    Roid rage. http://www.sbnation.com/2014/4/26/5656932/jean-segura-injury-ryan-braun-bat-brewers

    I didn't include them because of Walker's shoulder issues. I'm not sure they have the pieces without him. A deal of Paxton, another of their top 10 pitchers and someone like Dustin Ackley wouldn't do it for you? Personally I'd love to get Stroman and Sanchez from the Jays if AA is willing.

    The PTBNL is supposedly a 2013 draft pick and will be the more significant player. Davis really needed a change of scenery. Could be a good move if he rebounds. He's an upgrade already for them.

    Former Cubs farmhand Jim Adduci played a role in the Rangers comeback win last night. Donnie Murphy also batted that inning and the announcers mentioned Geo Soto. It was Cubs rejects discussion hour in Arlington apparently.

    Jesus H Christ, it's one game. This is like people on Twitter last night saying the Padres won that trade because of one arbitrary good start from Cashner. Chill.
  7. Post Count Padder
    Well gosh darn, maybe we can ask the Dbacks for Brad Ziegler instead.

    No Mark Bellhorn = sham

    Yeah, I saw that. Pretty f'in narcissistic to congratulate yourself on calling something that could be reasonably assumed by pretty much everyone. Not even close to the first time he's done it either. People make fun of it all the time (which is why I brought it up). Yeah, I noticed. I followed him on Twitter but he doesn't add anything other bloggers/beat writers don't already cover. Except a sense of know it all-ism.

    I could see him splitting time with both. Bonifacio too. As someone just said, it's more about not wrecking Olt's shoulder early in the season. I'm ok with that.

    Posted it in Transactions but also appropriate here. So Whiteside and Baker compete for the backup catcher spot. Woof.
  15. Post Count Padder
    Well that's a bummer. So our backup catcher will be a black hole in the lineup at least once a week.
  16. Post Count Padder
    Some say he was traded and some say he was claimed. It would be nice to get something for him, though it likely doesn't matter much in the end.

    Sounds like they really like Barney and they could use the catching depth, too. This does come a day or two after Daniels basically said he has nightmares over the Garza trade, so I don't think we take him for a ride again. I'd rather have Kotteras as the backup C, obviously. John Baker had a nice start to his career but that was like 5 years ago and he's basically been Koyie Hill since. I'm curious what we reasonably could get from the Rangers in return for Barney/Kotteras.

    So now that trade is Fister for Ray, Krol and a 37 year old Alex Gonzalez.
  19. Post Count Padder
    Yeah, they really wanted a power hitter and they spent a lot on a guy who hits home runs and does nothing else. He's basically Adam Dunn without plate patience. They may regret that.

    His defense rated highly at third last year, didn't it? I've been in favor of him starting at second since the end of last year. Give Olt a shot at third and we also have Bonifacio to back up everywhere. Barney really has no place on the team. I've heard someone say we wouldn't give him up for nothing and he provides good veteran leadership in the clubhouse, but he is a black hole in the lineup. I think that, and his rising salary, would outweigh his "leadership" and glove.
  21. Post Count Padder
    Wada released
  22. Post Count Padder
    A familiar face
  23. Post Count Padder
    So much for them scouting Barney. Dombrowski made it sound like this is their replacement SS.
  24. Post Count Padder
    I was hoping until the last second that's not what it was. #-o
