Brandon McCarthy

[ten ocho recon scout]

the truth is that every year it's not the ACE or BIG BAT that is traded that has the greatest impact on the playoff race. it's always some understated trade for a player that plays out of their mind for 2 months. i'd like to see the angels get that guy, and keep their farm system in place. who it is? i have no idea.

we're gonna trade for jake peavy. Its going ro solidify our rotation.

It wont be enough though when oakland signs johnny damon out of retirement, and all 3 of the home runs he hits for them are walk offs and come in the last week of the season

Would we have to take on his contract?

 

Nah, but I'm guessing he wouldn't be thrilled about being on a red team.

I read he had an epidural for the pain...and in the NL he's hitting worse than Freese right now, if that is even possible.

It is.

Bourjos is also

Bourjos has a higher slugging and OPS.

Bourjos has a higher slugging and OPS.

and better glove for less money.

I agree that bourjos is having a bad year (or cant hit). Theres still a lot more value in a guy who can run and play phenom CF (even as a bench guy in both cases), than a poor bat, mediocre cant run guy.

Hopefully what was said about freese being unlucky (line drive rates) is true and he has a better second half.

Brandon McCarthy of the Diamondbacks could be the ideal buy-low starting pitching target, writes Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca. While McCarthy’s results have not been encouraging (5.38 ERA), the opposite holds true of his peripherals (80:18 K:BB ratio, 56% groundball rate). In large part, McCarthy has been hurt by a bloated home run rate and batting average on balls in play. The righty could prove a bargain, says Nicholson-Smith, because he won’t require a major prospect return and Arizona may even need to pay part of his $9MM salary.

So far it looks like a good pickup for Yankees.
