Jimmywins1 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 08:57 PM) Bailey's stuff has significantly deteriorated over the past few seasons. A scout that attended his AAA playoff start said he was throwing 93-96 into the 6th inning and had the best curve & slider he'd seen all year. Â His stuff deteriorated because he had a groin injury and a knee sprain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 05:49 PM) Just a terrible, gross trade. The rumors about the Sox having huge financial issues are becoming more accurate by the day. Straight up I'd say the Reds win this deal. However, if the Sox have information that Bailey had leg problems last season which were the cause of his velocity trouble for most of the season than I wouldn't have an issue. Bailey is young with a fantastic build and up until last season was as untouchable as a prospect can get. Plus, if the Sox do something with Dye's money, such as bring in Dunn or Abreu (and hopefully Furcal with some of the other money) than I'd have zero problem with this deal. Â Obviously it's all speculation at this point but I'd imagine if there is truth to this we will find out quickly (as in tomorrow). I won't lie in the sense that I'll be excited to see Bailey if he can regain his old form (Cause those type of pitchers don't grow on trees) but you have to have some concerns over what happened to him last season.
