Wow, rep to that guy who said his friend had this info.

Hey, I like it. Feldman isn't amazing, but that's about what you're going to get for two guys who can't pitch in the bigs right now. Save your good prospects and get a quality SP for the guys that can't hack it.

I LOVE this trade! Feldman is solid- and with a good offense behind him, I think will be even better.

I like this move.

We got a solid #4/5 in Feldman for a guy who has had chance after chance after chance in the majors to claim a spot but can't in Arrieta and a guy who simply can't be trusted in an ML bullpen on a contending team right now.

I think this is definitely a win for DD here even if Arrieta and Strop go on to have success in Chicago. We simply couldn't afford to keep putting Pedro in games right now (nor could we send him down) and I think a change of scenery will be good for Arrieta. I could see him having success in the NL with a clean slate.

Can't say I know too much about Feldman. I remember seeing him back when he was on the Rangers and he seemed like a solid pitcher. 3.46 ERA this year looks nice, although only 67 Ks in 91 IP. Don't really have time to look up too much more on him. Is he a groundball guy?

We gave Jake a ton of time to work out his issues; if the Cubs can make it work, maybe Jake just needed a change of scenery.

Even if Jakes wins the NL cy young next year, I can't sit here and pretend that I thought Jake was going to get any better in this system.

Hey, he might do better in the NL, it's not a bad gamble. Same with Strop. But if you're wild, you're wild and ML hitters will take advantage in any league. We'll see.

I'm glad he went to an NL team just in case he does turn it around :).. also, we add to our collection of former Ranger's players.

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
