June 30, 201610 yr Like I said, whoever it was -- the board would be upset. It happens every trade. Lets not forget King Kike
June 30, 201610 yr Rodney helps the SP. The deeper your bullpen, the less you need from SP. this is why youre an all star in my eyes. but yeah, still get odorizzi.
June 30, 201610 yr Paddack? Wow. Gonna offer this though... I don't follow the farm closely but didn't this kid kinda just get hot? Was he on the way to dominance or was he just on a hot streak? There's a chance we struck when the iron was hot and got a good player for this kid while we could. It'll take years to find out but just saying. I think he's the real deal. He's dominated since becoming a starter, as has NEVER given up more than 3 runs in a game (which he did exactly once, his last start in rookie ball last year). Granted, small sample size (only 13 starts), but he's been the model of consistency. Padres did their homework in this case.
June 30, 201610 yr Author they dont need rodney. they need SP and a farm He has been excellent and is still throwing 95-97 but he's 39.
June 30, 201610 yr he was worth getting excited for. rodney is due for some massive regression. Props to padres for selling high I don't know about massive regression. He was the second best reliever on the market (assuming Andrew Miller wasn't available so just Chapman). Rodney has been good for the most part, and his advanced metrics this year are good too.
June 30, 201610 yr I love how some people think this deal means they won't also acquire a SP. Is there a rule stating they can't make another trade?
June 30, 201610 yr He has been excellent and is still throwing 95-97 but he's 39. Who cares how old he is? He's signed for this year and next year and he's producing. We don't need him to be good for 5 years
June 30, 201610 yr I love how some people think this deal means they won't also acquire a SP. Is there a rule stating they can't make another trade? they traded their only good and exciting prospect
June 30, 201610 yr Honestly, it sucks we gave him away, but I'm not making a big deal about this. I don't give a shit about our farm system anyway. It's now or never. We have to try and win something before Jose gets to free agency. And not just Urena, Fernandez too.
June 30, 201610 yr Who cares how old he is? He's signed for this year and next year and he's producing. We don't need him to be good for 5 years yeah but we need SP in 5 years since we have literally 0 in the farm and jose long gone
June 30, 201610 yr Some people said they didn't need Urbina in 2003 too and he ended up playing a big role in their success. I would do that trade over a trillion times. Life altering. Rodney helps the SP. The deeper your bullpen, the less you need from SP. Yes and yes! If Vince hates Ramos just wait until he sees rodney pitch He cant be as bad as Heath Bell or Jorge Julio? Can he?
June 30, 201610 yr I love how some people think this deal means they won't also acquire a SP. Is there a rule stating they can't make another trade? Opportunity cost.
June 30, 201610 yr they traded their only good and exciting prospect They'll add a decent SP too. The core of the team is already in the big leagues. They've fucked up the minor league system for years now, no point in caring about it now. They should be going for it with this core.
June 30, 201610 yr I love how some people think this deal means they won't also acquire a SP. Is there a rule stating they can't make another trade? *looks toward Mr. Loria*
June 30, 201610 yr I would do that trade over a trillion times. Life altering. Yes and yes! He cant be as bad as Heath Bell or Jorge Julio? Can he? No issue with rodney he's fine, but he's not chapman or miller or betances & our bullpen is fine (they had nothing to do with last 2 games). Paddack has ace ceiling. Stupid trade.
June 30, 201610 yr Single A Prospect in return. Not sure who. This actually hurts my fantasy team because it appears that Rodney will not be closer. me too LOL
June 30, 201610 yr Marlins going all out to win this thing. That's because Chen is starting, you'd go all out to win tonight's game too!
June 30, 201610 yr You take the gamble today and hoping it doesn't bite you tomorrow. I just rather see a bigger deal go down where we could address multiple needs. Next trade needs to be a LOOGY and a SP.
June 30, 201610 yr please delete my paddack thread im going to punch a cat everytime i see it now Nope. It's now a Hall of Fame thread.
June 30, 201610 yr Also, polly, good thing about Rodney is that when he's on, he can dominate lefties with his changeup. Barraclough/Phelps struggle against them. Also, we can use Phelps for more than 1 inning now out of the pen.
June 30, 201610 yr maybe they plan on moving phelps back to the rotation? I dont see why rodney is needed. we're fine 7-8-9. It's getting to the 7th with a lead that is the problem. wonder what the mariners are up to
