Balta1701 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 The San Diego Padres have decided to take a chance on one of the Yankee Relievers who was released this week, according to ESPN, Quantrill will be going to the Padres in exchange for 2 struggling Padre pitchers; lefty Darrell May (1-3, 6.69 ERA) and Tim Redding (0-5, 8.94). Both will go to the Yankees minor leagues. The Yankees will also reportedly receive cash. God only knows they need more of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I don't understand why the Padres would send two bad pitchers for another bad pitcher, and still send money, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I have a feeling the Pad's are banking on Quantrill's past success and hoping he can regain that form. The Yankees are probably just looking for fresh faces in the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Just because a guy has bad numbers this year doesn't mean he doesn't have value. How much are we talking about getting in return for a guy named Brandon with an ERA over 7? The Pads get a veteran reliever with playoff experience who's struggling, and a couple of roster spots. The Yankees get a roster spot, and a couple of guys who might throw together a decent season at some point in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 This is worth a shot for the Pads, May and Redding are horrendous, Quantrill has been good most of his career, so why not take a chance if your san diego? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantrill's had a lot of success in the NL. Simply getting out of NY may help him and the Pad's. as far as the Yanks are concerned....
