Tossed Salas traded to NY Mets

[disarcina]

check out this guy from the Mets -- my attitude is that we traded Salas as his absolute highest value -- so good job front office !! -- now, I am hoping this guy from the Mets is a top pitching prospect........Salas was our closer of the moment -- but all of our regular posters here - I am sure -- were like me -- just waiting for him to implode in that closer role.

I think we traded Salas at the absolute right time - a day before the Sept. 1 deadline to expand rosters so Salas can be on the Mets post-season roster if they make it and can add some depth to their pen for the 6th to 8th inning -- he certainly won't be closing there.

the guy we got has to have more promise than what Salas would give us in 2017-18.

Salas is the last guy from the Freese/ Salas for Bourjos/Grichuk trade for us - who would have guessed then that Grichuk -- the throw in - would be the last player standing for the two teams.

trade worked out well for all -- and Freese --amazingly to me anyway --now has a nice to year deal with the Pirates.........Bourjos - who I really liked -- seemed to be on thin ice in Philadelphia.........once his wheels go - he's done.

Salas did what he could. As far as I know, he never made excuses.

I wish him luck in NY.

Seems like there isn't much left of JeDi's trade leftovers. Street may come back, though.

Is he your Noah?

no, he's manoah.

Why trade him if we weren't getting of value back?  There is only a month away from the end of season so the Angels can't be doing it as a salary dump.

[Chuck]

Good riddance,  Salas. 

I don't care if we got @Brian Ilten and his bent over bare ass pumping out fastballs to the batter.

WE GOT RID OF SALAS, dipshits.

You have to be trolling

One of those trades where I honestly could care less who or what they got back. The fact that we don't have to go through another off-season of seeing this gasoline can get tendered is good enough for me.

Usually I just want him DFA'd so getting someone for him is good

[ettin]

I like it we actually got a live arm that is pitching starter's innings so..... Has a good K/9 rate this year with elevated walks and hits. If he doesn't work out of the rotation you could probably get a good reliever out of him. Like Chuck said we got something.

[TroutField]

Eppler has been stockpiling hard throwing young arms. Good to see, better than consistently having guys come out of the pen throwing 88 like the last couple of years. 

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I believe that we have taken the first step toward upgrading the bullpen.

Looking at his stats.  We didn't get much if anything.

But I'm sure someone on this board will ignore the stats and say we got a steal.

Scotty must have plans tonight.

Why the hell would I be trolling?  What a stupid resposse.  I gave a legit question.  From what I read the player we got in exchange for Salas us a dog.  There is 30 days left in the season so why trade him.  With such little time left in the season how much salary relief do we get

So smart ass you tell me what was the benefit of the trade for the Angels?  I can see Mets interest in the move but what is the Angels?

[ettin]

Storm, Salas is a free agent at the end of the year.

Oh, so he's a UCL donor then.  Got it.  (What do we do with the rest of the body?)

$430,000 Storm.  Every penny counts.

[Docwaukee]

cool.  i was hoping we'd do this.  Any time you can add projectable arms it's a good thing.  

btw, he got blown up in two starts this year.  1ip, 10er and 3.1ip with 9er.  In his 11 other games he pitched 57.2ip, with 56h, 20bb, 58k, and a 2.89 era.  

he's got a good arm.  low 90's fastball with a downhill plane (from what I saw of the video) when his mechanics are working.  Curve looked average and you could see it coming.  Change is supposedly average.  20yo in short A so he on track and as mentioned, his overall numbers don't tell the whole story.  If he spends next year at Burlington, he's still on track from an age perspective.  

Be happy we got a young arm with a modicum of potential for Fernando freakin Salas.
