Here's the entirety of the blurb:

The Pirates yesterday traded right-handed reliever Franklyn German, who was with Class AAA Indianapolis, to the Chicago White Sox for a player to be named.

In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.

So Masset 2.0?

Coffee is for closers.

by vince_ on Aug 11, 2008 9:26 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He has been better than Masset

but the walks are concerning. I guess he has never gotten that under control. Coop project? Though he doesn’t appear to be a hard thrower.

95 mph doesn't qualify?

the atmosphere is just too much for me.

and, yeah, masset 2.0. he sucks. a lot.

Yikes

My apologies. I just looked at his k’s. I stand corrected.

German has been clocked at near 100 MPH in the past...

His main problem is control. He walks a lot of guys. Also, he’s Uribe-fat.

He should fit in perfectly.

the weight

i think that 260lbs may be an error, i don’t know, the baseball reference page has 170lbs.

Thievin' motherfuckers take everything, don't they?

he ain't 170, i can tell you that.

by Nordhagen on Aug 11, 2008 3:12 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well, I have no problem with these moves, and with KW there are quite a few

Get enough hard throwers with no control in Cooper’s hands and eventually a few will pay off. Hopefully he doesn’t see any meaningful innings this year though.

I really don’t care about how fat a pitcher is, tell me how good he is. I’m pretty sure THBts did some research and found that being fat doesn’t hurt a pitcher at all.

by madvillian on Aug 11, 2008 10:28 AM CDT   0 recs

he won't

kinda wish he was going to AA. i think their pitching coach is better.

Wow, under a 1:1 K/BB ratio

Ouch. Somehow though he has an ERA+ of 101 in 150 something innings. This requires investigation.

by madvillian on Aug 11, 2008 10:30 AM CDT   0 recs

I doubt this is Kenny's big move...

Washburn should be coming to the Sox.

any idea who the PTBNL is?

it isn’t necessarily someone who was drafted within a year right?

“Dunn deal: D-backs acquire slugger”

PHOENIX—The D-backs acquired outfielder Adam Dunn from the Reds on Tuesday in exchange for Minor League pitcher Dallas Buck and two players to be named later.

Arizona claimed Dunn on waivers and was able to work out a trade with Cincinnati.

correct me if Im wrong...

but I thought there was some rule like any player acquired after the July 31st deadline could not be used on the playoff roster..??

by JoeCoolMan24 on Aug 11, 2008 2:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

sept 1.

and that rule is a joke. see, e.g., rodriguez, francisco circa 2002.

Naw.

Not even Griffey can turn that many routine fly balls into triples.

More like 131-3.

i think you underestimate general soreness.

i’m not sure why kenny thought this was a good idea.

by colintj on Aug 11, 2008 4:30 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I still wonder if...

There was another deal in the works that fell through at the last minute, that would have made the Griffey acquisition make some sort of sense.

As it stands, it’s simply a head-scratcher.

by The Jerry Royster Experience on Aug 11, 2008 4:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Griffey doesn't make sense on any other teams though really

but I kind of wonder if he couldn’t get through waivers anyway. Someone will want B compensation right?

by colintj on Aug 11, 2008 4:34 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

too bad he's more likely to be A, no?

by larry on Aug 11, 2008 4:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

i really have no idea

i need to find that guy’s blog who was reverse engineering the Elias formula. was that linked on Tango’s blog?

and if he’s likely to be A, i’ll honestly be okay with giving our guys rest down the stretch. also have you seen the numbers on Swish’s CF this year?

nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team

by colintj on Aug 11, 2008 4:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

There's no way...

the Sox (or anyone else) offer Griffey arb, though. Draft pick compensation isn’t really an issue.

I did see the numbers on Swisher ’s defense the other day. As usual, I’m not sure what to make of them, although I am more comfortable when Brian Anderson is out there.

by The Jerry Royster Experience on Aug 11, 2008 4:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

sure compensation is an issue.

if he ends up a type b, no need to offer arbitration to get the pick. automatic.

the atmosphere is just too much for me.

by larry on Aug 11, 2008 4:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

why would you get auto comp for a type B but not type A?

and why wouldn’t we offer him arb? he doesn’t want to play here long term and it would be a year long contract if it stuck.

nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team

by colintj on Aug 11, 2008 4:54 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

because that's what the collective bargaining agreement says.

i imagine it has something to do with A comp taking picks from teams whereas Bs just magically appear after the first round.

and because he might say yes and then you’re paying griffey like $10M plus his buyout to not have a place on the white sox? is anyone really going to 1) give griffey more money than he could get in arbitration or 2) offer him much more than a 1 year deal with an option? methinks no. arbitration probably is the best deal money-wise.

the atmosphere is just too much for me.

by larry on Aug 11, 2008 4:58 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

well this is quite the pickle.

colin, how does a pitcher like beckett fare for a hitter like Q?

i see his splits, his AVERAGE is .308 against righties, and a paltry .219 against lefties. clearly he should do well tonight because the average splits tells me that, clearly.

seriously, how does a hitter like q fare against beckett?
