. Dukes for nothing. Signing Belliard and Young off the scrap heap. Flores – the catcher of the future – AS A FREE RULE V PICK, just an insane steal.
Moreover, the Guzman resigning is impossible to fault. Since Guzman got LASIK surgery and his shoulder repaired, his TTL is much higher than that of the guy who had a legendarily bad 2005 when he was both blind and hurt. His numbers in 2007 and 2008 are much more accurate. Thus getting paid league average for two years (short time frame) is actually quite fair, especially given that the Nats have absolutely NOTHING in the system at SS. Belliard was a great pickup and it would be nuts to fault Bowden for re-signing him at 2 yrs/3.5 million dollars. What, like that’s expensive for a guy who can supersub, start, and give you a decent bat? Young’s re-signing was more money than I would have preferred, and was thus worthy of criticism, but you have to realize it was done as an insurance policy against the likelihood (since borne out) that Nick Johnson would get injured and go on the DL. Still, I think this one is the one you can attack the most, although again deals need to be analyzed in terms of the alternatives on offer.
I have no defense for the Rauch/Bonifacio deal. I think Rizzo drove that one (he was Arizona’s farm director before becoming Washington’s), but still, the return was far too low.
So in summary, you don’t know what you’re talking about w/r/t Bowden’s moves with the Nationals. That’s okay, since you’re not a fan and you’re not expected to. What I’m saying, however, is that dismissing him as a bad GM is ITSELF retarded, and suggests that you really haven’t been paying attention over the past three years. He has, quite the opposite, been solidly above-average as a GM, especially when you consider the obscene budget restraints he’s been forced to work with.

It was a response to a post in the other thread, right before it got closed down
I didn’t expect it to get that long, it’s just that when you defend Bowden you have to correct a lot of the snarky conventional wisdom out there about him.
I won’t defend his work in Cincinnati, or his faults. But he’s NOT a terrible GM, and his track record since 2005 is actually one that any fanbase would be happy with for the most part. Some of his gambles haven’t paid off, but they were all smart gambles that we applauded at the time.

don't you mean intelligence restraints?
He’s a tools whore who trades for the sexy athlete. He’s had a hard on for Wily Mo Pena that goes back as far as my boner for Alyssa Milano. He gave Guzman 4/16 deal that is only now looking like it was worth it into the 3rd year of the deal. Getting Flores for free was an easy risk for a crap team to make. The Mets couldn’t make room for him – their loss.
by Jason Collette on Jul 31, 2008 2:23 PM EDT up reply actions
I disagree with most everything you've said
I do follow the Nats because I live here. I have two aunts that have seperate season tix packages so I go to the games.
Bowden is awful. He has made NO GOOD DEALS. You can’t say the Kearns/Lopez deals were good. Neither of those players ever were good or will ever be good. Not trading Cordero was a HUGE mistake. What good is a 40 save guy on a 90 loss team? Not trading Soriano was a huge mistake. Considering the complete lack of talent in the system, I don’t trust them to draft the right guy or develop him.
Flores was a good move. I will give them that. Why sign the other two catchers then?
Signing a fat firstbasemen who can’t move and has diabetes to an extension is not a backup plan. That’s an exit strategy.
You also didn’t address the situation with Dominican players.
Who has Bowdin brought in that they could hang their hat on? They lucked out with Zimmerman and that’s it.
I cheer for the Nats and that is why I hate Bowdin!

Jonah Keri: (2:15 PM ET ) Apparently the only person who knows the score is Manny himself.
But you were off by a bit, Manny. Since all the Ramirez talk started, I’ve had two theories on why the Red Sox are floating his name out there and heating up the trade talks:
1) To placate the Boston media and leave Manny swinging in the wind.
2) To c*block the Rays from getting Jason Bay.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Jays’ bid for Jason Bay consisted of one phone call in which the Pirates asked for something so excessive that no further talks were needed.
Shaun Marcum and Travis Snider? The Rays might be the only team with a chance of landing Bay at this late date.

well we are neither so far
but at least we aren’t sellers.
Although selling Zambrano for Kazmir was kinda cool….
But Kazmir has off-the-field issues!
and they can fix Zambrano’s arm in 10 minutes!

From this point on, I positively WANT my incoming pitchers to be genial stoners.
I think it would probably help them to have a nice positive can-do attitude.
I root for the two worst teams in baseball, non-ironically.
Thanks
Maybe you can answer me, why isn’t Jarrod Washburn being traded?

Alright, how about a logical explanation why the M's want TWO premium prospects
for Raul Ibanez?
TAMPA BAY RAYS: 2008 CITRUS SERIES CHAMPIONS
If I may say
Schumaker is a nice little player, I have to think that he’s goes if they get Bay.
by JI on Jul 31, 2008 2:49 PM EDT up reply actions
Cards want him
but that wont matter much, there only chance is to trade Rasmus, which they will not do. They will trade him the same day we trade Price.
its still who the Bucs want
We can get away with keeping our top 3, cards would have to deal their #1, as would the Jays.
Cards get – Bay/Wheeler
Rays get- Ludwick/Grabow
Pirates get- Brignac, Chris Perez, + type b prospects
Except that Ludwick is one of the very best player in baseball
and trading him for Bay is a huge downgrade.
by JI on Jul 31, 2008 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree but for some reason they really like Skip Shumaker
and Ludwick doesn’t play everyday as it is.
Schumake can get on base ok
and he plays outstanding defense.
That’s a nice little player while he’s cheap.

Didn't forget the reply button
but now the post is too far up.
Whats the idea with Ludwick
Rays Get: Ludwick
Pirates Get: Brignac, Some decent cardinals spect
Cards Get: Bay
?
I think we are gonna go for Bay and Grabow
I just mentioned this above
if we can end up with Ludwick and Grabow. I would deal Brignac, Wheeler, Perez
Listening to Tompkin on XM
saying the Rays and Pirates are getting close.
saying a deal could be possible without the rays giving up elite prospects

Wasn't this dead?
A team will need to dramatically upgrade it’s offer before the deadline if Brian Fuentes is going to be dealt, ESPN’s Jayson Stark reports.
The Red Sox, Yankees, Mets, Cardinals and Rays are among the teams that have been chasing Fuentes.
they can
but the D’Backs can’t be this bad.
Offense is good enough and any team that has Webb and Haren scares me. Too bad for them Owings forgot how to pitch.

Any minor trades lurking?
Anything going on with lefty relievers?
Braves asked for a pitching prospect.
Red Sox declined. Why aren’t we fishing anyone?
by knoxvillerayfan on Jul 31, 2008 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions
why again are we totally against having 5 straight lefties in the line-up
LH- Aki, CC, Pena, Dunn, Hinske
RH-BJ, Longo, Bartlett
SH-Navi
From my research on BTB the idea of equality in lineups is a myth.

Of course it is...
All it does is allow for LOOGYs but how often is that happening
too make it look like we aren't completely enamored by Bay and make Cincy come calling

I don't think they are...
It just isn’t ideal. Dunn doesn’t add what Bay would. Dunn replaces Floyd and still means Hinske/Gross/Gomes in right. Bay goes into right and allows a DH platoon.

Not a big trade but can we please move one of
Dan Johnson
Chris Richard
Elliot Johnson
Ben Zobrist
Joel Guzman
Andy Cannizaro
that is 6 infielders in Durham not including Reid Brignac. It wouldn’t be big but cant we move one of those guys for a minor league arm or cash or something.
A trade like that is more likely to happen in the offseason...
None of those guys are going to help a team right now unless they are part of a larger move
