July 23, 201510 yr Ron Kroichick @ronkroichick 9m9 minutes ago Something brewing with #Athletics and Scott Kazmir. He just came out of Bob Melvin's office. Asst GM David Forst also in clubhouse. Kazmir now hugging teammates goodbye. #Athletics will have new starter for today's game vs Blue Jays

July 23, 201510 yr Questions: Does that 100% cover Houstons pitching needs or do they have more? How is that return? Anyone know anything?

Both ranked in the Astros top 30 on mlb.com at #19 and #22. However, Nottingham is only 20 and at high A and has killed the ball this year. The pitcher is 22 at high A and averages a strikeout per inning.
July 23, 201510 yr Real nice trade for Astros, as they got a good starter without giving up any of their top 10 guys. Kazmir's numbers are surprisingly great this season. Edited July 23, 201510 yr by fathom

July 23, 201510 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) or that teams really won't give up much for a rental They wait too long. The "sellers" market became "not that much of a sellers market" pretty quickly. We will late until last day and get some reliever in AA and be like "well you don't know what the market was like!"

July 23, 201510 yr It really irks me that the Sox took so long and the market has now turned far more neutral.

Even when we were winning, I still said the defense and offense sucked too much and it was time to put the focus to next year (while still potentially buying). If things worked out and you end up winning, great, but I'm not not making moves when your playoff odds are below 5% and your team has sucked defensively for 2 full seasons (and now most of a 3rd season).
