Boon 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 Even if the Sox don't sign Schilling [which they might] Gabbard is still behind Beckett, Matsuzaka, Wakefield, Lester and Buchholz, and that's assuming Masterson and Bowden don't develop further. They've already got spot-starters in Hansack and Pauley- Gabbard had NO spot on this team. I missed it- did Salty and Dotel to the Braves get finalized?

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 I don't like getting rid of Gabbard, at all. Are you serious? Gabbard is nothing more than filler. He has no future in the Red Sox rotation at all. They just sold high on a guy with a couple of fluke outings. It appears now that Engel Beltre, a 17-year-old phenom in the Sox organization is included in the deal as well. He has as much upside as anyone but he's probably five years away. There's no way to know what the chances are that he'll develop into a star major leaguer. The Yankees have no one to blame but themselves for not getting Gagne. Olney says this could have had him for Melky Cabrera. We would have to give up Cabrera, Marquez, Horne, or Kennedy and all the Red Sox gave up was Gabbard, Murphy and a teenager, and you're saying that the Yankees have no one to blame but themselves? Get the hell outta here. Same shit happened with Arizona. They wanted Soriano AND Nick Johnson for Schilling, and I forget what Boston gave up but it wasn't close to that.

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 No they could have had him for Cabrera alone. David Murphy is essentially Melky Cabrera without the NY hype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 Cabrera has been hitting a .320/.400 line since May, and has 11 outfield assists. No way we're giving that up for a 2 month rental, especially when we have an aging outfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 Astros have apparently gotten something from the Padres for Morgan Ensberg. Yeah!!!! I don't imagine that it's anybody good, but still, it's a good trade, considering the Padres could've gotten Ensberg for the league minimum in about a week.

Longdogger_Pete 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 People need to stop talking about Buchholz like he's already in the rotation. He's not due to come up until next season - maybe some bullpen time this year, but that's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's not due to come up until next season - maybe some bullpen time this year, but that's it. He won't be in the starting rotation on opening day 2008? That was my point, too. Schilling comes back this weekend- anyone who thought Gabbard was going to stick in that rotation was nuts. He was a spot-starter that turned into trade fodder. Simple as that.

Guest • Report post Posted July 31, 2007 Piniero seems like one of those guys that will be much better in the National League. Good trade for the Cardinals. They're going to make a considerable run down the stretch. It won't be enough to pass Milwaukee and Chicago, maybe one of the two, but not both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 Disappointed the Cubs didn't make a move. Given the Brewers not making any real impact moves, I'm not sure if it hurts their chances for the pennant, but teams like the Red Sox and Braves got considerably better in the last 24 hours. I can't believe it only took Kyle Davies to get Dotel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 I like him. Well with that argument, I'm convinced! The Braves probably gave up a bit too much for Texiera, but Scheurholz has an excellent track record of making trades and dealing prospects. He basically got Renteria for nothing, seeing how Marte never did much in the bigs. I'm thrilled about Dotel and getting rid of Davies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2007 The only move the Astros made at the deadline is trading Ensberg and cash to the Padres for a PTBNL and cash (or just cash). There was speculation up till about five minutes ago that Loretta was headed to Seattle or that Loretta and Lamb were headed to Seattle or San Diego, but Tim Purpura just gave a statement saying that although there was a lot of interest in Loretta, Lamb, Qualls, and Lidge, none of the returns would've been enough to warrant trading any of them. So, the last two seasons, the Astros' big trade deadline move was trading for a Devil Rays' third baseman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JD's not getting any younger, Kenny. I like Kenny Williams' thought process- My team sucks and I have the worst farm system in the major leagues.
