2011 GTP: Koji Uehara
Yeah, he was traded, but he still gave the Orioles a great year.

Here's one where MacPhail got it right. Saved money by not offering arbitration, signed him, and traded him at peak value. Koji did his part to maximize his value. I wouldn't mind seeing him get a ring for his efforts.

Alright, who gave Koji a B? 1.72 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, 11.5 K/9, 23.0 K/BB, 13 holds with one blown save. What in the world do you have to do to earn an A?

Yeah, but after July, he was practically a non-entity for the Orioles. It's like he never even showed up after that!

He gets an A.
AM gets a C for what he traded him for.

I won't spoil the surprise but you can find out who gave him a B easily enough. Originally Posted by Frobby

Not only did he have the stats listed by Frobby, he brought us Hunter and Davis. That's worth an upgrade from a B to an A all by itself. Maybe he was thinking the grade included the last two injury plagued seasons?

You're kidding. A reliever for a starter and possible regular position player? That's a bad trade? Originally Posted by Sports Guy

Not just a reliever- an injury-prone mid-thirties reliever. Originally Posted by NCRaven

They should have gotten better, higher upside kids for him. Originally Posted by NCRaven

BTW, I don't think Hunter is a starter...or at least, he shouldn't be on a good team.
I do think he could be an excellent reliever.

SG wanted prospects like the Padres got for Adams, not ML ready guys with questionable ceilings. Originally Posted by NCRaven

By the way, what's his contract situation? Does Tex have an option on him next year? Could he possibly return back to Baltimore?

Cool. Thanks. Originally Posted by Sports Guy
