ReplyDeleteKeep him away from Coney
DeleteStearns needs to be fired. The best reliever available with an additional year of control and he trades it for a player years away from the ML. He has not even reach double A. Does he have any idea just how many players fail in double A that never make it to the ML?.
ReplyDeleteTrade with Cubs- Taylor and Holmes to Cubs. Sent to New York: INF prospect Jefferson Rojas (Cubs' No. 2 prospect, ranked 63rd
ReplyDeleteThe best prospect acquired thus far.
DeleteA good day for Stearns and the Mets.
ReplyDeleteMeet the NEW York Mets. Like nothing we’ve ever seen before.
ReplyDeleteA frustratingly bad trade. I like Stafura, but they needed more for Weaver. On top of the light return, they're paying Pittsburgh $7.5 million next year too. Brutal.
ReplyDeleteThe Weaver deal to me is baffling. Really baffling.
ReplyDeleteI think as the day wore on, Stearns became infatuated with loading up on prospects, and the higher their ranking, the more he was willing to give. Weaver is a tough blow, but with what was left in the pen, not many controllable games would get to him and Williams anyways.
DeleteI think where Stafura had played, Greensboro, is a hitter’s paradise. 13 of his 20 homers were at home. So his long ball stats may be inflated.
