hi8is Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 11:37 PM) 1.) He is a huge injury concern. 2.) He is beyond bi-polar with the bat. 3.) He isn't getting any younger or cheaper. 4.) His defense is suspect. 5.) We have a potentially (keyword!) better replacement waiting in the wings. Then again, you only do such a trade if you can get a really good young pitcher back in return. 1.) He hasn't been hurt all year and his recent injuries are behind him. Last year it was Plantar Fasciitis - that's gone now. In 2008 it was the broken wrist - I don't see Q punching any bats again. 2.) He's been just fine with the bat this year and last year. Look beyond the average. 3.) True 4.) His defense LAST YEAR was horrid - because of the Plantar Fascitis. This year, his D has been very good. 5.) If we weren't contending for the division and a playoff birth - sure, you bring up Dayan for him. So long as we're in contention - there's no need to bring in the rook for Q when he is much more of a sure thing. Those are my thoughts at least.

southsider2k5 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 25, 2011 -> 10:57 PM) Regarding the no-save for Santos, frankly it's refreshing that the manager doesn't have to be a slave to the save stat because it's so tied to incentives for established closers. Ozzie can actually get the matchups he wants, as all managers should, but don't, due to a ridiculous statistical construct. Don't change a thing in this regard, Ozzie. ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
