Washington Nationals at Los Angeles Dodgers, Jul 25, 2008 7:40 PM PDT
A fun game to occupy yourself with while I'm at Happy Hour. How many players on the Nationals can you find that you had no idea were still in baseball. I got 10.

Jesus Colome
Until last night, Joel Hanrahan

I know the Nats got Lo Duca because they didn’t think Flores would be ready this year, but why did they get both Lo Duca and Estrada (who they just DFA’d).
by Tango and Cash on Jul 25, 2008 8:14 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
No idea. The rumor I heard was that in the Milledge trade the Mets offered to give them Estrada and pay his salary and the Nats said “nah, we’ll just take Milledge”.

The Yankees are in desperation mode. I’m surprised they’d trade Tabata and 3 pitching prospects for a career 4th OFer in Nady and a decent reliever in Marte.
by Tango and Cash on Jul 25, 2008 8:20 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
They’re starting Brett Gardner so it helps them, but Tabata lost his golden boy status pretty damn fast. I like the move from both teams perspective.

Yea, but Tabata’s only what, 18, 19? I get the worries about his hand, but to trade him for a couple players that might not do that much to help you win, especially because Nady can come crashing down to earth anytime, it seems they could’ve waited to use Tabata as a chip in a deal for better players.
by Tango and Cash on Jul 25, 2008 8:28 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I agree, but both teams fans feel like they got screwed, so it might be a fair trade. The Pirates need hope from guys like Tabata, the Yankees dont give a damn.

Some of the Pirates’ fans at Bucs Dugout are delusional. Here’s what one guy said:
“I really wanted Tabata
...a year or two ago. I guess 19 is young enough to still develop…that’s what I’m telling myself…”
And I don’t think that’s sarcasm.

Just remember that if we offered them Kemp for Wilson they didn’t want to throw in Nady,

The Twins deserve to get the hammer from the MLBPA. There’s no excuse for keeping Liriano in the minors because of Livan. Theyre just trying to screw him out of a year of service time. (This has nothing to do with the fact that I traded my team for Liriano two years ago).

I concur, as well. There’s really no other way to explain it. How can you say he has to work his way into a rotation with pitchers who are at best, decent, and at worst, terrible?

Got this from FJM:
“Twins general manager Bill Smith, on Livan Hernandez, who improved to 10-6 with a 5.29 earned-run average with Saturday’s victory over Texas: “I’ll take the (10) wins. Who do you want, a guy who’s 10-15 with a 2.80 ERA or a guy who’s 16-8 with a 7.00 ERA? I’ll take the 16-8.”
Maybe Bill Smith is just real dumb?

He did trade Johan Santana for nothing and then gave that money to Michael Cuddyer and Joe Nathan. I wouldn’t doubt it.

Any Dodger fans want to trade Paulie’s .246 average for Russell Martin? I think not!

Yeah, we’d have to eat some $$$, but do we want to try to win this year, or just wait til 2010?

We Win!

I don’t think we have much of a chance this year.

I just want someone functional off the bench. Someone brought up Dallas McPherson a couple days ago. He’d be interesting at least.

He’s stuck in the Marlin’s farm system, yeah? I think somebody said he had around a 1.000 OPS. That is interesting.

He’s probably hit something like 240/295/450 in the bigs. Not a starter, but he’d hit a clutch pinch home run at some point.

Anyone heard anything more about Kent possibly going to the Rays?

I can’t see that happening. The Rays have focused so much on defense that I can’t see them destroying it.

What about Lowe? HIs name seems to be popping up almost everywhere.

More interesting, but do we really want to give Stults the ball every 5th day down the stretch?

No, I don’t think so. But I wouldn’t mind seeing what we can get for an aging Lowe who probably won’t be back no matter what.

You can’t tell me that the Yankees wouldn’t be interested in renting Lowe for the rest of the season.

What about Meloan or McDonald? Either of them options to take Lowe’s place if he gets traded?

Good point, Andrew. Kent moves about as well as Rosie O’Donnell. I heard that yesterday and wondered why Tampa would make that trade.
