sounds like it was Doug Melvin who pulled the rug out at 11:59.
Gotta think it was Wheeler's physical.Chris_H_2 wrote:sounds like it was Doug Melvin who pulled the rug out at 11:59.
I'm not sure what they were expecting for someone that just blew their elbow out.philpritchard wrote:Gotta think it was Wheeler's physical.Chris_H_2 wrote:sounds like it was Doug Melvin who pulled the rug out at 11:59.
i think that's an oversimplificationChris_H_2 wrote:Harold Reynolds actually just made a good point: Doug Melvin showed his hand with this botched trade. If he's still serious about trading Gomez, every other team now knows what it's going to take.

That is positive. And to think, he'll be their best starter by this time Saturday.@SkitchP wrote:On a positive note, 3 of JV's last 4 starts have been very good.
I don't really understand it either unless Hart & Co. believe it's just a matter of time until Wood's elbow blows out (again). It's still a lot to give up though.Electromatic wrote:So the Braves are about to make their dumbest trade since Mark Teixeira.

I guess it does make sense in a way. The Marlins are just doing Marlins things by selling players to save money. The Braves are just doing Braves things by making dumb trades.numbers wrote:Yeah, I dont get that trade at all from Atlanta's end, and even the Marlins end.

I still think there has to be more to it than that. If there's not, though, I really hope the Jays are asking about Teheran.
Ah yes, I read that somewhere. Still, he would only have the second weirdest home/road splits on the team.Electromatic wrote:philpritchard wrote:"Look, we're trying to build for the future here.

Just hope Julio never pitches any road games
