Remember, Pudge got struck out by Tony Pena Jr.
(and with the way that Rodney is pitching, Farnsworth could be the closer in a few days.  . No way that Zumaya shouldn't be.) |
Pudz has been cold this year. I don't have a lot of trust in Farnsworth though. I remember his days with the cubs, and he seemed to blow a lot of games.
Overall, one eh player for another eh player.
Cubs should have traded for a middle reliever/closer for some prospects. Although when wood comes off the DL they'll have Wood and shark to use as they please.
I think Boston's in good shape. I'm glad they haven't traded manny mid season. They should trade him at the end of the season though. I really like him as a red sox. If they pick up Bay now, it would be a sweet deal on their part. They get someone who's hot this season, when manny hasn't been, when manny's probably going to be gone at the end of the season anyway. This way they're getting a hot bat in their lineup. Their bats are cold now, which sucks, but they have the potential to really heat up.
Those are the only 2 teams i really follow. Yankees seem to be making a real push for the division or wild card though. Picking up Nady a few days ago, and then picking up Pudz now. I have a feeling it will be Boston/Rays though and the yankees will be left in the cold.
Rays are looking at Dunn which would suck though. Hopefully that doesn't go through.
