JoeyMcM93 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 OK, thanks. Wells isn't worth much, so it sounds like a good trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgbaseball Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Looks like it's going to be Kottaras, which is an absolute joke. What the Padres are thinking is anyone's guess at this point. Giving up your best catching prospect for an old, washed up fat guy? The goal must be "get to the playoffs in 2006, lose in the first round, then suck for years" in San Diego.

TheProdigy Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hopefully someone good... highly doubt they got someone good, but it looks like the Red Sox management think they are out of it, unless there's a miracle waiting to happen.

kgbaseball Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Is it really worth giving up a top prospect, a catching prospect at that, to get a guy you might only have for a few weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 SP Mark Mulder placed on the DL, likely done for the season and possibly altogether with the Cardinals. Will be replaced by Anthony Reyes in the rotation. Then again, the whole rotation is gonna change when the rosters expand. I wish MVP allowed for the roster expansions. I mean, the minor league schedules are over at that point (in the game) - it's like they were planning on including a feature for roster expansions but then never did it. EDIT: Also, any minute now CF Jim Edmonds will be placed on the DL as well, likely to be done for the season and probably his time with the Cards is over as well (see: Mulder). He'll be replaced in center by Juan Encarnacion, with Preston Wilson taking Juan's spot in right. LF will continue to be primarily Chris Duncan with cameos by Taguchi, Spezio, Rodriguez, et al. Incidentally, with Bennett out and Molina ailing, they called up AAA C Mike Rose (click me: http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/NASApp/ml...ayer_id=425852).

hasoyam Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 In another move for a former Boston pitcher, the Padres signed free agent reliever Rudy Seanez, released earlier in the season by the Red Sox. Seanez, 37, was one of the club's bullpen assets in 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hell, I would too if I were a Boston fan. He'll fit in perfectly when Varitek's time is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProdigy Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 it makes me laugh, some of these panic trades that has happened in the past. This is absolutely one that's dreadful for the Padres, but they improved their pitching, not necesarily securing a playoff spot, but it can help, David Wells is a good pitcher, but they should'nt have given up a young early twenties catcher, especially when he is their 2nd best prospect.. pitiful, but Red Sox fans must be pretty happy with this trade.

JoeyMcM93 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Wow, San Diego is stupid. Boston got a pretty good deal out of this. When Varitek is done, they have Kottaras to come up and catch. These panic trades are really starting to bug me, this one espcially. Wells won't help the Padres, he'll make them worse. Giving up their number two prospect for a washed up pitcher is rediculous. The NL West really is screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 ESPN reported that its official, C- George Kottaras Padres # 2 rated prospect is the winner I've read that it was a PTBNL. It may wind up being Kottaras after all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsoxkid Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 There is a very good chance it is Kottaras, but since he is on the 40 Man Roster he will have to be sent during the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
