Trade Watch (It starts)

[weams]

Depends one of the two failed physical last night. So they are probably taking in a guy with a undisclosed injury. Hence the higher pay out.

No. That guy was removed from the trade.

Apparently the failed player was Sean Mannea (sp?)

So Finn replaced Mannea. That explains the cash kicker.

Right this.

Just saw. Also explains the cash kicker.

Would much rather have had EdRod. What am I just not seeing with Finnegan?

Nothing. He's a very nice bullpen piece that got a bump in the public's eye because of his September/playoff performances.

Not last year you would not have. No one would have. Finnegan was the number 17 pick.

Didn't we light him up in the playoffs? And the Giants did too?

We have gotten to him several times I think. Like Toronto has Gausman.

I hated the trade last year. Go back to the Miller trade thread. I'm probably most vocal. And however EdRod might have fallen, I still just don't see it with Finnegan. You say he's the 17th pick, but so what? Bullpen arms can be taken in the first round. That almost looks like why KC drafted him. He was just add water ready to join their big league squad and contribute that season. But at no point last year or this year has he really struck me as the "17th pick." That's why I'm asking. Forget EdRod, what is it I'm not seeing with this Son of Erin?

He was good in first two rounds, not impressive against Baltimore, and very bad against San Fran.

A's/Angels -- 4 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO

Orioles -- .1 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 SO

Giants -- 1.2 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 1 SO

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with getting lit up. I didn't mean that as a shot against his potential, I just didn't understand how that performance would be what people were getting excited about. If he has upside that makes people excited, that should exist independent of his playoff performance, because that wasn't that good if I'm remembering correctly (which I could be mistaken).

The Big Winner here is Cueto. No QO. No pick attachment. If he can keep that ligament in that arm, the sky is the limit now.

He was the number 17 pick last year. Last year. He is something.

This is SO much worse than Miller. SO MUCH.

Even if it is "so much" more. It could be said that two months of a starter is so much more than two months of a reliever. And still, the point remains, if they win a World Series, and cueto plays a big part, aren't you cool with that? I feel like if roles were switched and the orioles made this move in a similar situation you may be singing a different tune.
