Trade Deadline Thread/DLD - 7/30/2010

PrintThe trade deadline if quickly approaching. I haven't heard anything on the A's front, but Beane has a way of surprising people.
Here are a few of the latest rumors:
This is a pretty incomplete list, but I just wanted to get the ball rolling.
My predictions are that Berkman goes to the White Sox, Dunn goes to the Rays, and a bunch of crappy middle relievers get traded to contenders.

If Berkman gets dealt to CWS
and I think he will, do the White Sox DFA Kotsay? And because Berkman switch hits, do you think the Sox will try and move Andrew Jones while trying to deal for another arm in their pen?
Are you suggesting the A's go after Jones?
If so… I’ll pass.

I'd take him over Watson and Carson

Jackson-Hudson deal is not off, it’s just being delayed while KW tries to shock the world. Hudson for Jackson might still happen either way.

If I had names I would report them. All I’ve been told is it’s big. Also been told that the chance of Hudson starting tonight is almost zero

Hold off on the Jackson trade folks, KW has something big cooking and if he gets it done Jackson trade is off.

Hudson is listed as pitching tonight vs the A's
it will be interesting to see who pitches instead of him
By the way... why on Earth would Kenny Williams
trade Hudson for Edwin Jackson? He’s having a terrible year.
The same reason he traded Nick Swisher
for Wilson Betemit and other various AAAA guys

but in 5 starts since throwing 149 pitches in his no-hitter, Jackson’s done this:
27.1 IP
38 H

According to America's Test Kitchen
adding more water to the dough develops more of the glutens that make the crust tough. By substituting vodka for some of the water you get the same pliability but reduce the amount of water.
it should have very little water....just enough to bind the dough together...
ice water added in very small increments….
"Are those new tarps? Or did they paint 'em?" Mark Ellis
Yeah, I've had issues in the past
adding the right amount of water. Substituting some vodka in helps because even if you add a little too much liquid, the vodka is only like 60% water, and the alcohol doesn’t contribute to the formation of glutens.

Ummmm... I'm like completely ignorant on the subject of alcoholic beverages.
But I suppose if it’s a tasteless alcohol, theoretically I guess you could. There’s probably a reason that you need some amount of water though, because the recipes never substitute all vodka.
I';m guessing Don's Mom doesn't do that.

Something I came up with for baking pie crusts
because one of the key things is to use lots of butter, but not let it get soft or melt at all.
Instead of cutting the butter, or using pastry knives, just grate the butter, with a pretty large-bore grater, straight into the flour.
Never heard the vodka thing before.

I should be more specific
I was asked to junior prom my senior year by a junior. That promptly blew up in my face shortly after the actual day. Then, feeling the need for more punishment, I asked a different girl to my own senior ball which was a month later. That then ended badly.
Then I didn’t date another girl until end of junior year in college.

The only moves that the A's should make...
are to call up Carter and Taylor and wave bye bye to Gross and Carson!
Carson? more like watson
Carson is starting to hit but Watson has only had the homerun and nothing else. The A’s will bring back Buck and send down Watson. Carson goes down when Jackson comes back.
Jackson is the only one who matters any

Carson hit 2 singles last night, that doesn't mean he's starting to hit
it just means he hit 2 singles last night. The simple fact is that if you bring up Carter and Taylor that’s two right handers, so you send Carson down and leave Watson. It’s not really a tough decision.
Giant rumors
They are fun because you know that Sabean doesn’t make trades unless it is for a has been that he doesn’t need to give up prospects for. The Giants wanted Cantu but didn’t offer anything for him.
Watson, Carson...
it doesn’t matter, just bring up Cartet and Taylor already, the division race is over, let them play every day!
yes on carter
He is on the 40 man so it would be easy but Taylor looks more like expanded roster call up. Carter would be better than Carson just to let him knock the ball around against lefties.
Is a Cartet like a set of Carters?
Is this a way to always have a replacement when he goes on the DL?

I'm on board with this
While you would ideally like to see more success in AAA from your top prospects I think they have put in a good amount of time there and I’m not sure how much more they have to “learn” in the minors that they couldn’t be working on in the majors. I think Carter in particular has shown that he takes a little time to adjust to each level and I’d rather have him going through his adjustment period in August and September of this year rather than April and May of next year.
left field
is what he needs to prove, otherwise he is displacing one of the A’s two best hitters.
"The ego, the super-ego, and the Ed" - dannycakes
Well, if that's what he needs to prove
then the A’s need to start playing him out there consistently which they haven’t been doing. I’m not so sure Carter in left field is something the A’s see in their future or if it’s more of a manifestation of AN’s collective hopes.
Slusser has an update on the Moneyball filming
Funniest part (to me, anyway)? Jason Windsor is playing John Mabry.
I met Jason Windsor and Landon Powell
…on the day they took their physicals in Oakland. Got autographs. Now I know where Windsor went. Where DID he go, actually?
Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.
It makes me laugh a bit that the batboy is so heavily quoted

I live in Minneapolis
so I know a lot of Twins fans, and they all seem to agree that Mauer is not going to play catcher for the length of his contract and that he’ll switch to 3B since the Twins have a gaping hole (batting-wise) that goes by the name of Nick Punto there. I would be surprised if Mauer played catcher his whole career. He’s just too good of a hitter.

More because I have somewhat double-allegiance since I live in DC (blasphemy, i know) and think Dunn can get more than Jackson, or at least something that isn’t 1.5 years away from free agency. The Nats might contend in 2011, but it ain’t too likely and it shouldn’t be the aim of trading Dunn.

I read in the NY Times (can't find the link)
In an article about how bad the Yankees are against pitchers making their MLB debut, they had a chart that showed the A’s were actually one of the best teams in the league against debuting pitchers (maybe because we promote/feature so many minor leaguers on a consistent basis?). Anyways, something like over the past 10 years MLB debut-ers have something like an 8.6 ERA against the A’s.
Maybe someone can find the link…

Not understanding the Wallace trade
Has his stock dropped that severely and if so, was Beane right in letting him go?
I’d rather see Carter get time in the outfield in Sacto than call him up and bench either Barton or Cust.
If we're out of it... which I think we are...
Then there’s nothing wrong with having Cust and Carter play everyday with one of them in LF. If it costs a game or two… so be it.
by Brett Narloch on Jul 30, 2010 12:07 PM PDT up reply actions
Depends on how Carter plays in LF
He’s been mostly used as a first baseman. There’s no need to rush him; better to wait til he’s mastered the outfield sufficiently to play in the majors. I’d trust the organization on this one.

If they got shot down for Sean Marshall they must be offering crap for relievers
I can’t imagine there is any reason to think they had Kalish on the table for either Wuertz or Breslow.

Why are the Yankees looking at offence?!
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Perhaps.
But still the last thing they need is a 1B/DH.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
And when they had the best SS on the planet,
the last thing they needed was the second-best. It’s the Yankees. They’ll find room.
T'other way round - A-Rod was a better SS.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
I'm not sure Jeter was 2nd best, either.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Well probably not, but A-Rod was an upgrade on Jeter.
Though dan has a point, they didn’t need to upgrade.
Sigh, just the Yankees getting richer it seems.

SuSlu said Buck was out of options
She was surprised the A’s didn’t call him up:
Also, Travis Buck off the DL and optioned to Sacramento. Thought we’d see him soon… Don’t the #Athletics need to know if he can help?
With Buck out of options next year and Sweeney out for the season, seems like the #Athletics might want to know what they have with Buck.
@WorldBLee
Sigh.
You’re right. The A’s transactions page only lists Buck twice. No mention of an original option to AAA.
- 4/22/10 Oakland Athletics placed RF Travis Buck on the 15-Day disabled list retroactive to April 21, 2010. Strained right oblique.
- 7/05/10 Oakland Athletics transferred LF Travis Buck from the 15-Day disabled list to the 60-Day disabled list.
No he wasn't optioned this season yet
And if he stays less than 20 days it doesn’t count as his last option year.
I'm reading
the Wikipedia page, which implies that the 20 days includes all minor league service time this season. Does this count rehab assignments? If so, the cutoff might be less than 20 days.
I really don't think rehab counts
A player without options can be sent to the minors to do a rehab assignment when they’re just coming off the DL.
That’s how players get stashed to save roster spots sometimes.
Needs moar dingerz.
I'm sure it doesn't count
Because during rehab he is not on optional assignment. An option year is used if a player is on optional assignment for at least 20 days during a season. Cots is clearer than wiki on that.
Yeah, this is what the Cubs screwed up when they sent Fox down in late August a few years ago
It’s why we thought he had an option left, but didn’t.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Interesting.
Hoping they are aware of it and that’s why they’re doing it. He is being dominated by a combination of rookie ball and AAA pitching to date, so there’s good reason to think he isn’t ready.

The New York Post’s Joel Sherman is hearing that Lance Berkman is on the verge of being traded to the Yankees.
Buster Olney chimed in moments later with a note that talks were advancing quickly. Berkman could block the deal if he wants to, but there’s been no word about that yet. Berkman is at the ballpark in Houston at the moment. According to Alyson Footer, he feels there’s a “decent possibility” he’ll be traded, but that, to his knowledge, nothing has happened yet.

How many tweets are BS?….it might be fun to do if you just went crazy with it and tried to be funny and silly?
Oldham A (I think it was him) turned me on to a fake Bob Geren tweet - it's pretty funny.

Wow, no.
But that sounds fantastic. Foo Fighters isn’t my favorite, but I respect the hell out of Dave Grohl, for all of the fantastic work he’s done over the last twenty years. Plus, he’s turned into one hell of a drummer since the Nirvana days.
I bought "Songs for the Deaf" by Queens of the Stone Age, sound unheard
Just because I read that Grohl was drumming again for the first time since Nirvana. The record was clutch and the Queens are bar none my favorite band these days. So that worked out.
"I've made a huge little mistake." - G.O.B.
YES.
Had that record in mind when I typed that, too. His performance on Songs for the Dead on that album is awesome. Them Crooked Vultures isn’t half bad either.
Them Crooked Vultures are pretty phenomenal
I think it suffered a little initially (for me) because I was expecting some sort of altogether new sound. Then I just learned to love a straightforward kick-you-in-the-ass rock record.
"I've made a huge little mistake." - G.O.B.
It actually reminds me a lot of Songs for the Deaf-era Queens.
Plus a dose of John Paul Jones-style synths, which can’t hurt.
Alo: It is the supreme sadness of my life that I never got to see Dave drum live with the Queens
But it may have been for the best because my brain would probably still be leaking out of my ears.
Yeah, I know, as far as supreme sadnesses go, not so bad.

Why the hell did they ground that thing?
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Yep. But it's the whole fact that we've taken a step back as a species by grounding them.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
they were made in ‘76. like my car. and i wouldn’t want to bet my life on making any lengthy trip in one shot. so i can see how the grounding makes sense.

"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
this chart (because you can add those ages to the number of years since ’03) might prove you right. but it also shows that they try to keep the equipment young.

Right. So I'm sure they were doing the same with the Concorde.
Which is why it was so expensive – those parts are specialist.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
The frame? Maybe.
But they replace every damn part on those things so many times over that the planes are pretty new, all in all.
yeah, i don’t really know. but there are some planes that really look beat up. like in the early 90s, when 707s were still seen, my friend got me to the cockpit of one, still in use i think, and it looked vintage. talking about the instruments and misc hardware. 707 was my favorite plane of all time, but it didn’t make me want to fly one.

Wasn't there some problem with the tires exploding on landing?
http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/technology/final_concorde_030530.html
"Are those new tarps? Or did they paint 'em?" Mark Ellis
That's what downed the flight in Paris.
A piece of metal shredded the tyres, which punctured the fuel tank and caused the thing to catch fire and crash.
That’s my point though. They developed a brand new tyre for airplanes to stop the them shredding (after that incident – cos they grounded the whole fleet until it was solved). Concorde pushing technology forward again.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
I think it was also economic....couldn't fill the plane and it was woefully inefficient fuel wise.

I have a weird metabolism.
I don’t get sugar highs, or caffeine kicks. I don’t get hangovers either.
So I don’t drink coffee/tea ‘cos I don’t like the taste and it does nothing for me in terms of perking me up.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Yeah I'm kinda jealous about that.
There’s obviously been times when I could have used that kick.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
that’s why there’s not a repo man i know that doesn’t take speed.
seriously though. i quit drinking coffee 3 years ago (2-3 double caps a day). it hurt like hell, but it’s the best thing i’ve ever done. the way i wake up now is the way i used to feel after my first coffee. and i don’t have to maintain the energy level. and i don’t crash early either. i’d say i’m more awake from morning till late night than i used to be.
but sometimes i have a shot of coffee and sugar just for the taste and whoo hoo, lookout oakland.
