Brayan Pena

He got claimed by the Royals. And we get $50,000. Big whoop.

 

 

Damn this 75 word limit.

Sooooooo

we could not have traded him to the Royals for a C prospect? Heck even a C- prospect. I guess $50,000 is worth more to the Braves I guess. Or maybe the Royals or any team would not give up nothing for him. Its just hard to believe that but apparently thats true though.

I just don't understand...

... why Pena isn’t a hotter commodity. I just don’t know how many major league teams have a backup catcher as good as Pena. He’s a good hitter, he hits from both sides, and he can run for a fat man. He’s not the best defenisive catcher, but not terrible. I still don’t know why Porky Miller is the better option behind the plate. I think I could out hit him.

BP must be terrible at calling a baseball game. That’s the only viable reason I can think of.

Well...

..for the past year the Braves tried him at other positions pretty much signaling that the Braves didn’t look highly on him as a catcher. He played first, third and left field for Richmond last year. Trying to find another position but it looks like that might have been a failed experiment.

ALREADY poor guy. maybe we can reclaim him and send him to AAA

So what was the point

Of them even claiming him??

by jjcollins on Jun 1, 2008 2:04 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Here’s my though.

They call up Davies, DFA Pena. Listen, the Royals were the only team (we can assume) that wanted Pena. So Moore is taking a chance and trying to slip him through waivers a second time. I’m not sure what KC’s waiver priority is but I’m guessing if no on else wanted him – that he’ll make it through waivers a second time and be assigned to Triple -A Omaha.

Can the Braves re-claim him now? And then send him to AAA?

by jjcollins on Jun 1, 2008 1:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

They probably already have him lined up in a trade. I hate the Royals for doing this to him.
