Abreu!!! f*** your knuckleball

I hate junkballers

Well here's the thing. The Mets package was significantly worse. You would think if there was anything to his hip issue the Astros wouldnt give up that haul. After all they are the ones that found an issue with Aiken. Mets are incredibly stupid. It had to be a money issue.

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 2m2 minutes ago Chris Cotillo retweeted Ken Rosenthal Per @MLBPipeline, numbers 2, 7, 14, 21 in Astros' system. Chris Cotillo added, Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Complete deal: OF Gomez and RHP Fiers from #Brewers to #Astros for OF Phillips, LHP Hader, OF Santana and RHP Houser. https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 06:44 PM) Astros fans freaking out they gave up Phillips They should be. Holy crap. Well done Brewers. They should send the Mets a thank you card.

The Brewers got a haul my goodness. Stupid Mets. Absolutely stupid.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 5m5 minutes ago Manhattan, NY carlos gomez and mike fiers go to houston https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS But but...bad hip

Yeah it's Doug Padilla. Move along.

I've been skimming the Tigers message boards. Pretty amusing that they think we have zero in our farm system. Unless you count that whole pitching thing. But the Tigers dont need that right? One person suggested Danish.

You can pretty much cancel the Cards off that list. Baltimore's farm system is an issue. The Angels have a pretty nice surplus of OF now. The other teams are a problem.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) You know, Kenny covets Vmart. Always has. Rick Hahn likes Jason Castro too...maybe this is the year!

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 1m1 minute ago Have heard chisox are on upton and cespedes now. Things have really turned around for south siders https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS My lord

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) I do think they will do something, but you can't react to Toronto, you have to do what is best for the White Sox. I think something small happens, but like the comment about how they tried, we will get the something huge that would have blown everyone away was really close. Yep probably. I cant remember how many times we've heard that last line though.

He mentioned Mike Napoli in there. Not a bad idea.

Like I said yesterday the year we acquired Peavy we didnt hear anything the entire week. Then bam right before the deadline we had him. Kenny even said probably nothing will happen.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 11:27 PM) He's 30, age of decline. Too expensive in terms of prospects. Sox don't need a CF. he's signed for only another year. And if people would look at numbers, and not reputation, they would see his OPS is a modest .761 this year...the decline may be under way. Too expensive in terms of prospects? How? How was that trade from the Mets expensive? How is him being signed for only 1 more year a problem?

Did the Mets also forget they were trading a pitcher with a blown out elbow?

He's been dealing with this issue for a while but it hasnt stopped him playing or having a decent year. I dont know what the Mets are doing

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 11:17 PM) Just like AJ Yep exactly

A non existent issue according to everyone else looks like. I want to say the Mets have done this before.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 11:07 PM) Speed defense , some power and very affordable, signed through 2016. He's ideal. Just what we need. Also brings an edge that I kind of like. He's an asshole but an asshole you like if he's on your team.

I'd give up Montas for him easy.

Yeah that package wasnt really good for the Brewers when the rumors were the price was high. A pitcher coming off TJ surgery and Flores. That's not ground breaking. He's under control for next season too. Plus it sounds like Wheeler's medicals may have been part of the issue.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:42 PM) No IIRC it was same season. Edit: it was the same season in '09. Around May 21, Peavy veteod. Then, on the deadline at the last minute they got it done. Ah yeah that makes sense. Christ it was 2009? Time flies.
