Rosenthal: Price to the Tigers

[rageous]

Wait, people actually think this is a good deal for Detroit? They traded Fister for peanuts and then traded two solid major league players for Price. You guys know that Smyly is actually good, right? 

And you know that Price is a number one and can take over for Scherzer next year right?

Smyly is a solid pitcher but he can easily be replaced with a free agent.

[Inside Pitch]

Walker now reportedly NOT included...   

[Guest]

Walker wasn't traded. That was just a rumor.

In that case, Seattle did pretty well

[Ochocinco!]

Don't worry we got Hamilton

[Angel Oracle]

Walker not the pitcher he was a year ago.

 

Delivery completely changed.  Fastball 90-93 mph compared to 95-98 before he completely changed his mechanics.  Release point all ****ed up since switching to the more upright follow through.  

 

All depends on what the M's get for him.  

Sounds like what Skaggs went through in Arizona, except someone had him change his over there.   Did Walker change them on his own? 

[Redondo]

Wow the other teams are stocking up

[QuinlansMinion]

Tigers offense gets worse as well.  They are very dependent on Cabrera and Martinez.  And like we just saw when we took 3 out of 4 from them, slow down Cabrera and they are very beatable. 

 

I just heard something really funny though on MLB Network regarding Price signing an extension, "maybe he falls in love with Detroit these next couple of months."  I dont think anyones ever fallen in love with Detroit.

Rays ****ed up big. Horrible trade.

He's not broken goods though. He can work on those mechanics.

Edit: oh wait, he was injured I think. Oh well

Jackson was expendable because of emergence of JD Martinez.  

When everyone was healthy, someone in the outfield had to sit and Martinez has been their best bat in the outfield all year.

[rageous]

So Rays traded Price for Smyly, Franklin and Tajuan Walker.

Makes me wonder why Seattle couldn't have thrown in extra to replace Smyly in the deal and get Price instead of Jackson.

[Stradling]

Walker wasn't involved.

[rageous]

Except for the Taijuan Walker part. 

What a shitty return for the rays.

You would think even the Angels could do better than the crap that they got.

[Stradling]

Smyly is really good. Would you trade Aybar and Richards for Price?

If you think Smyly and Richards are of same value then I have nothing more to say to you.

Wow, I just looked at Smyly's stats, for some reason, I thought he was a low 3 ERA with good peripherals, my bad. But Smyly will be a good pitcher.

[CarniifeX]

So it sounds like we could have gotten Price for Skaggs, Yarbrough and another minor leaguer?

[rageous]

You are probably thinking of Porcello.

I don't know about Smyly.  Just looking at his stats.  Year 1, 1.27 WHIP, 3.09 ERA mainly a starter.  Year 2, 1.04/2.37 mainly as a reliever.  year 3 so far, 1.31/3.77 ERA mainly as a starter.  

 

They are good numbers, WHIP is concerning as a starter, and he might be a better reliever.  

 

So it's more like Green and Santiago for Price.  And I'd do that.

[Stradling]

You are probably thinking of Porcello.

I guess so.

[Stradling]

Rays also get Willy Adames

[bloodbrother]

Smyly will be good and is cheap...teams are always lookin for good, cheap starters

 

but I agree, Cubs landed a top 10 prospect for Samardzija(who is not in Price's tier). Felt the Rays should have landed a bit more in return

[Angel Oracle]

Smyly is good, and a lefty, and under club control through either 2017 or 2018.
