southsideirish71 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Huff for 2 minor leaguers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Man, the price on Huff really fell, getting him for what would be to my eye 2 mid-level prospects (one guy with an ERA above 4, the other guy with it appears an excellent bat but very little power.) Although I could be underestimating that Obrist guy a bit as a leadoff hitter type, still I expected the Rays to get better pitching for Huff.

ChWRoCk2 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Nice deal by the astros, got him cheap and Huff can add a bat to their lineup, solid move. Neither of those minor leaguers pops into my head but Talbot sounds familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxrd5 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Zobrist is a real solid hitter. His OBP each year in the minors is ridiculous. He doesn't have a lot of HR power but hits a lot of doubles and triples. I could see him make an impact at some point for a major league team simply because his plate discipline is off the charts.

Kalapse Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Mitch Talbot still has some great upside as a starter. He has a sick change and is still only 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDsDirtySox Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I played college baseball with Ben Zobrist. He is a great person, and a great player. He is not talked about much right now... but I guarantee he will a starter for the Devil Rays within the next couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Well let's look back in 5 years. THe Rays could have had Brandon McCarthy and probably another arm or two for Baez and Huff. Instead they took Edwin Jackson, Tiffany, and these two guys. It remains to be seen what will work in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangar18 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 hahahaha. The Cubs were salivating over him or Crawford. Heard yesterday all day on talk radio that Zito may be next, and his destination is 8 miles north ...... what garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I bet Beane would do that for Pie, maybe with another piece thrown in. Which the Cubs would have to be insane to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, but the guy is 25 years old. He should be dominating AA if he wants to be considered any type of a prospect whatsoever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
