SoxAce Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Yea, just posted it in the "Mets win Benson sweepstakes" Mets- Victor Zambrano D-Rays- Scott Kazmir (their top pitching prospect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Tampa Bay makes out real well in that trade. Kazmir and Niemann to look forward to. You guys say Kenny overpays? This guy just traded a top prospect and another prospect for a number three, at best, pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say the D-Rays come out ahead on this one. If Zambrano ever learns to throw a pitch can be called a strike 9 times out of 10, he'd be one of the best pitchers in baseball. Kazmir has had some trouble developing his changeup and could be moved to the pen if he continues to struggle with it. But is he worth the risk? Yes, indeed.

3E8 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I think the Mets made out like bandits today. Just an opinion. Prospects are always suspects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoArow33 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Kazmir is really good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, FS is now going to do trade breakdowns throughout the deadline as part of the new national coverage. Within a year I expect FS to converge upon being a national site and FS will probably be back as a site back on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
