Edwin Jackson to Blue Jays for Jason Frasor; Rasmus to Jays

[javy knows my name]

Most likely dumb?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Haha, Kenny Williams is an idiot.

 

The only logic I can think of is that moving Teahens salary was more important than getting Rasmus. Resinsdorf is reportedly presuring Williams to cut salary, and guys like Rios, Dunn, and Peavy arent exactly moveable.Of course, they probably could have done both.

[BeerHere]

Is this real? Is this on? Kenny?

 

And WTF to the Cards as well.

Watch CPatt become the next Lou Brock.

GOOD CALL, BRO.

[Guancous]

Meanwhile Toronto basically turned Zach Stewart into Colby Rasmus. I'd make that trade.

[bcl412]

Meh, I was being a tad hyperbolic because I didn't want to be too overt in making fun of our rivals when we are awful and I said most likely stupid because I was trying to avoid being too absolute on an unknown (Rasmus', or any other players, future).

 

It may not have been my finest post ever but it happens from time to time.

[Post Count Padder]

Cardinals also get Corey Patterson.

The trade: Colby Rasmus, Trever Miller, Brian Tallet and P.J. Walters for Jackson, Marc Rzepczynski, Dotel and Corey Patterson.#trades

Nice win here for the Jays. Rasmus>>>>>>Cpat

 

Did you really just type this?

I don't know. I might have had a seizure and just started spewing out nonsense.

[sneakypower]

Edwin Jackson >>>>> Trevor Miller

 

Cards win this one

[Tarver]

Only thing they'll get after this season is Rep and a sandwich pick (unless Jackson shits the bed the next two months).

 

Automatically the 2nd worst trade in StL franchise history.

[Tryptamine]

Can we get Toronto's GM? He's made a string of really great moves lately.

[MWV]

The cards must really like Rzepczynski. And really hate Rasmus.

[NonProfitCow]

LaRussa gets what LaRussa wants. Rasmus pushed his boy Rick Ankiel out of a job and they've had problems ever since. And Mo is his bitch.

and the Blue Jays had received Stewart from the Reds in exchange for Rolen, another player TLR had run out of town

[SouthSideRyan]

Don't worry Cardinals fans, I'm sure this is the first in a series of moves.

[Formerly Snayke]

Don't worry Cardinals fans, I'm sure this is the first in a series of moves.

 

Hopefully it results in Rick Ankiel being brought back.

 

I love that I can troll Rick Ankiel and not get banned for it.

I wonder what Chris Duncan and Scott Speizio are up to these days.

[Formerly Snayke]

Derrick Goold says he thinks Patterson will be IN UNIFORM TONIGHT.

Chris Duncan is an analyst on 101 ESPN and was a big part of the Media Hype Machine that drove fans against Rasmus. He's also bitter that Rasmus pushed him and Ankiel out of the way in 2009 by not being a terrible [expletive] baseball player.

Duncan's remarks today are pretty much, "he is what he is, not going to be a superstar" and "at least we're getting guys who will come to the park ready to play."

[Tracer Bullet]

CPatt and Theriot would be a deadly 1-2 punch at the top of the order.

WHOA, SLOW DOWN NOW.

 

he's right. i just ran the data...it all checks out.

[Vanilla Ice]

hahahahah cards hahahah sox

You want to give Alex Anthopoulos huge credit for this deal, but Williams and Mozeliak just look varying degrees of stupid. Mozeliak especially. I think you may as well just rename the Cardinals the St. Louis LaRussas after this. Mo is not a good GM, not at all.

 

This deal looks a whole lot like AA was taking advantage of a couple of morons.

[Outshined_One]

This made my day.

Joe Sheehan said Anthopoulos basically traded air for Rasmus. That's not far off.

Anthopoulos tenure as the Blue Jays GM

 

-Roy Halladay would only accept a trade to the Phillies, yet he managed to get 3 of their top 5 prospects in Drabek, d'Arnaud and Taylor.

 

-Traded Brandon League for Brandon Morrow.

 

-Traded Alex Gonzalez for Yunel Escobar. Extended Yunel for 4 years/$20M.

 

-Traded Vernon Wells (and his entire contract) for Mike Napoli and Juan Rivera

 

-Extended Bautista for $13M a year.

 

-Traded Octavio Dotel and a LH reliever for Colby Rasmus.

 

He's pretty much GM Jesus.
