Bullpen Notes: Papelbon, Nathan, Tigers, Padres

By Charlie Wilmoth [July 28 at 10:58pm CST]

Closer Jonathan Papelbon is dissatisfied with the Phillies' current direction, MLB.com's Todd Zalecki reports. In the midst of an eight-game losing streak, Philadelphia has fallen to seven games below .500, and that's not what Papelbon anticipated when he signed with the Phils. "I definitely didn't come here for this," he said. Papelbon also isn't optimistic about the Phillies' future. "Oh man," he said. "We could be here all day." Papelbon is of the opinion that the Phillies need to undergo an overhaul, similar to that of his former team, the Red Sox (whose overhaul, ironically, included losing Papelbon to free agency). Papelbon says he does not want to be traded, but adds that he does not want to stay in Philadelphia if his team continues on the same path.

 

He's such a douchebag!!

 

plus he sucks this year. he's part of the reason they r on the downslide

If we could get CarMart for JJ, I'd s*** my pants with excitement.

 

Until the Jays announced him as their closer of the future.

f*** AA

Angels are tearing it down--expect Aybar and Kendrick to be gone within days as well. Only Trout, Weaver and Trumbo are untouchable.

[HERPDERP]

Glad we'll be seeing more Gump vs Gump.

[digiblader]

Yep, this weekend--Jays play the Angels.

AA is missing his chances to trade relievers...

Surrpised? We should be selling them but I don't think AA will.

Rangers approached ATL about Brian McCann

Who gives a s*** about Cory Rasmus? Seriously people.

Cory could mean a discount on Colby contract extension. Brotherhood discount.

f*** AA

 

Why would the Jays want Cory Rasmus or Scott Downs?

[Dr. Dinger]

No.

You must have missed the last meeting. We decided as a group that every time a trade is made we will post the details and curse AA for not being involved, regardless of context.

 

Scott Downs, no Oliver/Cecil, traded to Braves for %$#&^&%&.

It's good that contenders are starting to move on second tier guys. There are still lots of potential buyers out there. Hopefully, a team gets desperate after the options have thinned and overpays for Janssen/Cecil/Oliver/Rogers

I'll take the 40-man roster spot over Cory Rasmus. He just isn't as good as some of the guys that would get bumped for him.

What we already know is that Tigers and Braves will not going to overpay for Janssen/Oliver/Cecil/Delabar.

But the Pirates...the Pirates...

The Tigers could see themselves as more committed to this season and still not a true contender. They might not overpay for one of the Jays' players but, their only movable asset of significant value is Castellanos. Perhaps the Tigers go all in and ship out Castellanos in a package for a piece or two that puts them over the top.

 

The Braves still have a ton of guys on the DL and could be looking to buy. I suspect they'll stand pat until the off-season at this point. There are other teams out there looking to respond to these moves, like CLE, OAK and TEX, though. In the NL there are 4-6 potential buyers as well.

Its amazing how much hate is on this forum. Corey Rasmus throws a hard 94. If he was a jay you'd all be sweating it

 

He is a legit reliever with long term potential

Which hard throwing piss poor command reliever do you want to drop for him? It's not that he doesn't have potential it's that the Jays already have a bunch of guys like him.

As much as I'd like to join you in cursing AA

 

Rasmus seems to be a fringe MLB pitcher. We have enough of these, good move for Braves

I was not angry for Cory Rasmus, he isn't the big deal; AA should trade RP now.

Meh, the relief market seems to be not that good.

 

How good is Danry Vasquez btw?

For a closer? Yeah I guess we were getting carried away with the proposed deals on the board lol

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

LOL, I misread that as Colby Rasmus for a split second and was ready to rage.
