TBayXXXVII 2,289 Posted July 26 Wonder if Crochet's extension talk prevents the White Sox from being able to trade him. He says that he's not going to pitch in the playoffs unless he has an extension signed and that he won't go back to the bullpen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Arizona left him unprotected in the rule 5 and he’s had a great season so far but supposedly swings at everything. Seems like boom or bust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He definitely looks like a DH/1B prospect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,392 Posted July 26 Super pissed about the Randy trade. I do hear good things about the OF prospect they are getting back. #12 in seattle system but only 20 years old with some pop and lots of speed. Still, I was (and still am) hoping they trade Eflin and B. Lowe. Neither player should be in their long term plans and are currently costing the the most. We also have immediate upgrades ready to go in Jeffrey Springs and Junior Caminero, who has been taking minor league reps at second base. Baseball is such a game of momentum swings and clubhouse chemistry that I hate the idea of trading away your most animated, charismatic player who is beloved by the fans.

I don’t get why TB dumped him now for a mediocre haul. They do have great evaluators so I guess trust them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To me it makes sense to get a haul for him. His value will never be higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 834 Posted July 30 I kind of like what the royals have done. They needed a right handed bat and dejong can be a decent upgrade over frazier or hampson. And the bullpen needed an overhaul and they've done that with lorenzen who likely moves into the rotation pushing marsh to the pen and bringing in Harvey and erceg. I like that they are trying to get better for a late season push and haven't really given up any major pieces that will set them back in the future. I've been f5'n Twitter all day. About as unproductive day as the first two rounds of march madness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,392 Posted July 31 The only move I still hate for the Rays is trading Randy. Again, just a spark plug player. Everything else made sense for a team that always needs to churn but can still contend for a playoff spot. Moving Paredes opens up a spot for Junior Caminero. Caballero and Lowe can handle SS/2B. Glad they kept Yandy. Trading away Jason Adam for an absolute haul was the best move they made. Fleeced the Padres on that one. The Rays make relief pitchers like a well oiled machine. Still have Fairbanks, Poche, Kelly, Cleavinger, now Rodriguez. Springs is back, trading Eflin made sense. Bringing in Carlson could be nice if it sparks his career again. But the biggest thing will be calling up Caminero. This team didn't have offense to spare and it parted with 2 of its 3 best producers in Randy and Paredes. Need to get Caminero in the lineup with Diaz and Josh Lowe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
