[Official] Hunter Pence traded to Philly

what's the story on josh zeid? JD said he was like their 13th prospect.

 

Such a fallacy that we somehow mortgaged our future for guys like Jennings and Tejada. We have simply drafted poorly and then didn't sign a lot of the draft picks.

We traded Bucholz(a middle reliever now), Hirsh(out of baseball) and Taveras(Can't get out of Triple A this year at age 29) for Jennings.

We traded Costanzo(never made it to the majors), Scott(the only actual good player mentioned here), Albers(middle reliever with close to a 5.00 career ERA in the majors), Patton(injured too often, never did anything in the majors) and Sarfate(out of baseball) for Tejada.

If you wouldn't have made the trades, we would have a cheaper option for Carlos Lee in the outfield with Luke Scott and a couple of mediocre middle relievers.

Had we signed who we should have out of that 2007 draft, we would have a SS with potential to be a top 100 prospect next year in Derek Dietrich as well as a pitcher in Chad Bettis who is probably going to be a top 100 prospect in Colorado's system.

 

Here we go again...haha

There's no way it's Domingo Santana, is there?

 

awexler Adam Wexler

 

One is better than none...

Spoiler

 

Aside from biddle the only player i would really want would be bonilla. The position players look shoddy from the stats ( mainly looking at k/bb ) Bonilla actually looks likea good prospect so we prolly wont be getting him though. Any of the top 4 starters in the rotation looks decent but Bonilla looks the best from his stats. Which i realize dont mean a whole lot in A ball

 

Well, apparently the Stros will have their choice from non-top prospects...I think he is in their top 10, higher now...so doubt it. That said, could still be B-Level types with potential.

 

lol... well played.

I'd rather be Lance Armstrong than Tracy McGrady.

Nice explosion, though his motion looks kind of jerky-jerky to me. And I seem to remember reading somewhere that the way he curls his arm down behind him before going through his motion is bad for your shoulder.

With that frame at 19, I'm betting he ends up limited to 1st. If he beefs up a bit I don't think he will be very mobile.

He was in my advisory class in highschool woo!!! I can say I totally took the taks test with an astro haha

 

The Braves top 40 prospect list,not sure how current though...I think Bourn is a Brave by Monday.

 

Gitterdun, Eddie!

 

Gimme two of those top 6 pitchers and i would love Ed Wade forever

 

I'd take Minor and Pastornicky or Bethancourt

 

Dude, you're a...

 

Really any of those top 15 or so prospects looks great and would easily be in our top 10. IF i had my choice I'd want vizcaino over any other pitcher ( tehran excluded ) I remember reading his stuff is out of this world. Honestly thought the braves system is so stacked that its hard not to salivate at the possiblilty that we could have 2-3 of those players by sunday.

 

How are we going to get that when we couldn't pull those players with pence.

I think he will be a reds player by monday.

 

Wonder if the Astros can beat out the Redskins for Andrew Luck
