Royals got Ervin Santana

Edited October 31, 201213 yr by DukeNukeEm

Ervin Santana + Cash to the Royals for minor league RP Brandon Sisk.

 

That's a damn low asking price.

This may rule out the Floyd for Moustakas pipedream trade people here were asking for.

He is coming off the worst season of his career and will be 30 and a free agent after 2013. If he has a bounce back year, he could be a good trading chip at the deadline.

Oh great...we suck against him.

Santana was worth -0.9 fWAR last year. His HR/FB was 19%. His BABIP was actually really low at .241. What this tells all of us is that he sucked last year, despite getting lucky.

 

Santana will probably be awful for the Royals and have his only acceptable starts vs. the Sox.

Royals just got had by the Angels.

 

Everyone knows KC minor-leaguers are going to be the next big thing in like 2 or 3 years once they develop. Everyone except KC.

Yeah, I didn't realize how horrendous he was in 2012. I thought he was still that same sub-3 WAR pitcher.

If the Royals' goal is to compete next year, they're going to seek more starters than just Ervin Santana.

Yeah, I don't know who the kid they gave up is, but Santana is just awful.

He looked like an "ace" when the Angels swept us out of Anaheim though. ;-)

A lot of pitchers looked like Aces against the Sox offense in September

Touche.

If Santana owned us on the Angels, just think of how badly he'll own us on the Royals. Cy Santana... call it a lock.

And brother of Ex-Sox Melido Perez

Report: Former All-Star Pascual Perez murdered

Former Major League Baseball pitcher Pascual Perez has been killed during a robbery at his home in the Dominican Republic, reports listindiario.com, via the Montreal Expos Twitter feed.

 

According to the report, Perez had received his MLB pension payment Wednesday, which seems like a possible motive to the robbery and murder. The local authorities are still gathering information and searching for the killer(s).

 

Perez was 55.

 

In 11 seasons, Perez went 67-68 with a 3.44 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. He was an All-Star with the Braves in 1983 and also put together a few solid campaigns for the Expos in the late '80s.

What was Bryce Harper for Halloween? A clown, of course.

Yea, I didn't dress up either.

Pascual Perez, possibly the most '80s baseball player, was killed in an armed robbery

 

 

Sorry to hear the sad news..

I'm guessing they would be willing to absorb Haren's contract without giving up much rather than trade someone decent for more cash.

If the Cubs got Haren they would bank on him being good and receiving a prospect or two at the deadline for him. Probably not a bad move for a team that has $$ to spend on a rebuilding effort.

I bet Kuroda stays in New York. It was pretty impressive that he went from Chavez Ravine in the NL West to Yankee Stadium in the AL East and pitched better.

 

I could see Soriano going to Detroit, they have the money to spend and are in win-now mode.

 

Swisher? Whereever he goes, it will be a massive overpay I bet.
