July 30, 200422 yr the one where we loose...Choi, Penny, Stokes, Murphy and get Lo Duca, Mota, Encarnacion dont like it 483037[/snapback] I say hell no to that one
July 30, 200422 yr Is the Penny and bench player for Lo Duca and Ishii out of the question? 483118[/snapback] thats the only realistic trade rumor i've heard so far
July 30, 200422 yr Choi's a problem? 483158[/snapback] What team would want a power hitting first-baseman who has an OBP of .400 and makes $300,000 a year, and is going to get better as he gains more experience?
July 30, 200422 yr You know what.... This trade isn't so bad. We all know that Encarnacion is a solid player. LoDuca would be a tremendous upgrade at catcher. Mota would be an incredible addition to the bullpen... Conine would move to first. Our outfield would consist of Cabrera, Pierre, and Encarnacion.... I hate to lose Penny and Choi, but this isn't too bad of a trade.
July 30, 200422 yr Encarnacion was the worst hitting starting rightfielder in the NL last year, and ain't exactly lighting it up this year.
July 30, 200422 yr Encarnacion is batting .235 483195[/snapback] let's not forget his abysmal .289 OBP and .417 SLG. my god, offensively he's absolutely atrocious for an outfielder. he's a huge downgrade from choi. hell, even if choi for lo duca and enc straight up left us even offensively, giving up penny for a reliever is just asinine.
July 30, 200422 yr Encarnacion is batting .235 483195[/snapback] let's not forget his abysmal .289 OBP and .417 SLG. 483224[/snapback] wow that is terrible.
July 30, 200422 yr We all know how bad Conine has been this year, but even Conine is a significant offensive upgrade over Encarnacion.
July 30, 200422 yr Encarnacion is batting .235 483195[/snapback] let's not forget his abysmal .289 OBP and .417 SLG. my god, offensively he's absolutely atrocious for an outfielder. he's a huge downgrade from choi. hell, even if choi for lo duca and enc straight up left us even offensively, giving up penny for a reliever is just asinine. 483224[/snapback] Especially when we don't get a starter in return. I mean, i hate thinking it, but what happens if Beckett gets another blister? We need Penny because Beckett staying healthy isnt given.. ugh As every minute goes by I am hating this trade more and more.
July 30, 200422 yr Just to give you guys an idea of how terrible a season Encarnacion is having. Alex Gonzalez has the same OPS as Encarnacion.
July 30, 200422 yr for those of you who still like this trade, our potential "fifth starters" of tejera, phelps, bump, and wayne have put up the following numbers for their starts: they average 3 and 2/3 innings per start. they have an ERA above 9 per start. this is suicidal.
July 30, 200422 yr lo duca sucks the second half he might actually end up being a downgrade check out his stats, im pretty sure every year he has had has been crap in the second half
July 30, 200422 yr for those of you who still like this trade, our potential "fifth starters" of tejera, phelps, bump, and wayne have put up the following numbers for their starts: they average 3 and 2/3 innings per start. they have an ERA above 9 per start. this is suicidal. 483257[/snapback] Yea and just think if we have to use 2 of them in the starting rotation
July 30, 200422 yr Just to give you guys an idea of how terrible a season Encarnacion is having. Alex Gonzalez has a higher OPS than him. 483254[/snapback] thats not that amazing gonzalez really hasnt been that bad for us this year....lately
