Final Day Trade Rumor Countdown thread. (Deadline 4 PM)

Stephen Drew traded to the Yankees. That might help them if Drew remembers how to hit.

B Rob to bench?

That was a pretty interesting tweet.

All I know is that in ST he looked every bit as average as Brian Burres. I mean the kid had a nothing fastball and show-me breaking stuff. Not one pitch was plus anything. And while it was ST, it looks to have carried over to the regular season.

That's not to say he can't bounce back - he's only 21 - just saying, that's what I saw.

Like I said, pitch-ability guys worry me. From what I have seen if you have a good idea how to pitch you can make hitters in the lower leagues look pretty bad. If the raw stuff isn't there and doesn't develop then that won't carry through up the ladder.

That may have just made the Tigers the team to beat in the AL.

I think the Tigers and A's are downright scary.

This just in. The Red Sox just accidentally traded Mike Napoli to my house for a pet to be named later.

Well if it is a bulldog then he won't be able to make the trips to Toronto.

And I hope for your sake Napoli is potty trained.

I'm absolutely find with the Miller-E. Rod trade. You have to go for it and improve your team, which Miller clearly does. E Rod, while still quite young, has struggled at AA. In my opinion, Zach Davies has clearly passed him as a prospect as well. We'll be just fine. We traded from an area of strength.

Well I'm happy with the trade of our third best prospect if Miller can be extended. If not it's seems that's a steep price for a few months.

Well, if Price goes to Detroit, then kind of good for us. We don't play Detroit in the regular season, Skanks get them 7 more times. TOR plays em 3 times still.

Just heard it from his mouth on MLBN.

This stinks for playoffs matchups.

Have to pull Matt off the DL and have him DH.

[Stotle]

By this you mean she could have been more descriptive?

Yes. My reading of the comment is that someone in the org passed along make-up/attitude issues. That type of comment is usually "press code" for the org soured on him but we don't want to air that laundry.

Ehhh... I'm more worried about the Tigers now. Oakland just doesn't put fear into me, even with Lester.

Its all about the playoffs now. We have to decide how to beat Max, Verlander, and David P in a short series.

Forget extensions, And Bundy, Harvey, Cisco, Walker, Berry, Rodriguez was probably the list after this season.

[Ripken]

Let's dump the whole bullpen and carry 19 hitters, 5 starters, and Miller.

Extending Miller would make this pen in 2015:

Britton - L

ODay - R

Miller - L

Hunter - R

Webb - R

McFarland - L

Brach - R

I may be wrong, but hasn't Verlander been very hittable this year?

Verlander's not the worry. With the way they've been pitching, you've gotta figure out how to beat Scherzer, Price, Sanchez, and Porcello/Smyly
