Orioles trade Davies for Parra. Your verdict?

[Frobby]

Zach Davies picked up his first major league win yesterday, scattering 4 hits and allowing 1 run in 7 IP.

I assumed he would have some good starts. I am glad he did. For him.

And we're going to the playoffs with Parra. What's your point?

Oh, wait....

I'm sure he'll pick up wins against terrible NL teams. Was in favor of the trade at the time so I don't think I can get too upset. Time will tell on Davies

Oh, wait....

But he had a top 3 OPS for an outfielder when they traded for him!

He was an elite MOO bat!

This gives the O's an inside track on signing him!

The defensive metrics are screwy, he's a plus defender, he has two gold gloves!

Wish our starters could do this.

Ah, yes, the Gold Gloves. How could I forget?

[Ruzious]

Lifetime OPS+ is 97, and it's 72 for the O's. Gotta expect starting corner OFers to get over 100.

On the bright side, if there is one, shouldn't it be easier to resign him?

Are we sure that's a good thing?

Our starters do this exactly. That's why we're good against terrible teams and 20 under against team .500 or better. Just in the AL only Oakland has been terrible all year. We have a pretty good record vs the Sox and A's. In the NL you have teams that are at a new level of terrible. The AL has a lot of parity.

From the day it was announced to today, at no point was this not a horrible trade.

Is your main concern Davies? Or that this was a flawed team?
