I know we are all hanging on that there will be a last minute signing, but it is just not going to happen, not KW's style. Remember the last two years we waited and waited hoping Morgado and Grimes got signed.
KW is losing faith in Humber and after the fifth inning last night, I think that is what is causing KW to really think about acquiring starters. Whether you believe it or not, I do not doubt that KW asked for Diamond for Thornton and that scenario fits this model.

Let's get this done so he is locked up for a while.

September has nothing to do with service time. I'd be shocked if he isn't included in those call ups.
How many do we currently have on our 40 man roster? If he is added to the 40-man does that not impact service time or is it solely time with the big league club?

That's excessive. This franchise is in no position to deal future cost-controlled talent. Reed has been disgusting this year.
Yes, that is totally excessive....................
I only like trading pitching for pitching, not to re-debate this, but look at the Swisher trade, same premise, two young pitchers for an underachieving outfielder. Here we go again.

Scratch that, Baseball America now has him as signed.
Is Parent some stud prospect or was this likely just a slight over slot payment?
