Dave Dombrowski最好與最壞的季中交易 - 美國職棒

http://tinyurl.com/qaxlf54

＊原作寫於去年7/1，所以像Ray換Greene 跟Suarez換Simon這幾筆沒在裡面
以今年來看的話，他去年做的這兩筆都蠻失敗的。

＊＊很多交易當下球員的價值跟現在差很多，當時合理的交易事後看可能是搶劫，
　　不過這也就是ＧＭ的價值，可以準確評估球員的能力。

＊＊＊Maybin, Miller換Cabrera 跟 Granderson換Scherzer這兩筆都不是季中交易，
　　　不過是他最為人知也是搶最大的兩筆交易。

The Best　最好的交易

No 5: July 5, 2002: In Dombrowski’s early years, the Tigers were sellers in
July. Starting pitcher Jeff Weaver was traded to the New York Yankees in a
three-way trade with the Oakland A’s that brought Jeremy Bonderman, Franklyn
German, and Carlos Pena to Detroit. Considering where the Tigers were in the
standings, and the fact that Weaver was unlikely to stick around Detroit once
he got the chance to leave, you would have to say that the Tigers got a nice
return in that deal. Pena had his ups and downs as the starting first baseman
over the next three seasons, leading the team in home runs in 2004, and
German was a serviceable relief pitcher on some bad teams. But Bonderman was
the key for Detroit in this deal, being part of a rotation that went to the
World Series before injuries ended his success.

Jeff Weaver　＜－＞　Jeremy Bonderman＋Carlos Pena

No 4: July 31, 2006: Dombrowski acquired Sean Casey from Pittsburgh for minor
league reliever Brian Rogers. Chris Shelton, who had gone from red hot to ice
cold, was optioned to Toledo to make room for "the mayor." Casey was a
welcome addition. Although he hit only .245 with five home runs for the
remainder of the season, he batted .529/.556/1.000/1.556 in the World Series,
at a time when the Tigers bats went cold. Casey was a free agent after the
2006 season, but agreed to a one-year extension at half his salary. He hit
.292 with very little power in his second season in Detroit.

雜魚　＜－＞　Sean Casey

No 3: July 28, 2010: The Tigers, who were out of the pennant race, acquired
Jhonny Peralta from the Cleveland Indians for left-handed minor league
pitcher Giovanni Soto. The Tribe even paid most of Peralta's contract for the
rest of the season to get him off their hands. The Tigers declined Peralta's
option at the end of the season and signed him to a multi-year extension. He
went on to regain his status as an all-star shortstop and was one of the
better hitters in the Tiger lineup for three more seasons.

雜魚　＜－＞　Jhonny Peralta

No 2: July 23, 2012: Dombrowski acquired second baseman Omar Infante,
starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez, and a supplemental first round draft pick
(used for Cory Knebel) from the Miami Marlins in exchange for pitcher Jacob
Turner, catcher Rob Brantly, and relief pitcher Brian Flynn. All of the
players in this trade have seen time in the major leagues, but in terms of
productivity, there is no comparison. It took a five year, $80 million
contract to extend Sanchez, so that cost has to be factored in, but the
Tigers win this trade, hands down.

Jacob Turner＋Brian Flynn　＜－＞　Anibal Sanchez＋Omar Infante＋Cory Knebel

＊這些人當初都還在小聯盟，不過這筆現在看來也是搶超大

No 1: July 30, 2011: The Tigers acquired starting pitcher Doug Fister, along
with relief pitcher David Pauley, from the Seattle Mariners for OF Casper
Wells, 3B Francisco Martinez, and relief pitchers Charlie Furbush and Chance
Ruffin. From 2011 through 2013, Fister ranked sixth in the league in fWAR,
fourth in BB/9, first in HR/9, and seventh in K/BB. You could factor in
extensions for players such as Sanchez, Casey, and Peralta, and that makes
those deals look even sweeter. But even with the minimal return that the
Tigers got for Fister when he was traded with two years of club control
remaining, taking the trades in isolation, independent of other transactions,
this was easily Dombrowski's best deadline deal.

Charlie Furbush＋Francisco Martinez　＜－＞　Doug Fister


The Bust　最爛的交易

July 31, 2009: The Tigers acquired left-handed starting pitcher, Jarrod
Washburn, from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for left-handed pitcher Luke
French, and 19-year-old pitcher Mauricio Robles. French was used as a spot
starter for Detroit, and found a place in Seattle's rotation off and on.
Robles was waived, picked up by the Philadelphia Phillies and called up
briefly in 2013 before being released. He is now in the White Sox
organization.

Mauricio Robles　＜－＞　Jarrod Washburn

Washburn was a veteran pitcher and a key member of the Anaheim Angels' world
champion rotation in 2002. He was American league pitcher of the month in
July, with an ERA of 2.64 and a WHIP of 1.06 for the season. It looked like
the Tigers had made a key acquisition as they surely were headed for the post
season. As it turned out, Washburn made just eight starts for the Tigers,
totaling 43 innings, going 1–3 with a 7.33 ERA. Even a replacement level
pitcher might have been enough to give the Tigers the one win that they
needed to claim their division, but it was not to be. Although this trade
didn't work out, Dombrowski gets credit for what looked like a good deal at
the time. When paired with the August acquisition of Aubrey Huff, who went
from red hot to ice cold after coming to Detroit, the deals of 2009 go down
as the on clear bust among Dave Dombrowski's deadline deals.


To Be Determined　成敗未定

July 31, 2013: Dombrowski acquired shortstop Jose Iglesias from the Boston
Red Sox in a three-way trade with the Chicago White Sox, giving up outfielder
Avisail Garcia and relief pitcher Brayan Villarreal. So far, the Red Sox win
and everyone else loses in this trade. Iglesias and Garcia missed the entire
2014 seasons with injuries, while Peavy and Villarreal have World Series
rings. There is still a lot of baseball to be played by the injured players,
and Peavy is back to struggling this season as he heads toward free agency,
so the jury is still out. Still, I'd take the ring and take my chances with
the rest.

Avisail Garcia　＜－＞　Jose Iglesias

＊這筆在今年Iggy的表現之後也是搶超大

---

基本上DD是一個很愛做大交易的總管，賣新秀也毫不手軟，

一般來說他被認為是傳統派的ＧＭ，重視球探體系多於數據分析，

所以聘請他主管棒球事務，或許意味著紅襪整個體系的哲學轉向。

不過這幾年下來，以結果論來說，他的經營是成功的，

把老虎從年年墊底的大爛隊帶到美中的常勝軍。

他能不能帶紅襪重返榮耀不知道，但顯然這個季末會非常精彩。
