Please provide a source. I know us folks on the board discussed that trade but I have not seen any evidence that the Tigers would have pulled the trigger on the deal. I don't think the Tigers ever had any interest in Johnson, he doesn't strike enough guys out.
-
It's May and the weather hasn't been great. If they can stay competitive there should be a bump up from last year.
-
It was a sellout.

Veteran move that!

I'm glad I don't have to root for someone of his character.
-
Is that what Ballfour keeps in the back of his truck?
-
That too.
-
I think it is a LOT more likely that a veteran player just started performing then a manager "mixing up" the lineup caused it.
-
Why would that help?
-
Strop on the DL with a groin strain. Of course with a 1.50 WHIP and 15/8 K/BB ratio they might not be missing him much.

Well you can safely let someone like Johnson accumulate saves this season. It isn't likely that Oakland wants him back at market value or would tender him a qualifying offer. I don't think Beane is sold on JJ being able to get the job done so he decided to spread them around since he would run into issues if he let one of his arms under team control accumulate them. As for flipping him...don't a lot of trade deadline closer become set up men at their new homes?
-
I am not sure they go with a dedicated closer again this year. If you look at it they have had seven different relievers finish at least three games this year. Save are more bunched with it going 3-1-1.
-
Good catch. Sure looks like Norfolk could use him.
-
I think he will randomly switch between pretty good and out of the game by the fourth.
-
Next season? I don't think the Rays trade Price to the Yanks this season unless they dramatically overpay and Baseball Prospectus has the Yanks with the #23 farm system. Someone like Texas is a lot more likely.
-
At the end of the year sure. If the Rays are in the thick of the playoff hunt they won't trade him off.
-
If they should fall behind Price would go on the market and they can't afford to lose him on top of everything else. I'm sure they can get more then a comp pick for half a season of Price.
-
I agree but is that a plus feature? (that alone is worth the price if it is, I use it constantly.)
-
It's the two stolen bases that have really made the difference.
-
Would they have given up a 1 for Cruz? I don't think so.
-
I figure it would be easier to find and track here in the *looks to see where thread was moved to* MLB section, so much less traffic. This probably won't fall off the front page over here for months.

Why? .....

They needed someone to take it over for an extended period of time. Lombo doesn't look to have the arm to do that.
