Cesar Izturis level power.

The next Brandon Fahey?  @weams

How did they get him with the 60 man only trade rule?  I doubt he even comes to the states this year so seems odd to make trade now.

They also picked up Mishael Deson in the Givens trade from Colorado.

His signing bonus was $350,000.

The Rockies signed Dominican outfielder Mishael Deson for $350,000 when he turned 16 on July 7. Deson stood out for his physical upside and chance to stay in center field. He's added about 15 pounds since signing and is now up to 6-foot-3, 170 pounds.

Pretty much a throw-in.   Not terrible for a third piece when the other two pieces were pretty decent.

Well, that’s two guys so far who don’t necessarily get the blood racing...

Remind me where/how we acquired Zastryzny?

( I spelled that without help... yay me)

Minor league free agent last offseason

What has changed to allow them to announce PTBNL trades? I thought these would be post-season announcements.

Jesuchristo, ustedes se quejan de todo.  Dame más jóvenes de 17 a 18 años que pesen 6’2” 170 libras y sean atléticos.

Quit complaining about everything. Basically we picked up an additional two international draft picks that have been seasoned for two years. Hand me a dozen 17 year old 6’3 kids that are about 170 pounds , athletic and have never watched baseball in their lives and 1 or 2 will end up a top 30 organizational player in two to 3 years if their heart is in it.  Better than getting a 27 year old AAAA player or the lazy guy who road his fastball into a draft pick but never listened to anyone after and still is reliving his days as homecoming king and thinks he can still get by with that straight as an arrow four steamer topping out at 92.

A creative way by Elias to acquire talent from the Dominican. He picked up two athletes. A CF and a SS.

Who is complaining?  This was the guy they got for Bleier.  Seems like a decent return for what was traded.

@Philipkinda did, he hoped that other PTBNLs are more exciting than this.  And then said Bleier looked like a character from the Dick van Dyke show.  No doubt he was listening to Chopin, wearing a smoking jacket (with an ascot) and drinking a vintage cab sauv when he made that astute assessment.
