July 27, 201114 yr According to Gonzo, we get Zach Stewart as the prospect. A 24-year-old starter in AAA with a 4.20 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. KILL ME
July 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (kane0730 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:00 AM) Zack Stewart to Sox along with Frasor http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=stewar001zac
July 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) There's a reason I b**** about that like I do. And there's a reason I overrate prospects to a degree. It's THIS time of year where your scouting and player development gets a chance to shine. We won't spend. We take football players that can't play baseball. Latin America? Who needs it. Go trade for JP and Mark Teahen. Agreed, it's not like our top prospect is from Latin America or anything/
July 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:54 AM) Wow, just freaking wow If Toronto is actually giving the Sox money in this deal, it is not bad. Obviously the Cards have the prospects needed to get Rasmus and they are taking on the salary dollars. With Frasor on the books for next year the bullpen looks pretty good going forward. It may be one of the deepest in baseball too bad the asswipe manager thinks throwing more than 2 innings a week is overextending them.
July 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:48 AM) I tip my cap to "k0na". Never again will I doubt what this guy has to say. So who is the prospect? Mad respect to kona - definitely a good source. The only good part of this deal is we get rid of teahen who somehow KW gave that extension.
July 27, 201114 yr This was brutal. Simply simply brutal. I cannot think of one reason how this makes the Sox better for now or the future. The money saved in this deal won't even be put back into the team because we need to cut payroll. I HATE KENNY WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 27, 201114 yr Stewart's not a bad addition...wouldn't be shocked to see him up in the majors the lst month making some starts.
July 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:02 AM) Coop can't fix him if he can't even make it out of Triple A. Coop's probably even more pissed.
July 27, 201114 yr I'll take that deal. Stewart can slide in the rotation next season. He was ranked as the Jays #4 prospect by Sickels over the winter. 4) Zach Stewart, RHP, Grade B+: His stock has dropped a little, but I still like him. If he can't cut it as a starter he can close. Coop can fix him?
July 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:02 AM) We got Stewart? Hmmm. Well that makes this a little more tolerable. Stewarts numbers are horrible.
July 27, 201114 yr Ironic that maybe Teahen's best moment on the Sox came against Jason Frasor last year.
July 27, 201114 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:59 AM) So is Rios now an overpaid bench player? Which is what people have been hoping for months now.
July 27, 201114 yr Stewart is a surprisingly better spect than I thought KW would get. Its looking like Blue Jays fell in love with Rasmus and needed Jackson to get er done (or Blue Jays are insane)
July 27, 201114 yr A minor leaguer with a career 1.34 WHIP is nothing to be happy about. Add that he is 24, f*** f*** f*** Edited July 27, 201114 yr by maggsmaggs
