Open Thread: 2010 Trade Deadline
by Scott Coleman on Jul 31, 2010 5:30 AM EDT
in Braves Trade News
Email
PrintThis is your thread to discuss all things related to the Trade Deadline. Teams have until 4pm EST to make trades without having to send players through waivers before the trade is approved.
Will the Braves make a move? For my money, the Braves won't do much of anything. At most, they'll add a reliever to help the fatigued 'pen down the stretch. But hey, that's just my opinion.
Last year, the Braves acquired Adam LaRoche for Casey Kotchman. At the time of the trade, I'd say that at least the majority of TC wasn't too thrilled with LaRoche being our only move. The Braves were hot, and some fans were un-realistically expecting a superstar for the 2nd half. Little did we know Roachy would have one of the better 2nd halves of any player traded at the deadline.
Let's just all keep this in mind: Whatever happens, happens. Frank Wren is a fantastic GM and he knows what he's doing. Embrace any new Braves players with open arms and say farewell to any players who leave the organization. We owe it to them.

Chipper Jones won’t get traded he has a 10 years of Major League Experience and 5 years on the Braves for his no-trade clause so he can veto a trade whenever he wants.

STAND PAT WREN
Keep the faith and the prospects…. fear is the darkside of the force
by fizzbot on Jul 31, 2010 7:27 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
not sure what fear and prospects have to do with it…
FF is the only prospect that could possibly come up this year and we have a pretty good guy at his position right now anyway. Any move today is about this year and giving Bobby a proper send off.

The point of prospects is not what they can do this year. If you can pull off a trade (even for top prospects) that can bring in a legitimately good player then I’m all for that, but I don’t want to see a trade for the scrap or career-year regression candidates (Hello, Alex Gonzalez!) that make up most of what is left on the market.
And we’ve actually had one of the worst starting 1B in baseball. Out of 28 qualifying 1B, Glaus is 22nd in WAR. Of course, you couldn’t expect Freeman to do any better as a 20-year-old.
Say it with me...

Hey guy I see Clevlan got DFA'd
I wonder whats up with that?
by UpstateNyBravesFan on Jul 31, 2010 7:38 AM EDT reply actions
Out of options
Blanco will take his roster spot. Doesn’t mean a move us on the way, though its worth noting that we only have 39 guys on the 40-man anyway.
by J-Freak on Jul 31, 2010 7:43 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Options didn't matter...
he’s been up and down already, so that isn’t it. DFA means removing him from the 40 man, not sending him down. There is a difference. And we have 38 guys on the 40 man last I counted (Luis Valdez is restricted and shouldn’t be included).
Actually, my dear sir, options DO matter. Options are used up by the year, not by the callup. In other words, if this were an option year, we could option him back to AAA again as often as we please within the “cannot be recalled again for 10 days except in the event of injury” restriction. How many trips he makes back and forth is completely and utterly irrelevant. But it’s not an option year. Meaning that to get him off the 25 man roster in order to make room for Blanco, we have no choice but to DFA him, thus exposing him to waivers, because we no longer have the ability to option him back.
by J-Freak on Jul 31, 2010 8:34 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Clevlen started the year in Gwinnett...
so unless we purchased his contract to call him up or something, we’ve already used an option on him this so, so hence why didn’t matter.
Can we get clarification on this?
If he’s signed on a minor league deal he can start off there, but without options he can’t be returned once called up. Unless he clears waivers, in which case we can assign him back to the minors or release him.
by J-Freak on Jul 31, 2010 8:42 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
thanks Freak
didn’t realize he had been up and down so much when he was a Tiger. I guess that explains it.

I'm calling it
Out of nowhere, the Braves get Fielder and Hart for Minor, Freeman, Melky and a handful of our awesome young minor league pitching.
I know the Brewers have said that they are “too close to contention” to trade Fielder or Hart, but they are 9.5 games out at the moment… and it makes no sense for them not to trade those guys.
They need pitching, we need hitting… it just seems to match up well for us, despite Fielder’s massive girth and douchebagginess.

But, still, he’d be a welcome addition manning first in my book. I’ve always liked Glaus, but he just looks as beat down as Brett Myers wife at the moment.

Well, according to MLBTR and elsewhere...
we;ve acquired Michael Noboa from the Dbacks to help DSL for some reason, sent Mitch Jones to the Pirates for cash (hope he plays for ‘em), and cleared Clevlen off the 40 man giving us (by my count —http://mlb.mlb.com/team/roster_40man.jsp?c_id=atl , 20 pitchers since Valdez doesn’t count, 18 position players, and if Clevlen has been removed as MLBTR reported, that gives us 17 position players and 37 players total). So we’re up to something it certainly seems.
Frank Wren makes me smile…that motorboating son of a bitch.

Well, Minor would take JJ’s spot in the rotation after we trade JJ for Kemp, but if we stand pat, that means there is no JJ trade, so I guess I jumped the gun on Minor.

Ask Wren...
I’d expect we add a 3rd C eventually (be it Sammons or another) for depth in September. Maybe Glaus is about to be DL’d to rest his legs, and they’ll call up Freeman or Canizares. Maybe they are making room for Scott Proctor, or Matt Young. Could be a number or reasons.
I don’t understand why they always add a 3rd C – isn’t that what Diaz is for?

by justincredubil02 on Jul 31, 2010 8:40 AM EDT up reply actions
Emergency C and 3rd C are different in my mind...
I think Diaz can catch, if he has to and everyone else goes down so we have to put someone there. Having a 3rd C makes sense when we get to September, especially with Ross and McCann so that if one’s starting, you can use the other’s bat in a pinch hit spot but still have someone else that can adequately work behind the plate if need be. I doubt they trust Diaz to really do a good job back there, and would much rather have Sammons or someone else.
A condundrum....
Do I post about what I want to happen and who I want to trade for or who I think the Braves will trade for?
Hmmmm
by Wren_and_Stimpy on Jul 31, 2010 8:26 AM EDT reply actions
I WANT
the Braves to land Matt Kemp to play CF. Trade Kawakami, Minor, Delgado, Johnson and Vizcaino (yeah yeah, I said it) to the Dodgers for Kemp and a BP arm.
Then platoon Nate and Diaz in LF and Glaus and Hinske at 1B. Bat Kemp second and move Heyward back down to the six-hole.
RHP:
Prado, M.
Kemp, M.
Jones, C.
McCann, B.
Hinske, E.
Heyward, J.
McLouth, N.
Gonzalez, A.
LHP:
Prado, M.
Kemp, M.
Jones, C.
McCann, B.
Glaus, T.
Diaz, M.
Gonzalez, A.
Cabrera, M.
by Wren_and_Stimpy on Jul 31, 2010 8:31 AM EDT up reply actions
Our future pitching staff relies on those prospects
Wiping out three of them in one trade would be just brutal. I like the idea of Kemp, but that package is overkill.
Kawakami - 1, Halladay - 0
switch Delgado for Schafer (if he still has any worth)
but Minor and Vizcaino would have to go to make the deal even plausible.

I’d rather get a corner OF, and move Heyward to CF for the duration of this season, then get a CF in the offseason. When I say corner OF, I mean like a Choo or a Braun or a Kemp – a BIG bat, no Cody Ross crap.

I would love a CF also....
but who is out there that is trading for? Matt Kemp? I’d be shocked if the Dodgers moved him. B.J. Upton is headcase material. DeJesus is out. Posednik is gone. I’m not really sure who else.
My option for the OF. Get Josh Willingham somehow (don’t know how likely), put Gregor in CF for the rest of the year, or if you want to keep the Diaz/Hinske platoon, move Jason to CF. That is what I would do. But I’m not a GM lol.
what about Marlon Byrd from the Cubs?

I'd like Ellsbury a lot...
especially if he didn’t cost what you’d expect him too (based on how he was a year or two ago), I’d definitely like that, sticking him in CF or LF and at the top of the order. A healthy group of him, Odarp, Chipper, Heyward, Heap, and Glaus is a pretty good start in my eyes.
To a degree, and that’s the Angelos influence, but at least Baltimore didn’t come out and say “any team that gets Scott is going to hurt a lot more for getting him than we will for giving him up.”

Any Truth to the rumor...
On trading for Jacoby Ellsbury from the sox? That could be the best pick up with out breaking the bank on a slugger type.
Where did you find said rumor?
If it’s just from talks here, then no – only wishful dreaming.

Not wishful thinking- reported on MLBTR. As per FW’s MO, there have since been no confirmations that we are or aren’t nearing deal, and there’s always the possibility it was a smokescreen, trying to drum up interest in Ells while Franky makes a run at someone else. He seems particularly wily when trying to get something done.

It wasn’t a very meaty rumor, basically just stating that the GMs have spoken about him without saying whether we were close to a match or not, and there’s been no followup in more recent days.

And apple is the only one that makes Iphones...
not sure on droid or blackberry, but if they can be an overarching name with several different makers, that skews stats. But then, I’m not that tech savvy so they may be exclusive to one company like Iphones.
Only Blackberry makes Blackberrys, but Droid is manufactured by several different companies.
When I say Droid, I only refer to Android – the others are kinda crappy, IMO.

Don't blame the kids - the kids are our future :P
I don’t think “fad” is the right word.
It’s more the idea that the iPhone came out first, and Droid is seen as the attempt to recreate it on different networks.
The Zune may in fact be a hundred times better than the iPod, but the iPod will still sell more.
It’s harder to beat the stop than stay on top.
And to make this back on track – one reason I am so glad the Braves are still in first at the Deadline.

My theory on Apple – They are very innovative, but they can’t stay above the competition for long. Look back to the 80s when Apple/Mac led the way in home computers. Then Microsoft caught up, passed and blew them away in the 90s. Now, in the 00s, Apple has created a new technology (the touch-screen) and are leading the technological charge again. However, Windows 7 is better than any Mac OS, and like has already been mentioned, the Droid, Zune, etc are actually better than the iPhones.
It won’t take long for people to recognize.

Windows 7 as an OS, maybe.
But most people would prefer a Mac over a PC for numerous issues if finances weren’t one of them.
I own two desktops and two laptops in my home, and none are Macs. Namely, because I am a poor college student and cannot afford them, not because I just have a ‘happy’ for PCs.

It might take longer than you’d think, because Apple has succeeded at creating a market of Sheeple who, every year, chuck out their 45th generation iDevices to go out and acquire- by paying the same full price they payed last year for their 45th gens- the brand new 46th Gen iDevices, now with marginally improved volume controls, 1 oz less weight, and… TWO shiny apple logos.

This sentiment has shown up a lot in recent days, but it’s absolutely untrue. Remember the Peavy deal last year? It technically requires league approval, but that’s just a formality usually and yes, someone on the DL can indeed be traded.

OK...
like you say, it has to be a formality or just something they keep up their sleeve for extreme cases.
I’m not even sure what would be considered “extreme” anymore. MLowe got traded and then promptly transferred to the 60 day DL to make room for someone else, and word is he’s out for the year, yet that deal whizzed right through.
by J-Freak on Jul 31, 2010 9:15 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
But he wasn't exactly the main piece of that deal...
Lee and Smoak were. I’d assume it’s reserved for say an extreme salary dump or obviously collusion type deal. Say like we sent Chris Resop to our old friend Dayton Moore for Zach Greinke.
Ellsbury > Cameron
I’d assume the Red Sox would want something to help them now. Maybe KK and a lefty reliever, plus a lower prospect?
I’d do it in a heartbeat. I feel bad for KK pitching in Boston though…not really a fly-ball pitcher’s park.

But that's just not like Bobby Cox...
he knows how well Kenny has pitched, and knows how he’s been in the past. He plays favorites sure, but he at least gives his end of the line guys work from time to time, and can use him like Chavez or others. 1 time in a month, really?
And it isn’t like Meds has torn it up in the rotation. I think KK in the rotation and Meds in the pen makes for a better team all around.

I don't go that far...
I think Medlen has been great as a starter. But KK can be a decent reliever at least like Chavez.
Meds was tearing it up in the rotation … until this whole thing where they started pushing back his starts and having him work out of the ’pen started up.
I thought he looked pretty good last night...
one bad inning before he got plunked and had to sit (which coincidentally would have been a perfect time to call on Kenny if he hadn’t been atrophied).
I am reading on ESPN right now how tons of scouts are ripping the Oswalt deal – saying that Oswalt 2010 is not Oswalt from 5 years ago. I gotta say, first impressions for us look pretty good.

but they grow different varieties. The strawberries and blackberries came in before the heat, so it was sooooooooo good. Store strawberries just don’t match up. Different variety used for size and preserving long term. Their kind are smaller, and don’t stay fresh long, but they are so, so sweet. It’s awesome like Joey Votto.

Carlos Lee for Prospects
Could the Braves acquire Carlos Lee for a collection of prospects? He seems like the right handed power bat we’ve been seeking. Lee’s having a down year, but he’s signed through 2012. Houston would probably have to provide some financial aid to complete the deal.
His contract is atrocious. No thanks.

to Mike Cameron…why do we want an overrated OF who can’t stay healthy and isn’t very healthy, that is 37 years old?
Our best bet (for team reasons and most likely reason) is Marlon Byrd. He’d be great here. Put him in the #2 hole.
And as I said earlier, if Prado is out for a while, we are going to get Kelly Johnson. Not sources, but I can definitely see making that happen.
If anything, Cameron is an UNDERATED OF. Granted, he has health issues, but he still hits 20-25 HRs every year, plays well-above-average defense and gets on base at a good clip. He would be an immediate upgrade to anything we have, and is a better option to anything allegedly out on the market right now.

He's playing, but not exactly healthy...
Jul 27 CF Mike Cameron, who has been playing through a painful lower abdominal tear, left Monday night’s game after the top of the ninth inning. After diving back into first base, he said the injury began to act up. But he’s hopeful of being able to play Tuesday night. “Sometimes, as the game goes on, it gets just a little cranky,” Cameron said. “It’s just the same thing as always. Some days are better than others. Today, it was just cranky all day.”

Another question:
Are we sure Glausosaur is going to get back on track? Seriously, I’m getting worried. He hasn’t shown anything in a month. I hope he gets it back together.
I think, like HeyJude has mentioned before, that he’s hurt and is trying to play through some pain.
A few days off (even 15) just might bring us the old Troy back for the final stretch.

Not really, Matty D can play full time in LF for a couple of weeks, or you can just platoon him with Blanco if you really don’t think he can handle RHP like he did last year …
Just let Glaus sit for two weeks...
see Heyward, etc. That kind of rest can really do good. And if he’s healthy after a week and a half, he can rehab to get back going and come on strong from day 15. Find one stretch with an off day or two to let him miss as few games as possible. Unfortunately with Gonzalez and Prado and everyone else going down, we can’t afford it.

Nope.
But you might be the only one who thinks:
A: The Pirates would be willing to trade him
B: The asking price wouldn’t be:
JT
JJ
Hanson
Heyward
Freeman
and your firstborn child.

Not too shabby. Probably could stand to walk more, because I imagine he gets quite a few infield hits.
and that's pretty consistant for a one-and-a-half-year player.
Put up .365 last year.
Has 42 BBs this year.
Heyward has 51, to put that in perspective.

Having a healthy Heyward back in the lineup was like Frank Wren making a trade for Pujols. I love that big 20 year old kid. :-)
Dear Prado
You can use my pinky! I’ll cut it off and give it to you.

Two questions...
what are the Yankees offering for Berkman?
And would you include Hanson in a package for Braun or McCutcheon? I think I would, depending on who else had to go with them on either side. I love Big Red, but he has had his struggles and little blips on the screen. Plus it’s not like we lack high upside young arms, and we do lack an impact OF bat from the right side.
That was a done deal, just not officially announced.
I would include Hanson in a package for either of those two guys, but not another one of our front -line prospects.

Probably not for McCutchen.
I’m not sure why.

I'd consider it if it was one of the lower level...
I think Lopez has a lot of work to do, and Vizcaino’s injuries worry me. Not a Hanson and Minor/Delgado/Teheran, but maybe another.
And I know, just wondering what the Astros are getting as I haven’t seen that anywhere. Just that they are paying a good bit of Berkman’s deal (Ed Wade may now be passing Minaya and Moore as the most inept GM. He gives up both veterans, AND eats a lot of salary, AND doesn’t get any good prospects for them, that’s triple fail
Ed Wade had a triple fail...
1) Dealing the faces of his franchise
2) Paying their salaries
3) not getting any good prospects for them
FAIL
on assessing the relevance of fail images.

There should be a fail image of that.

IDEA
Sign Heyward’s lil bro Jacob. So what if he’s fifteen? HE HAS THE SAME BLOOD OF JASON.

They just traded for Chris Snyder…I’m not sure if that fits in with this somehow…

Turns out, I was right
9:31am: The D’Backs will receive Bobby Crosby and Ryan Church in the deal, tweets Jack Magruder of FOX Sports Arizona. This explains the call-ups today of Argenis Diaz and Jeff Clement, to some extent.
