July 31, 201114 yr This is the Trade Deadline of the overpay. Don't tell me we couldn't get a complete haul for Quentin, Crain, Frasor, Ohman, Thornton, Floyd, and Danks.
July 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 09:38 PM) His velocity has been inconsistent His average fastball in his last start was 93.3/93.8 (FF/FT) topping out at 96.2, he hit 95+ 7 times out of 47 fastballs. In the start before that he was at 94.4/93.7 topping out 96.3 hitting 95+ 21 times out of 67 fastballs. Here's his velocity chart from fangraphs: Good stuff. I was too lazy to do the research on my own. That is a bit of a red flag. Well, if this is permanent, who cares. That's a good thing for us.

He will just restock the chairs on the titanic in the offseason. He and Ozzie need to go after this year or it will be more of the same.

I thought it was a steal, and they would have paid even less for Quentin.

July 31, 201114 yr The Indians mortgaged a little of their future on a non-contending team. Good for us.
July 31, 201114 yr Good article by Jeff Passan about the value of prospects today. J4L, I highly recommend. Linky

Linky I do like how Passan takes a shot at the return on the Cliff Lee and Captain Cheeseburger deals without noting that there were BA top 50 guys in those deals as well.
July 31, 201114 yr Officially official Ken_Rosenthal Ken Rosenthal Ubaldo deal is official. #Rockies #Indians #tradedeadline #MLB
July 31, 201114 yr That Indians rotation is a lot more legit now. Masterson and Ubaldo are deadly in a short series.
