“Garcia was 40-21 with the White Sox from 2004-06 while helping them win the 2005 World Series before being traded to the Phillies for Gavin Floyd.”

Go figure Floyd was the throw in there…

For Who? My teammates.

For What? To Win.

How Much? Where do I sign?

Gio Gonzalez is still quite young but he hasn’t quite lived up to his expectations yet, has he?

more Gio

Looking at his minor league numbers, he still dominates AAA hitters, but still walks way, way too many batters at any level.

I think “throw in” is too strong a term, as I recall it.

That Outman fella isn’t doing so badly in Oakland

"Someone created the box score," Morey says, "and he should be shot."

Blocked shots — they look great, but unless you secure the ball afterward, you haven’t helped your team all that much.

Yes he is. I doubt we win the WS without Blanton, though, so I have no regrets.

Matt Maloney pitched well in his debut in Cincinnati too. Just sayin’.

do you have autographed cards of his?

Yikes. Just saw that Adrian Cardenas is hitting .388 in AA this year, at age 21, with a .460 OBP. Struggled in AAA earlier but that’s understandable.

by taco pal on Jun 9, 2009 11:19 AM EDT reply actions  

that is really outstanding.

The trade looks more and more like a win-win.

Yeah I’m not complaining, and we had Utley blocking him anyway. But .460!

by taco pal on Jun 9, 2009 11:22 AM EDT up reply actions  

He seems like a nice kid too, and I’m a “soft” Oakland A’s fan, so I’m rooting for him.

A. Did they try and move cardenas to short?
B. The phils over paid for blanton, plain and simple, world series win or not.

It was still a great trade

They overpaid if they could have gotten Blanton or someone comparable for less. Do you have any evidence that they could have?

by taco pal on Jun 9, 2009 12:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

The thing is you can’t win more than 1 WS in a year. Getting someone better wouldn’t have mattered.

For Who? My teammates.

For What? To Win.

Taylor

If he keeps it up, perhaps in the offseason we’ll be able to flip one of our existing OFs for a 3B? I’d prefer doing something like that to trading Taylor for short term pitching help. Although there aren’t a whole lot of good 3B out there.
