Wish our starters could do this.

The trade is ONLY a good one IF we make the playoffs. Only one East team is getting a wildcard, and it sure looks like Toronto. Tulo, Price, Revere, Lowe.... we had trouble getting wins against them before.

They aren't possibly making the playoffs and he is a rental... why would they possibly care?

Let's hope he's 2015 version of 2014 Pearce.

Somewhat true, but in theory the 7th, 8th, 9th batters won't be on as much as the 9th-2nd batters in general.

He's going to love the clubhouse chemistry and Buck's managing and resign.. it's all part of the trade calculus.

Parra has been worth -2.1 dWAR this year (-.7 at each OF spot). By the way, we have a pitching staff predicated on superior defense. He is a lot better offensively.

If we win and they lose today, we're in 1st place! I will not able to watch the game, so good luck guys!

Agreed. Ultimately we cannot afford to deplete our minors as we cannot supplement this loss by huge and/or numerous signings. This I think is particularly true now while we have a fairly poor minor league system (in terms of future prospects).

He hit around .350 the 2nd half in limited use.
