Solid move by KC. Good to see a small market club win out over some others.

@Recruiter
Alderson is starting the season in AA I think, we have Brad Lincoln who should be coming up from AAA around June 1, I would think thats when they send Aldy to AAA.
Multiple Teams Interested In Noah Lowry

This would be a very nice move for us... I'm a big fan of this cat regardless, so it would be nice to see em in black and gold.
Pirates Interested In Duchscherer
Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Pirates are "one of several teams" interested in Justin Duchscherer, who missed all of the 2009 season, first due to hip and elbow surgery, then as a result of clinical depression. Duchscherer, 32, pitched to a 2.54 ERA in 22 starts...
4000 Happy Meals and Brandon Moss for Fielder?
Brewers Owner Acknowledges Fielder Could Be Dealt
Brewers owner Mark Attanasio believes that Prince Fielder is at his maximum trade-market value right now, writes Don Walker of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Fielder is due to receive $10.5MM on the back end of a two-year $18MM agreement and is hitting .297/.406/.596 with 43 HRs. With that le...
Well said Max, this one looked like a win for the Buccos when it went down, and now it most definitely is.
The Giants And Freddy Sanchez
SATURDAY: Baggarly got the chance to interview Sanchez on Saturday afternoon about his injury, free agency, and many other topics. He suspects the Giants will attempt to re-sign the second baseman to a two-year contract this winter. THURSDAY: The Giants expected more from Freddy Sanchez when th...
Is St. Louie in on Sano now?
Cards Void Wagner Mateo's Contract
8:28pm: Cardinals GM John Mozeliak told Derrick Goold of the P-D he has no plans to renegotiate with Mateo at this time. Mozeliak is disappointed the deal fell apart. 5:37pm: Badler talked to Mateo's agent Edgar Mercedes, who said his client will be among those in attendance at a tryout in Octo...
Nyjer trade was not brilliant my man, it looks great now, but there's no way Nyjer keeps it goin at this pace. And I'm still confident Milledge is gonna be a star.
This seems like a good move though, keepin Rizzo.
Cheers to the Natty Lites.
Nationals Tab Rizzo As GM
8:55pm: We can close the books on this one for now: Bill Ladson at MLB.com reports that Mike Rizzo will be named the permanent general manager of the Nationals at a news conference on Thursday. The decision was apparently made earlier this week, probably in the thick of the Strasburg negotiation...
Couldn't of said it better myself Pat. Bright days ahead.
Odds & Ends: Deadline, Halladay, French
Just a few more links on a slow rumors night... Scott Miller of CBSsports.com posts his deadline winners and losers. Unlike most of the reaction pieces we've seen, Miller defends Pirates GM Neal Huntington "as he stubbornly sticks to his vision." I think Huntington put it best when he said "We ...
Bucs also got infielder Josh Harrison in that pitcher swap with the Cubbies.

Bleacher,
If that exact situation happened I'd have to agree with ya.
Giants Acquire Freddy Sanchez
6:19pm: Kovacevic says that no money is being exchanged in the Sanchez deal, which makes it all the more impressive for the Pirates. Keith Law (Insider) recently ranked the 20-year-old Alderson the 26th-best prospect in all of baseball. 5:51pm: Kovacevic is reporting that the minor leaguer is AA...
No Dick,
You're a San Fran fan? You've been tryin to defend the Freddy trade all day.
Then all the sudden you want to talk about the Mariner trade.
I'm saying, even if we got absolutely nothing for Jack and Snelly (which wasn't the case at all), we STILL ROBBED SAN FRAN.

Hey Dick,
We won the Mariners deal hands down. But even if we didn't. Like say we literally gave them Wilson and Snell for nothing.
YOU STILL GOT ROBBED.

Rob Neyer says in reference to Dave Cameron calling this an easy win for the Pirates: "Time will tell... I can't agree that the Pirates are the easy winners here."
Yes, clearly he agrees with you that the Pirates "got bent over". LOL!

See, I've been upset at some horrible moves my team made in the past, but I ACCEPTED it, I didn't lurk around, googling till I found the first geek for ESPN that made me feel a little better.
I mean, you got your fellow San Francisco Gaybo fans in here admitting how bad of a trade this was. You have people coming in that don't care about the Bucs or Giants saying how bad it was. You have blog after blog and tweet after tweet telling how bad it was.
I mean, c'mon Dick.

Can't wait to see these "G-Men" (LOL) fall flat on their faces... no shot at making a run, Garko & Freddy? Really?
