Cain is doing pretty awful this season. Owens is OK I guess.

5) Robbie Grossman, OF, Grade B: If he had fulfilled his commitment to the University of Texas, 2011 would have been his draft year. I know he was repeating High-A, but a player jumping from the college ranks to High-A, hitting .294/.418/.451, then ripping up the Arizona Fall League would be getting an awful lot of praise, not skepticism. I also think that Grossman's tools are better than commonly reported. I expect he'll provide gap power with some speed and a high OBP, and that's valuable.

16) Rudy Owens, LHP, Grade C+: Stock down following difficult season in Triple-A, but still a prospect. Not as good as he looked in 2010, but not as bad as he looked last year. Could rebound and still has a shot at being a fourth starter.

[Dominican Power]

Poor Mests. 1-10

 

[weekend_warrior]

Nats win 7-2. Dickey gets hit for 5 runs over 6 1/3 innings.

I was pretty goddamn close!

 

[eznark]

Grossman, Owens and Hanson would have been a nice haul. I don't know why they even took Cain. The trade looks better just Grossman and Owens. Grossman is a legit prospect and could jump to Houston next year easily.

CHOOOCH! Thanks Roenicke for taking out Greinke.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Morosi corrected and said Hanson is not a part of the deal.

 

[eznark]

CHOOOCH! Thanks Roenicke for taking out Greinke.

Like I said, he is clearly tanking.

 

[JABEE]

Like I said, he is clearly tanking.

Is Greinke going to be traded today? Why did he do it?

 

[yankeehater]

CHOOOCH! Thanks Roenicke for taking out Greinke.

I cant believe there is a worse bullpen then the Phils.

Edit: Pence!

 

[clemenx]

It's a fine for the Pirates. PNC Park is the total opposite of Minute Maid when it comes to the LF so that should hep him. Also he's more than a rental.

 

[eznark]

Is Greinke going to be traded today? Why did he do it?

Because he is a fucking y2kev?

 

[JABEE]

I cant believe there is a worse bullpen then the Phils.

Pence makes it 7-6

 

[sf2fanatic]

F'n Kersh. Always screwing up a good game.

 

[CygnusXS]

CHOOOCH! Thanks Roenicke for taking out Greinke.

Thanks Phillies, for gifting Greinke to us with this comeback.

 

[eznark]

Thanks Phillies, for gifting Greinke to us with this comeback.

Quick, give us Delgado.

 

[rando14]

Looking forward to the Ichiro - Felix battle, never would have imagined it

 

[Windu]

Quick, give us Delgado.

done, tell grienke to pack his bags.

 

[CygnusXS]

Quick, give us Delgado.

Sure. Take him. Here, have Todd Cunningham too, why not.

 

[eznark]

Sure. Take him. Here, have Todd Cunningham too, why not.

Nah, Lipka will do though.

 

[CygnusXS]

Nah, Lipka will do though.

... OK, if you're sure?

 

[eznark]

... OK, if you're sure?

For two months of Greinke? I'd be thrilled.

 

[yankeehater]

Papelbon!!!!

 

[eznark]

go fuck yourselves douchefucks

 

[CygnusXS]

Papelbon!!!!

Congrats, only 14GB now.

 

[JABEE]

Let's make some trades at the dealine. We're coming back. No selling. 9.5 back from 2nd WC in July isn't that far back.

Add a reliever.
Add a 3B/OF.

 

[Windu]

9.5 back from 2nd WC in July isn't that far back.
.

perhaps, but being behind 7 teams is a tough climb.

For two months of Greinke? I'd be thrilled.

no lipka, you get delgado and be happy. (honestly, that is great for two months of a player, only player on the market i would give him up for)

 

[JABEE]

Congrats, only 14GB now.

Cards were 10 Games back on August 27 of last year. We're coming for the Braves. I hope.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Yankees win 4-2, Felix gives up 3 over 7 1/3.

 

[cashman]

I can't tell if you guys are serious or joking

I feel bad now. You're going to be so crushed in September.

 

[CygnusXS]

no lipka, you get delgado and be happy. (honestly, that is great for two months of a player, only player on the market i would give him up for)

You must be higher than I am on Lipka. I know he's still really young, but I don't think his ceiling is anything near where we originally thought.

 

[rando14]

Yankees win 4-2, Felix gives up 3 over 7 1/3.

Are you suggesting that Freddy Garcia gives up only 2?

...Fuck, it's Safeco Field, you may be on the something...

 

[Dominican Power]

Pirates trynna get Pence?

 

[Macattk15]

So nice to see Mike Carp instead of Smoak ... hopefully he fucking finds SOMETHING in AAA.

 

[Dominican Power]

GRANDERSON!


That ball left in a hurry.

 

[Malo]

Curtis!

 

[rando14]

Dammit Curtis! You've ruined everything!

 

[sangreal]

lol, that was fast

better move the walls back Seattle. Too many HRs

 

[Windu]

You must be higher than I am on Lipka. I know he's still really young, but I don't think his ceiling is anything near where we originally thought.

i still believe! lol. i just hate giving up on someone that is so athletic, but i wouldn't mind trading him.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Gotta get out of this one Kersh.

 

[Macattk15]

Yeah Felix. Let's throw down and in to a LHB.

Fuck.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Cards were 10 Games back on August 27 of last year. We're coming for the Braves. I hope.

Cards didn't have anyone in front of them.

 

[cashman]

Martin perez pitched admirably today.

 

[CygnusXS]

i still believe! lol. i just hate giving up on someone that is so athletic, but i wouldn't mind trading him.

I like Ahmed and Cunningham a lot more personally.

 

[JABEE]

[Macattk15]

Fucking Mariners are gonna force me to be a primary fan of my NL team.

 

[yankeehater]

9.5Gb in July isnt that bad at all, sucks that there are so many teams ahead of the Phils though. They still have a chance but it is a really slim chance. Even if they dont make the playoffs it is still nice to see play so well now that they have their team on the field.

 

[Talon]

Brewers.

Why u no trade Greinke?

 

[weekend_warrior]

Are you suggesting that Freddy Garcia gives up only 2?

...Fuck, it's Safeco Field, you may be on the something...

Ah fuck, didnt know Freddy was pitching tonight. He'll probably give up a couple early, but hopefully Seattle will go into No-O mode and he'll be able to cost into the 6th.
