Kawasaki recalled. Tepera optioned. Carrera and Valencia DFA'd.

3 man bench is not smart. Agreed

[saskjayfan]

Well they got the Phillies to eat all of Revere's contract. Its pretty obvious they are tapped out budget wise so they need to get creative. They will need to use that 700k and whatever else cash they get him forValencia to add another infielder or whatever Alex wants to do

 

I think its f***ing retarded to have 3 first baseman and 8 relievers on one team but that's just me.

 

I agree, but Valencia is no longer a 3rd baseman and cant play second or short so hes really just a first baseman now too.

[AdamLindsMom]

Doesn't Valencia need to clear waivers to be traded now? Whereas yesterday he could have been traded to anyone. There's no way he gets all the way to the Yanks. Not a chance.

AA re Valencia: "It a very difficult decision and Gibby wanted Revere to be in LF everyday"

 

 

Someone is not telling the truth.

[jayswin11]

could have optioned Schultz even

Colabello DH over Valencia 1B/2B/3B/cornerOF + lefties killer

[glory]

 

Someone is not telling the truth.

 

It pains me to say this as a Gibbons hater, but I think it's AA who is being untruthful here.

 

Gibbons doesn't give two shits about defense, never has. He'll put anyone in the field if he feels it will improve the lineup. This was an AA move all the way around.

[AdamLindsMom]

Valencia career 137 WRC+ vs lefties

 

Colabello career 92 WRC+ vs lefties

[SAAviour]

I get the feeling Tulo and JD will have no time for Muni's antics.

Those two are all business and I personally love it!

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

I prefer Valencia to Collabello but to be fair, Cola is a better hitter

No he isn't.

[TheHurl]

I am intrigued to know what this corresponding move is...Dalton up and Bello DFA'd?

[HERPDERP]

Its very possible. A lot of the s***** teams wouldn't have much interest in adding Valencia. A potential playoff team would. Orioles, Twins, and Yankees all strong possibilitys

 

He has to pass through the NL first right? Mets could use him.

[Deadpool]

Honesty cannot think of a positive spin to put on this at all. Maybe they get a prospect of some sort for Valencia (he doesn't have to go on waivers to be traded, since I saw that question asked earlier).

[Zaun of the Dead]

awful move.

[Deadpool]

No reason at all (other than the burning desire to see him off the team) to DFA someone with options when you have 35 people on your 40 man roster.

Revere will play everyday LF. Gibbons isn't talking about Pompey.

Jose Tobata was traded yesterday and Valencia is better than him and cheaper.

[jayswin11]

I like Revere everyday in LF it makes sense but Valencia still more valuable off the bench than Cola

How so if we're past the non-waiver trade deadline?

[glory]

No issues with Revere playing everyday. Valencia against LHP would have been an improvement over Revere, but after 3 months of watching bad/stupid defenders in LF, I'm fine with Revere there everyday as long as he can catch the ball.

 

But Valencia is still a better bench bat than Lolabello.

Not sure where he fits on the Yankees. Cardinals maybe? Reynolds is garbage.

D'oh, how exactly did I miss that part of the equation? Apparently my brain is in Saturday mode. My bad.

[AdamLindsMom]

Hes also 26 and capable of playing the outfield. Hes a guy I wouldn't mind taking a chance on to be honest.

 

He's been a negative value defender every year he's been in the majors.

 

-0.2 fWAR last 4 years

[ElNik2013]

It's not a surprise to me that AA listens to Gibbons on the final roster spots. Not saying I agree with it, just that AA is not a guy that takes charge and he loves Gibbons.

 

It's been obvious for quite some time that Gibbons really likes Colabello.

 

 

For the record, god damn it, I hate it!

[Yorkshire Blue Jay]

I wouldn't have called up Muni if it meant DannyV DFA'd. He is much more versatile and while only serviceable as a 2b.

 

Muni for Bello no problem at all he has options and would still be a piece to call on if injuries bite and a September call up at worst, but I don't make the move AT THIS STAGE if it's for Valencia which means we will lose him from the organisation.

[JFD]

f***ing idiots.. Valencia is good.
