The Billingsley CG had nothing to do with who was in the dugout.

Broxton was unavailable that night, and they were trying to avoid using Kuo as well. If Billingsley had allowed a baserunner in the 9th, Kuo would have come in the game, whether Mattingly or Torre were managing.

Yeah that’s quite a bridge now, the good part of the pen: KJ + Kuo + Brox. Just need one more good arm and the bullpen is back to good again.

We don't know who the player to be named later is yet in the Haren trade

and

A D’Backs official says that the PTBNL is “outstanding”, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

FWIW… so I guess too early to evaluate the trade (beyond the time needed to evaluate named players)

Oh I'd be beyond flabbergasted if it was Trout, I'm sure he's untouchable

but wonder who else it is…

And yeah Haren is hard to pin down but he’s still too good, and relatively young, to not fetch some blue chips. It’s another case of teams like the Dodgers probably asked for 2x as much as the trading team ends up with when trade goes down.

Looking at just ERA is a terrible way to evaluate a pitcher

Look at his ks, walks, innings, hits allowed, and hr allowed. His ks and walks are amazing, but he’s allowed a bunch of hits and a ton of homeruns. I think the homeruns will go down by a huge amount leaving that HR haven in Arizona.

So far neither guy incl in trade was in BA’s top 10 Angels prospects list (admittedly that was at start of 2010, rather than now; as we’ve seen with Dodger prospects that can change a lot…) But still. All we know is it’s not Trout or Conger…

I remember people telling me the Dbacks wanted a deal similar to what they gave up to get Haren

And they settled for this? I think we could have given up a similar package, instead with Ely as the MLB ready pitcher with more given up minor league wise.
