Calhoun to DBacks...

[Blarg]

I thought Texas would pick up Calhoun on a similar 2+1 contract. Good for Calhoun to probably finish his career next to his hometown.

Going to miss Calhoun.  I hope he rakes next year against any team not named Angels.

remember when Calhoun had an OPS under .400 at the beginning of the season and everybody wanted him to be DFA'd? 

good times

Corey Dickerson, who is a pretty good comp for Calhoun, just signed a 2-year deal worth $17M.

He was traded last July for a PTBNL and international bonus pool space. 
 

Dickerson also cost less salary (With no option to buy out) and his rate numbers were better than Calhoun’s, albeit in fewer ABs because he had been hurt earlier in the season.

Just another example of Kole’s value at the trade deadline.  Pretty much zero.

And there were some here ready to riot that Eppler didn’t get any value out of Calhoun at the trade deadline. Lol

That value would have been maybe someone’s top 20 prospect.  Then people would be pissed that Eppler didn’t get more for him.

That really is as good as it possibly could have turned out for him.   Very happy he gets to live out a dream and play at home.
