Yes.  It's the Thatcher Effect.

[Lou]

I am in Palm Springs, and a few minutes ago I thought for sure I felt one.

 

couldn't find anywhere warmer to vacation?

[Glen]

Has anybody called him Margaret yet?

I had wanted to take the family to Saudi Arabia, but the wife wanted to show her ankles off by the pool and we didn't think that would be acceptable there.

The Iron Lefty?

[stormngt]

Borenstein was a premium prospect?

+1....journeyman lefty and JB Shuck clone costs us premium prospects, then Smith is your closer for the rest of the way...

[Docwaukee]

Tony Campana was asked what he felt about the trade and had this to say:

 

 "In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women."

[jshep]

Borenstein was a premium prospect?

 

 

That was from when there was talk of Lindsey or Yarbrough being involved in this.

[Lou]

Has anybody called him Margaret yet?

 

He's on an extended self-ban

Lindsey or Yarborough are premium prospects? 

[OregonLAA]

Angels are filling areas of need. The A's did not (though they don't need much). We are still winning the division despite their big move. Our move was better

Death Valley was all booked up.

The A's biggest need was starting pitching, I think they addressed that

[stormngt]

WTF

pretty good trade

Ya their rotation just went from:

 

Gray

Kazmir

Chavez

Milone

Mills

 

to

 

Gray

Kazmir

Samardzija

Hammel

And one of Chavez/Milone/Mills

 

There's room to question what they gave up for that improvement, but that rotation got noticeably better.

[jsnpritchett]

WTF

 

 

Scarface...

[Docwaukee]

I'm fine with this trade.  Had to be done.  

 

Zach was a fun prospect to have in the system.  Big upside.  Big downside.  

 

JD's track record in acquiring established major leaguers hasn't been great to this point.  Let's hope that Thatcher at least does his job.

T&A (toes and ankles) is perfectly acceptable here as long as you don't let her drive.

[Sherlock31]

Well we got a lefty specialist but .241 avg against LBH is not really that special.

[arch stanton]

Well we got a lefty specialist but .241 avg against LBH is not really that special.

But the OBP is .250 because he hasn't walked a lefty this season.

[Blarg]

Scarface...

 

Didn't he start last night for the Astros?
