Roch: Matusz Traded (along with draft pick)

[Can_of_corn]

Decided to look up the two guys the O's got in the "Trade".

I seem to recall some folks managed to muster some enthusiasm for them.

Trevor Belicek

A+ Frederick 6.84 ERA, 1.66 WHIP 8.6K/9 4BB/9

Brandon Barker

AA Bowie 4.43 ERA 1.44 WHIP 6.1K/9 3BB/9

Maybe sometimes it would be better to just "give" a team a player rather than "trade".

Yeah but Matusz is done. Addition by subtraction on this team.

Not saying I wanted to keep Matusz.

Just saying that the O's were not trading for players in return.

It was about selling the pick to cover Matusz's salary.

That's kinda what I was trying to say.

Eh, it's organizational depth for the O's and the Braves needed to cull their herd a bit.

I don't mind getting the guys back.

Rereading it myself. I love the post that calls Kim's contract dead money.

I don’t see any connection to Vietnam.
