So the Cubs traded Mike Montgomery for Tony Kemp. Yikes

Blockbuster

Soria < Martin Allard = Medieros

Yeah, really.

It's more like the Sox trading Joakim Soria for Kodi Medieros.

Good lord they keep announcing the Indians are getting players. Pretty soon the Sox, Yankees and Astros will be sending them players as part of this deal.

Agreed. His swing is all shoulders and arms.

I don't think he has to be added until next off season (not this off season).

The Padres need as many 40 man roster spots as they can get.

Martin has been very good this year which is what a team who wants to win the WS this year is looking for.

That wasn't a competitve miss.

"Competitive misses." That's a new one.

I don't. It's not my list. No one ever reads the intro.

The methodology, if you can call it that, is pretty straightforward. We’re ordering players based upon a combination of trade value and trade likelihood. Or not.

According to MLBtraderumors: Shane Greene, Edwin Diaz, Felipe Vazquez, Mychal Givins, Raisel Iglesias, Craig Stammen, Daniel Hudson, Greg Holland, Franciso Liriano, Chris Martin, David Hernandez and Jared Hughes.

Good. It's decision time on him. Let him work out of the bullpen the rest of the season. If he shows he can be part of the future, great. If not, he gets released in the off season (or sooner). There is no reason for him to still be in the minors.

He wasn't using his lower half. He just flicked a couple weak gb's to the right side. He wasn't trying to drive the ball which isn't like Tim.

I watched a couple of Tim's AB's sunday and he did not look good. No one wants Tim back more than I do but I want him 100% healthy and ready to go and not because the team is a lifeless sack of crap without him.

That's not true. The most important event of the scouting season is next week.

and finding quality players in the draft.

I think the order is selected at the GM meetings in November so it would be very difficult to trade for one of those picks now because they won't know if the pick will be in comp round A (after the first round or comp round B (after the 2nd round).

Yep.

Yep.
