Motor City Sonics Posted July 31 Posted July 31 WOW. Scott Harris with the ALL-IN move. Amazing. (I'm just practicing). Come on, man, did they consult Steve Yzerman at the deadline here? I mean, crickets, man, crickets Quote

RatkoVarda Posted July 31 Author Posted July 31 OK then; is this guy any better than any rando arm currently at Toledo? Quote
gehringer_2 Posted July 31 Posted July 31 (edited) 7 minutes ago, RatkoVarda said: OK then; is this guy any better than any rando arm currently at Toledo? Not from the look of it. Long time middle reliever with a career WHIP of almost 1.5. We're not going to want to see him work at leverage. Edited July 31 by gehringer_2 Quote
IdahoBert Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Montero‘s last decent season was three years ago with the Astros and after that season he signed a three-year contract for $11.5 million a year. He’s a rental. Do they see something in him they can “fix?“ Quote
RatkoVarda Posted July 31 Author Posted July 31 So Montero replaces Enns? Montero's advanced #s much better than ERA; has some velocity; BBs are a problem Quote

SoCalTiger Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Trades so far about as expected. Not much return for rentals. More for controllable players. Still think Scottie has something more in store. 1 Quote
Scottwood Posted July 31 Posted July 31 I would guess that Harris would be interested in trying to acquire Shane Bieber from Cleveland. It should be low cost and potentially high upside. Quote

It should be low cost and potentially high upside. I don't think so. He has enough injured starters right now. If they go starter, they need healthy arms. Quote
IdahoBert Posted July 31 Posted July 31 I guess we have about 12 hours left, but I’m starting to feel like we’re the poor kid in Polar Express who lives on the wrong side of the tracks for whom Christmas just never works out. I don’t want to mortgage the future for momentary gain. And there’s something to be said for “pulling yourself up by your boot straps“ but I don’t think that kid even had straps on his boots. 1 Quote

M’s got Suárez by trading their 9th, 16th, 17th prospects. We had the players to beat this deal without doing any harm to our very deep system. I’m getting the sense Harris loves his prospects so much that he may never be a guy to be active on big deals at the deadline (especially for rentals). Quote
