21-year out Cuban OF, Julio Pablo Martinez, is defecting to the USA... 2017 stats in Cuba: .333/.469/.498, 264-PA, 52-BB, only 30-Ks... stats for Canadian-American Association: .297/.345/.449.
From Rich MacLeod - 'in 2009, the Mets rejected a trade that would have sent Fernando Martinez, Bobby Parnell, Jon Niese, and Ruben Tejada to Toronto... for Roy Halladay.
is that cuban guy any good?
ReplyDeletealso I dont know how Rich macleod is but if that trade was true hopefully that person has long been fired...
F Mart Niese, Tejada & Parnell for Halladay ? Damn we would’ve been fleeced ;-p
ReplyDeleteAt the time Parnell was uninjured, Niese was on the upswing, Martinez was the uber-prospect and Tejada was, well, Tejada. It actually seems like a reasonable offer. They probably didn't want to pay Halladay's salary.
ReplyDeleteI know .. just being sarcastic but damn if Omar made that trade lol
DeleteThe trades you don't make - ouch.
ReplyDeleteLogan Morrison - cheaper than Bruce - a more likely choice.
Sign the Cuban - ask questions later. Bring Cespedes a box of stogies.
The pass on Halladay at the time made sense.
ReplyDeleteEddie -
ReplyDeletevery few 21 year olds are 'that good'.
especially if their stats are only in Cuban 'A ball' league
BTW - McLeod is a very connected national writer... used to write for Mack's Mets
