EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 The deal is Todd Jones and Brad Correll for Anderson Machado and Ryan Hancock. Hancock I like but pitching prospects are expendable outside the big two. Machado doesn't look like he'll amount to much at this point, and the Phillies have Danny Gonzalez and Carlos Rodriguez at the lower levels, so they needed to make room. Jones is a step above Hernandez at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 My problem, with Machado, is it is just another example of them holding onto a prospect to the point where they become worthless and are traded for roster filler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GreatOne Report post Posted July 31, 2004 If that rumor--yes I know it was a rumor--had been true and there was a guarantee he'd resign I'd have had no problems sending the aptly named JJ PUTZ to KC for Sweeney. Yankee Stadium, it ruins Mariner pitchers for life (Putz, Meche). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 ESPN was talking a little bit ago about the Cubs trying to secure Cabrera from the Expos and then trade him and Clement to the Sox for Nomar. Could be an interesting turn of events. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crimson G 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 Bobby Ayala Al, you are never to speak this word of curse again. That goes for the rest of you, too. In no way are you to relate that he was ever worthy of any respect. He belongs in the gutter with guys like Jeff Cirillo. Also, the M's did make a trade to get rid of the greatest pinch-hitter (if not ever, then the best one the M's ever had) Dave Hansen for some no-name, AAA pitching prospect from the Padres.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 Charles Johnson has apparantly rejected the trade to the Dodgers. He probably doesn't want to leave the friendly confines of Coors Field, especially considering what his offensive numbers would look like if he were to do so.

Bored 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 Finley didn't switch leagues or even divisions for that matter. Of course this isn't the true deadline. Still plenty of lower level deals between now and the August 31st waiver deadline can happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 Well according to Jim Bowden on ESPNews, the Marlins were winners adding LoDuca, Mota, and Encarnacion (not bothering to mention how much they had to give up) and the Mets were big winners adding "two pitchers, in their primes who are only going to get better". Please help me here, if you are in your prime right now, can you get better? I thought your prime was your peak. And he didn't bother mentioning they gave up about 75% of their farm system in those deals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 There seems to be this weird myth among ESPN's "experts" that Encarnacion is a good offensive player and I can't really figure out why.
