Meh. Pretty high babip

[Nightmaul]

Sounds good to me. Parra's having a pretty good offensive season but look at his BABIP. BB and K rates are unchanged.

To me their offense was fine.... They need pitching and better defense kind of like what the jays need.... Like the Tulo trade this didn't fill their biggest need...

Woudn't Parra help their defense?

Yeah I don't think anyone believes Parra is a .328 hitter. Still a nice pickup, he could be a good hitter and is good defensively.

Good for them, I was hoping they traded Gausman for him

I am under the impression that his Defense has declined a bit this season

[BlueBirdBro]

His defensive WAR is -2.0 or something crazy. He's not good in the field this year.

Go and get Ben Revere!

[Deadpool]

So, when they DFA Snider, do we put in a claim?

Agree! Huge upgrade on defense, nice guy to have on the bases.

The O's are all in!!! Zach Davies is a decent piece, good for both teams, imo.

Parra's D has nosedived since his Gold GLove season in 2013.. he's not even replacement level anymore. He'd be worthless if it hadn't been for the bat. And the O's really shouldn't be blowing their farm.. as with Ed-Rod, what happens if Zach Davies turns into a decent pitcher for Milwaukee?

It has but I don't know if that's reflective of his true talent or just a fluke.
