    "the whole deal is "yawn" to me" this is what I meant

    While the 26-year-old Coello doesn't overpower batters, he gets his share of swings and misses with a low-90s fastball that he cuts and sinks. He backs it up with a quality splitter and occasionally useful curveball. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/?p=10916

    I make this trade for three main reasons. ***TT had his chance to start in Iowa in 2010. His spring relegated him to Tennessee again. ***Coello has shown solid high minors numbers in 2010. With 3 remaining options, he has the next four spring trainings to get it right and produce for the big club. ***Thomas has been passed by Darwin Barney. This spring, he was going to be passed by Junior Lake and Marwin Gonzalez. Shortly thereafter, DJ LeMahieu and Ryan Flaherty would pass him. The above five can play more positions than second, and will be better defensively. Thomas may 'figure it out' in Boston. Likely, neither will be world beaters. But when you get a mid-teens BoSox prospect for a non-factor, you take that gamble.

    yanks cut neal cotts...yow...kinda early.

    it's not stellar, but tony thomas isn't stellar...or very good...himself. "meh" power, sketchy D, and an alarming K rate for a AA guy without the walks to make up for it. if thomas had the arm to at least cover 3rd/RF/SS he might be more interesting...he's looking like a 2nd/LF bench guy at best. the whole deal is "yawn" to me...i don't expect much out of either guy, but coello should at least be some good AAA insurance for the inevitable pen injury.

    This Pujols speculation is already tiresome. The Cubs are broke. Old Joe Ricketts needs to shove the kidz aside and put this nonsense to bed right, now!

  • VirginiaPhil 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    At AAA Pawtucket, Coello yielded 44 hits in 64 innings, for a lovely H/9 of 6.2. But 10 of those hits were home runs! So he gave up one HR for every 4.4 hits. Oh, well, Marmol used to give up home runs, too.

    SI's Heyman channels his inner Phil Rogers: "Three competing executives say they expect the rival Cubs to make a big push for Pujols and, indeed, they do look like the greatest outside possibility at the moment. Wouldn't that cast him in a new light for Cardinal Nation? The Cubs have the resources and the need, and execs feel they will pursue either Prince Fielder or more likely Pujols. "They'll give him the A-Rod deal," one exec opined. "They'll give him $33 million or $34 million for seven years," guessed another exec." http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/jon_heyman/02/16/albert.p…

    I'd like to see Smith beat out Jeff Baker for a roster spot. In order to do that, he would have to show some proficiency at second base, since Ramirez may not go on the DL for a few months. I note that Smith has played 32 games at second in his three full seasons in the minors, including nine last year. It's not a lot, but Baker never played second at any level as a pro until 2008, when he started 47 games there for the Rockies. (Barmes was the regular.) Baker must have learned the position in ST. Anyway, Phil, if you see Smith working out at second, please let us know!

    You make this trade because you can never have enough pitching prospects and we have an abundance of quality 2B candidates on our roster. I'm kidding about the second part. I'm actually pulling for Barney to win the job because I think he can be everything Theriot was supposed to be and was not. Does anyone know if the high K totals for the new pticher is because of a great fastball, breaking pitch, or some other reason.

  • Paul Noce 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    AZ Phil's last paragraph sums up Thomas. Coello has an intriguing strikeout total, and has been very hard to hit, based on his numbers. His stats look a lot like Carlos Marmol - shuts down hitters but walks too many while striking out everyone else. Thomas wasn't going anywhere with us, it's a decent gamble. 201 ip, 144 hits, 239 k's, 85 bb's.

    Why make this trade?

    Marlon Byrd, Scott Moore, and Bobby Scales have arrived and participated in workouts this morning. Byrd looked very rusty and really struggled to hit anything solid, but Marquez Smith had a nice BP session, hitting several bombs onto 6th Place. Smith's hitting style reminds me a lot of Gary Matthews, Sr.

    Thomas sounds like a Helluva prospect. I think Pedroia should watch his back!

    I am not sure what the rules state, but often there is some quantity (i.e. well above the body's natural level) bar for doping restrictions. In biking, I think that too many red blood cells is actually tested for.

  • Dr. aaron b 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    No need for this really? Might as well have gone year to year with the guy.

  • navigator 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    Byrd noticed many of the nutritional store supplements **he was taking** were showing up on baseball's banned substance list. This is a tacit admission that he was violating MLB doping rules!! He just never tested positive.

  • The Real Neal 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    I would bet that he'd take that contract. The thing is that Pujols has already given the Cardinals a great deal for the first 11 years of his career, so he feels like he should be paid at least close to market value. Eight years for $220 would get it done for sure. I think the Cardinals are in for a rude awakening if they think Pujols is going to go on the open market and get less than 8/$200.

    Thinking of Interleague games as "a chance to get Koyie Hill into the lineup" is the final nail in the coffin for my appreciation of that concept.
