December 3, 201312 yr Alright, well if we are starting a new thread....then.... QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 09:05 PM) Doug Fister to Washington, so that's great news for us. He may be the most underrated pitcher in baseball. A rotation of Scherzer, Verlander, Sanchez, and Fister is incredibly scary. So glad they are breaking up that 4-some. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 09:07 PM) David Cameron @DCameronFG 1h Among qualified SPs, Doug Fister ranks 9th in WAR over last three years, between Price and Hamels QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 09:08 PM) My god, Fister has 3 years left until FA too. I really hope the Nationals aren't giving back appropriate value here, because Fister should be bringing back a haul. Way better than anything Jeff Samardzija has been rumored to get.
December 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 09:13 PM) Fister would have been a nice Coop project at some point. Very Garland esque I wouldn't consider an established #2-#3 type guy as a project. That's like saying Jose Quintana would be a nice project for another team's pitching coach. Only difference is Fister is most established, so Q would actually be more of a question mark.
December 3, 201312 yr Author Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo 2m Hearing Fister deal will bring three or four players back to #Tigers. Lombardozzi, Ray likely in that package.
December 3, 201312 yr Someone on the MLBTR comments is saying Anthony Rendon is in the deal, but who knows if that's valid.

Would have, as in earlier in his career, when he wasn't established. He is a nice pitcher but he hasn't tapped his potential yet.

December 3, 201312 yr So the Nationals basically gave up role players for Fister....nice going Detroit
December 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 09:26 PM) So the Nationals basically gave up role players for Fister....nice going Detroit Huh? We don't even have a single confirmed name going back. Rumors are ranging from Rendon to a collection of mid-level guys to Denard Span to a larger trade with multiple guys from each team moving. There is nothing on which to judge this trade right now, except assuming it can't improve the Tigers rotation, which is good news.
December 3, 201312 yr JIM BOWDEN @JimBowdenESPNxm 1h Nats trade Krol, Lombardozzi and minor leaguer for Doug Fister according to sources
December 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 07:30 PM) JIM BOWDEN @JimBowdenESPNxm 1h Nats trade Krol, Lombardozzi and minor leaguer for Doug Fister according to sources Unless the minor leaguer is a stud, I can't see why Detroit couldn't have received more somewhere else. They must need the money.
December 3, 201312 yr Oh my lord, Nats official twitter just confirmed this. What a STEAL for the Nationals. Phew. Washington Nationals @Nationals 1h The #Nats have acquired Doug Fister from the #Tigers in exchange for Steve Lombardozzi, Ian Krol & Robbie Ray:

December 3, 201312 yr Well this is great news. I can now finally go pick up some Subway. I've been starving myself for the past half hour following this trade.
December 3, 201312 yr I wonder if this means Smyly returns to the rotation? If so Detroit better start adding some bullpen pieces.
December 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 07:36 PM) I wonder if this means Smyly returns to the rotation? If so Detroit better start adding some bullpen pieces. I could see Krol replacing Smyly
December 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 09:36 PM) I wonder if this means Smyly returns to the rotation? If so Detroit better start adding some bullpen pieces. Smyly to the rotation, and Krol to the bullpen. Ray to AA, and Lombardozzi to bat boy duties. Edited December 3, 201312 yr by Chilihead90
December 3, 201312 yr Robbie Ray is alright, but man the Nats didn't have to give up much. Kind of a salary dump? Edited December 3, 201312 yr by DirtySox
December 3, 201312 yr Incredible trade for the Nationals. I wonder if this is a prelude to Tigers signing Cano or Ellsbury? With this asking price the Tigers had for Fister, I'm stunned the Cubs didn't try to get him. Edited December 3, 201312 yr by fathom
