BigRog Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 You've gotta keep me posted on this! Where did you hear about it? its all explained in the trade deadline rumor post. The Eagle-Tribune has learned that a recent target of the Red Sox at the non-waiver trading deadline, Atlanta outfielder Andruw Jones, was placed on waivers by the Braves Tuesday. The move by the Braves starts a process in which teams have a chance to claim Jones, which expires after 47 hours (The team with the worst record is allowed to choose first, but if the worst record is shared by teams in both leagues, then the team in the same league is allowed first choice). If the outfielder does pass through waivers, then it would allow Atlanta to trade Jones to a team such as the Red Sox, who had been offered the center fielder in a package including Coco Crisp, Craig Hansen and Jon Lester the night before the trading deadline. Whatever team claims Jones gets 48 hours to exclusively negotiate a deal with the Braves. A prime candidate to stake a claim before the Red Sox's turn comes up would be the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, who were the other team Atlanta inquired about regarding a potential pre-non-waiver trade. The impetus for the Braves to deal Jones is that he becomes a 10-5 player in seven days (10 years in the major leagues, 5 years with the same team), allowing the outfielder to veto any trade for the duration of his contract. Jones makes $13 million this season and $13.5 million in the final year of his deal next season. It was reported in the Providence Journal-Bulletin that Boston's intention regarding the acquisition of Jones was to turn around and trade him for Houston starting pitcher Roy Oswalt. As of last night, it was not believed that Oswalt had been placed on waivers by the Astros. Also of interest to the Red Sox were the list of catchers who were placed on waivers, which included: Baltimore's Javy Lopez; Cincinnati's Jason LaRue; Toronto's Benjie Molina; and Arizona's Johnny Estrada.

Hory Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I appreciate the effort of pulling up his stats like that but it's kraw that has done the batting ratings based on a formula and he's been using the same one for all MLB players. I won't change any ratings until after the season, sorry buddy. Well it's obviously a mistake, Encarnacion has played only half a major league season prior to 2006, hitting .232 So I don't see how three year splits can come into it when he hasn't even played a full season worth of games yet.. In 2006 he's hitting .276 vs righties (.226 in 05) compared to .290 vs left (.246 in 05) yet the ratings have him as a 87/82 hitter against righties and 58/71 vs LHP (which seems correct) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxFan Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 ESPN reports thats Javey Lopez has signed with Boston RedSox. Looking for help at catcher following the injury to captain Jason Varitek, the Red Sox have acquired veteran Javy Lopez from the Baltimore Orioles, ESPN Radio 890 in Boston reported. Lopez, who will join the team tomorrow in Tampa, had been upset over the lack of playing he was receiving in Baltimore and asked for his release. The 35-year-old Lopez is hitting .265 with 8 HR and 31 RBI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'm releasing UR 7.3 (both versions) tonight at 3 am ET. It's 0.20 am in Sweden now and I desperately need to go to bed. I'll get up a little bit earlier and correct the last stuff before I upload it. I hope you'll enjoy it guys! EDIT: I'll hold off on the update 'til the Javy Lopez deal is announced as such a deal would be a crucial part of the rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Haha, I think he meant 12.30 If thats what you're wondering. If not, my bad. Maybe thats how they tell time there or maybe all this MVP stuff has gotten to his brain! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbully Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Are you saying that Gray Little have a cyberface and that it is ID 474? Shmooz has Yorvit Torrealba at # 474. I'm saying, in the original models.big (EA version), Grady Little is face # 474. In UR, he has a generic face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't change any ratings until after the season, sorry buddy. I have to agree with jhath. I think it's perfect to base ratings on stat splits, and I appreciate the time kraw took to do it cause I couldn't do that, but whatever formulas he used are wack. Perhaps if he posted his formulas, we could help him fix them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ming Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I believe Victor Zambrano is done for the year in New York and Valentin has been at second base. I think he has been pretty clutch there since Matsui left. As for Zambranos replacement.....well its been a steady flow of minors and Jose Lima. Thanks for the great rosters!

SwinginSoriano Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 The Rangers have released P John Wasdin John Wasdin is to the Rangers like Amaury Telemaco is to the Phillies. Every single year, the guy gets a minor league contract, spends like 15 days getting bombed in the majors, and gets released again only to return next year.
