2011 Trade Deadline Discussion

[MiamiHomer]

You make it sound like he sucks.

[Bobbob1313]

He was an All Star!

Anytime players get overrated, I turn on them. It's how I roll.

[Ramp]

Edwin Jackson can throw 98?

[HUGG]

PTBNL will be chase utley
--------------------
According to my scout friend who was in Toronto to see Felix Hernandez.

They're also getting a david bell signed baseball.
--------------------
I texted him "The PTBNL is Chase Utley right?"

And he said "lol...yeah"

You talk about him like he hasn't had three productive years before this one with normal .BABIP's. He's also put up those numbers this year on a team that might just reach historically bad status. Houston is a joke.

Philadelphia didn't overrate him.

[nny]

Hunter Pence career OPS: 117
Hammer's career OPS: 120

Smart as balls to sell him on his .370 BABIP. He's a good player, but he's far, far, far, far from anything above that.

And what does that matter?

[Bobbob1313]

He's an .800 OPS bat in a hitter friendly park for right handed hitters who has played neutral defense for 3 years in a row.

He is overrated.

[HUGG]

.282/.328/.457 career hitter outside of Minute Maid

[Bobbob1313]

He's a good player. He should not have been an All Star this year, and he's probably not worth two top 75 prospects.

[Party]

the more I hear Mitch Williams bitch about the Pence deal, the more I like this deal for Houston

Bitch Williams.

[MiamiHomer]

Astros now looking to move Bourn.

[Erick]

Hunter Pence career OPS: 117
Hammer's career OPS: 120

Smart as balls to sell him on his .370 BABIP. He's a good player, but he's far, far, far, far from anything above that.

And what does that matter?

Because he'll probably get better pitches to hit now with more protection in the lineup.

[Bobbob1313]

He is better than Hunter Pence.

[Party]

If anything, Citizens Bank Park will make him better than he really is.
