David Ginsburg: Duquette at the trade deadline

[scOtt]

DD, players' reactions. On getting Hellickson, Beckham, hanging onto Britton and even Brach.

''You gotta try,'' Duquette declared, defending a maneuver that seemingly defied logic.

Never give up.

I thought he agreed to terms on a Britton trade. Hellickson isn't trying. But, he helped make a wish for a cancer patient, trade away, Duq.

❤️

Go O's!

I think Dan never got what he wanted. Aroldis big.

At least Eduardo for Andrew Miller big.

Sides being reversed of course. We'd be getting an Eduardo.

Some other bigs: Zach Davies is the ace of the Brewers staff (16W / 7L, 3.85 ERA) and the dud we got for him It;s (Parra) is batting clean-up and .328 for the probably playoff-bound Rockies. Hader is considered the top left-handed pitching prospect in baseball and has a 1.44 ERA with 41 Ks, 15 hits and 1 home run-against in 31.33 not-just-LOOGY innings (23 games). Et cetera et cetera. So the record's very mixed and all we can do is hope that the O's we do have will be enough. It's going to be intense.

Yeah I couldn't tell if Angelos nixed a deal, the health of a prospect, or if we never accepted. Based on the sounds of the offers I'm glad we didn't trade ZB & I'm glad we didn't trade for Miguel.

Hitting for Colorado doesn't matter. His ops is .222 points higher at home. 

Hader is very good. He's got the wipe out stuff, his outing in NY was hard to watch. Davies has been unbelievable recently. In the 2nd half he's giving up an OBP% under .295 & less than .30 HRs per 9. He had absolutely no issues with the Dodgers or Nats, he's fun to watch if you can block out the pain.

 A 26th round pick. We may have found another 26th round gem in Bishop. The future is bright in Baltimore.

That's an interesting read, we don't trust guys hit in the face with baseballs. Take Moran elsewhere. ?

I'm not glad about that. Certainly we had a spare minor league IFer lying around...

Their interest in Moran suggest they expect Manny to walk. Also if one of Forrest Whitley, Francis Martes, Derek Fisher, Kyle Tucker or Yordan Alvarez isn't in the deal I'm out.

OK, so you get no complaints when Ubaldo, Tillman, Hellickson, etc.  keep  getting their hats handed to them because you are glad we didn't add someone who has pitched better than all of them.
