Cubs Trade Ascanio, Hart & Harrison for Grabow & Gorzelanny

Grabow 2009 = Heredia 1998

 

 

Lefty for the sake of getting a lefty

[A-Cal]

thanks hendry

 

i hate this teams management

[haubrich91]

Ugh. Don't give up any good prospects. Please Hendry.

[Little Slide Rooter]

If we trade anything more than Mitch Atkins or Aaron Miles for Grabow, I will be very dissapointed. Considering they wanted Eric Young Jr. from the Rockies, youd think theyd want more from a division rival.

Why did we move Scott Eyre again?

Can anyone confirm this, my brother told me that on Comcast Sportnet, they mentioned Fox might be traded for a reliever? Are you kidding me if this is true? I also heard Jay Jackson might be moved for a reliever. If Hendry overpays for garbage like Grabow, i'm going to be greatly dissapointed. Jake Fox isn't a stud prospect but man he's worth more than that garbage.

2:21pm: Heyman (via Twitter) thinks the Cubs are getting closer on Grabow, and could acquire another pitcher as well.

 

 

And...the news just keeps getting worse

Zack Duke? If the Cubs trade anything of value for just Grabow, Hendry needs to be fired.

[Vanilla Ice]

Hendry doesn't really overpay in midseason trades. I'm not too worried, my guess is we give them a non-prospect

Agreed. Certain people are overreacting before anything happens.

[Flames24Rulz]

Ugh, if we go this route why can't we get Rhodes or Downs? I'm not a fan of Grabow at all.

I doubt Duke would be considered "another pitcher" but I guess you never know. After the Sanchez deal, something tells me that Hendry is going to get hosed.

ugh, you think?

 

there is a new boss in pittsburg, and he actually knows what he is doing

[Vanilla Ice]

I'll be shocked if we give up one of our top-10 prospects

I wouldnt give up anything of any kind of value for Grabow. If they want to talk Duke, now thats a different story.

[CubColtPacer]

I worry that Hendry will trade someone who's reported trade value is higher than the players he's acquiring.

 

However, I do trust Hendry's judgments on prospects. He usually seems to trade prospects he doesn't like anymore (even though other clubs do) and his judgment has been right a very large percentage of the time.

[RedFlash]

I would to. I think something along the lines of Mitch Atkins and a 15-20 prospect in the org, is about right for Grabow.

 

But what's weird is that Grabow gets RH hitters (.234/.344/.355/.699) out better then LH hitters (.275 .362 .353 .715) .

what's so weird about that!?

 

this has been the MO around these parts for a bit now

 

another stupid acquisition that will be counterproductive towards its intended use

3-year splits:

LH- .252/.309/.343 in 242 AB's

RH- .246/.329/.403 in 501 AB's

I was mentioning this yr's stats, but looking at his three yrs stats, I definately wouldn't call it a "stupid" acqisition as mention have mention.

Depends on what you want confirmed. Did some talking head on some sport show say, "we might trade Fox for a reliever" - probably. Is there any chance of us trading Fox for Grabow straight up? No, Hendry isn't exactly golden when it comes to free agents, but he is fairly good when it comes to making trades...

If we traded Fox and Jackson for Grabow and another reliever, I'll literally throw up. If we traded them for Duke and Grabow, I might be OK with it.

I really can't remember a bad midseason trade Hendry has made. He is usually very good making trades.
