Balta1701 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 11:35 AM) What prospect would they want besides Dayan? I wouldn't do that. But the lack of a decent system besides Dayan has screwed us for the second consecutive season. The only other guys worth anything would be guys like Addison Reed or maybe Beckham still, but neither of them seems like enough to balance out for Rasmus.

nitetrain8601 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 QUOTE (chunk23 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:35 AM) It comes down to two things 1) The Rasmus trade is very dependent on who Toronto sends as to just how bad it looks for KW. 2) KW turning Daniel Hudson into a relief pitcher and salary relief is atrocious planning and the height of his incompetence. And now I see that Hudson deal sucking. I liked it when it was for Edwin. When it's for a reliever and cap relief? Idiotic. Now is the time someone chimes in and says we could've had Hudson on 6 cheap years as opposed to a 32 year old reliever and some C prospect who won't even be a bench player for us.

harfman77 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) Didnt TLR come out yesterday and say Rasmus refuses to listen to coaches? Why on Earth would you want a player like that on your team? We already have something similar to that playing in CF. Because Greg Walker is out hitting coach.

RockRaines Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:37 AM) I would have done the Rasmus for Ejax and Thorton for sure. But since Sale will be inserted in the rotation next year, we would still need that lefty set up man. This turned out to be a pure salary dump on our part. JR wants to shed some salary so that is what is happening right now. I wouldn't be suprised to see Quentin go next. Hopefully the return package will be a bit higher on that one!! Oh, its not over yet. If there is a loss posted today, I wouldnt be surprised to see Thornton on his way out the door as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Unfortunate as Jackson is seemingly a good guy. I guess we now wait on the prospect, maybe its good and everyone seems silly. Our only hope is that Toronto was in love with Rasmus and Jackson was the only way to acquire him and we actually got to force their hand.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:37 AM) One thing Id like to do is thank Edwin Jackson for playing his butt off. Nice guy and a good player just to bad he was paid so much. I would also like to thank Edwin for contributing to my alcohol abuse with his painful to sit through 120 pitch clusterf***s that forced me to drink even more to compensate for excessive boredom. Good riddance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I was real excited for E-Jax to come here and hopefully turn it on like everyone has expected him to his whole career. Its too bad he's going to be overpaid for the duration of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know teams are calling hard on pitching, and we have some of the best in the league right now in the pen. Not to mention Floyd's pretty affordable contract and Sale's potential as a starter.

Yes, clearly this one deal is what I'm referring to, and not the many, many awful deals that have cost JR piles of cash and lead to this final punting of value that is Edwin Jackson. Claim Alex Rios - big cash. f***. Trade Daniel Hudson - Get a known commodity in Edwin Jackson trying to force hand of Washington to trade you player you actually want in Adam Dunn. Claim MANNY RAMIREZ - one month. one homer. $5 mill. f***. Give away Edwin Jackson to get rid of another AWFUL, POINTLESS contract extension in Mark Teahen. This is just a very very very very very small segment of KW's persistent incompetence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
