I'm not sure how he got scraps for DeRosa. I didn't like the trade at the time either, but it appears he got some good young pitchers for DeRo. Chris Archer, A ball: 3.04 ERA; 77 IP; 57 hits; 89:51 K:BB; 1.403 WHIP John Gaub, AA ball: 2.83 ERA; 28 IP; 19 hits; 40:17 K:BB; 1.256 WHIP AAA: 0.79 ERA; 11.1 IP; 5 hits; 8:4 K:BB; 0.794 WHIP Jeff Stevens, AAA: 2.18 ERA; 41.1 IP; 25 hits; 20:10 K:BB; 1.089 WHIP MLB: 2.84 ERA; 6 IP; 2 hits; 4:4 K:BB; 0.947 WHIP

I would have liked second base upgraded or to add a bench bat. However, the money simply wasn't there and the bats available weren't that impressive and likely wouldn't have been significant upgrades over what we currently have. Thus, no, I'm not disappointed Hendry didn't do more. Given the external constraints, I'm pleased with what Hendry did.

Another deal.

Dusty's not ready to conceed. Really though who would they sell? I guess Rhodes. Rhodes, Harang, Arroyo, Weathers, Cordero maybe? The Reds have sold one piece.

oh for the love of god! if i see manny win another world series i will [expletive] puke! :evil: If San Diego wanted Maybin and Miller for Bell, I can only imagine the number of great prospects the Padres will want from LA for Gonzalez and Bell. Kershaw, Loney, Gordon, Martin, Lindblom, Dejesus, and Withrow? Would Kemp or Ethier be involved with Pierre available for the outfield?

Adrian Gonzalez back in the news.

This was just added on MLB trade rumors about the Martinez to Red Sox deal.

There were rumors a week or so ago that the Cubs were interested in him. Zaun is much better offensively as well. Zaun 2009 OPS: .748 Hill 2009 OPS: .604 I'm confused as to the intent of this post. I was highlighting how much better Zaun is offensively than Koyie. Oh, I get it now, the MUCH, and then the lack of much. Yep. Re-reading the post, though, I should have left out "as well." It's kinda out of place there, I think.

.688 OPS this year with just 43 games played. Maybe for a PTBNL or cash, but that's about it.

I don't have a problem with Koyie, either. He's a nice, cheap backup. Had we been able to acquire Zaun for something minor, I'd have been all for it, however.

This is a good point.

Hill is a better backup catcher than any other backups that are available. Gregg Zaun is light years better. Hill shouldn't be in the pros. I don't agree that Hill shouldn't be in the pros. He's a good to very good defensive catcher who hits about like most backup catchers do. Zaun is much better, though.

It'll be interesting to see who Cleveland gets. I would bet Clay Buchholz is in the deal. That's how it appears.

That really came out of nowhere. I knew the Brewers and Yankees wre both interested in him, but not the Tigers. I hear they wanted a lot from the Brewers, so I wonder what the Tigers give up. Here you go. Luke French Maruicio Robles

Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller for Heath Bell. Wow. . . . So in other words Miguel Cabrera for Heath Bell? That's not happening. And it shouldn't.

That's why I'm not calling it a good deal. Hendry got good value for DeRosa, but it's easily debatable that he should have kept DeRo since we're trying to win the WS now. Had he signed someone like Orlando Hudson after trading DeRosa, though, that deal looks better. The only thing that makes it look bad is that we signed Miles to replace DeRo. Stevens is contributing right now and might be a bullpen arm in the playoffs this year. Gaub might see the majors in September when rosters expand - so it wasn't only a long term trade. That's the issue, I think everyone agrees we got good value for him. But the problem is who we have used/gotten to replace him. Yeah, and I clarified that my original point was that Hendry rarely doesn't get good value in his trades. There were a lot of rumors that Hendry would give up way too much for Grabow and Gorzo and I was commenting that it would be completely against Hendry's MO to make that sort of trade.

My original point was that Hendry generally makes good value trades - i.e. he rarely overpays in his trades and rarely gets less than good value for his players. The DeRosa trade, in my opinion, fits those parameters exactly. I think we might agree on that point. The conversation has also branched off, however, into whether trading DeRosa in the first place was a good idea. I'm less convinced on that point, but still feel that if the follow up plans had been better then, yes, the idea of trading DeRosa was a good one. The follow up moves (starting Fontenot, signing Miles) haven't worked, though.
