[情報] Hot Stove 08/01/27 WarmUp - 美國職棒

http://www.ussmariner.com

1. Erik Bedard is awesome - one of the five best pitchers in the American
League.

2. Erik Bedard and Felix Hernandez are both candidates for the 2008 AL Cy Young
Award.

3. Two great pitchers and mediocre everything else is not a formula for
consistent success. ( 去跟ESPN講啊... XD)

4. The Mariners are going to miss Adam Jones. Badly.

5. The Mariners right fielder in 2008 is going to suck.
(XD...)

6. The Mariners outfield defense is going to suck.

7. In 2009, we’re going to be hunting for two new corner outfielders.

8. The Angels are still the most likely team in baseball to win their division.

9. The Mariners improved themselves by, at most, 2-3 wins in 2008 with this
deal.

10. If Erik Bedard isn’t healthy all year, we’ll be analyzing the new GM in
10 months.
(that's a good thing though :PPP )

11. The Mariners wouldn’t have made this trade if they understood how to value
defense.
(水手FO不懂得評估talent? 真的咩? :P)


12. I will run out of analogies for this trade before spring training starts.

13. The total amount of talent given up will rival only the Bartolo Colon trade
of 2002.
(Expos traded Grady freaking Sizemore, Cliff Lee AND Brandon Phillips 換來科龍
半季鳥蛋...這個交易爛到Expos就此消失..errr 搬家了XDDDDDDD )

14. The biggest loser in this deal will be Jarrod Washburn.
(Huh?)

15. This trade cements the fact that Brandon Morrow will never start a game for
the M’s.
(nah, 你有信心Batista age 37 能撐整季?)

16. The idea that the M’s valued Morrow over Jones is so ridiculous, I can’t
even fathom it.

17. The Mariners are now paying Horacio $2.75 million to fight for the role of
long reliever.

(hey many teams have worse... like Kei Igawa being the #3 starter of the AAA
staff .. or Carl Pavano making 40M to lay on a beach.. or Juan Pierre getting
paid to make lots and lots of outs and make sure the Dodger start most game
down by 1 out)

18. In July, the M’s will be talking about trading for a veteran relieve to
improve the ‘pen.
(and they'll trade Jason Varitek + Derek Lowe for him too! so I guess that
means they'll trade Clement + Morrow for ... ummm.. Mike Timlin ! )

19. Geoff Baker and I will never agree on any of this.

20. Jeff Sullivan and I will agree on all of this.

21. I won’t care much over losing Chris Tillman. I will care deeply over
losing Carlos Triunfel.

22. The M’s have, once again, taken a bad path to a good goal. It will, once
again, not work.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

個人感覺... 說如果真的要這樣玩的話那應該簽下Andruw Jones之類的... 要就玩大一點.
這樣搞不是說talent swap一定吃虧但是感覺沒啥計畫性可言. 明年RS 即使聯盟第一又如
何? 這種鳥蛋到家的打線頂多便成 03 Dodgers 吧... (哪還是假設JJ Putz能整年 0 BS)

最大的問題是明年請問有打個位子你覺得會比今年好? 除了 2B 還有點可能外實在看不出
來. Ibanez / Vidro 退化的機會都不小 (尤其Vidro ) .. 這今年已經頗鳥的打線還要
鳥到哪裡去?






當然啦...其實還有最後一昭.... 但Bavasi會用的出這種黑暗兵法嗎? 去簽某個沒人要的
全壘打打的還不錯多的然後top baseball reference comp 個叫做George Herman Ruth
胖子...... yeah that guy*

真的要拼的話就趕快去買債卷吧, 順便請他給Richie Sexson 一點"建議" ;)
