Nope, the brewers stuck Morgan and gold, together in a hole, along with a leprechaun =)

JD is to be commended for addressing most of the Rangers needs to get them back to the World Series. After their strong starters, they have shutdown guys for the 7th-9th innings. I expect the Rangers to get even stronger next season by adding a guy like Pujols or Fielder.

texas fans never appreciate just how good Michael Young is

Terry Holden
Best acquisition was the meat-train by far.

Fister <3
NYPOTENCE
Fister is awesome
tycobb
Delmon Young has chipped in some nice offence.
But Fister is a beast.
MattCMoore
Fister kinda reminds me of Roy Halladay right now. Probly wont be consistantly that good throught his career but he was doing his best impression the second half of the year.
diesel2410
HAHA good joke, comparing Fister to Halladay.
Pawsdeep
Have you looked at his numbers? Granted this is only his third year in the majors so it’s a small sample size, but he’s not exactly a chump.
Why don’t you go an compare his first three years in the pros to Halladays first three years and see if you still want to laugh at that statement.
Granted, sustained success is a key to Halladays greatness, but there isn’t any reason for me to believe fister can’t keep up solid numbers as long as he keeps healthy.
MattCMoore
Haha ur cool for laughing at that. Fister was better than Halladay in the 2nd half wich is what I meant was Halladay like. And just the way he pitches reminds me of Doc. (although I dont watch Halladay pitch much so what do I know lol)
myname_989
Doug Fister was not better than Roy Halladay after the All-Star break. If anything, they were comparable and Halladay was slightly better. I’m not knocking how good Fister has been like the rest of these guys, but he was never better than Halladay this year.
Fister hasn’t exactly faced the greatest of competition since joining the Tigers either. 3 starts against Cleveland, 2 starts against Kansas City, and one against each of Baltimore, Minnesota, and Oakland.
Halladay didn’t face much better competition, but I doubt that anyone seriously doubts Halladay’s talent.

I really want to make a dirty joke using his last name, but I respect MLBTR’s respectful rules about that sort of thing. Darn you, professional baseball website!

Hahahahahahahhahahahaha i get the untold yet very funny joke!! hahahaha

Does it involve a certain LHP that Mr. Fister was traded for?

Here’s a summary of the in-season acquisitions that made an impact for one of MLB’s 2011 playoff teams
I was unaware Mitre, Bowker, and Lopez made an impact
mikhelb
The impact of Mitre with the Yanks came in the form of “sheeesh… we better call Nova up again from the minor leagues”, and Nova went undefetead the rest of the way after his callup (something like 15 consecutive starts, yanks just lost 3 of the games he started).

YEAH RIGHT-
Rangers vs. Cardinals

The real story of the tigers at the deadline is what they gave up; which was basically nothing. Everyone was so quick to jump on Detroit for the package they sent to the M’s, but in reality, the only real talent they gave up for all four of those players was Furbush(who is a C+ prospect, at best) and Casper Wells.
The return on the acquired players has been worth 20x’s more than they gave up(already) and is a true statement to DD’s skill at making amazing trades considering how weak the tigers farm system is, outside castellanos and turner. To get all that in 3 players(pauley doesn’t count considering we haven’t seen him at all in Detroit) without giving up either one of your 2 best prospects was another steal added to DD’s books.
MattCMoore
Odviously the Mariners didnt realize that Fister was their ace haha…
inleylandwetrust
The only player I was sad to see go was Francisco Martinez. Casper Wells is a good 4th outfielder on a playoff team, while Furbush’s future probably lies as a long reliever out of the pen where he was excelling for us. Ruffin is just a bullpen arm so nobodies crying over that loss.
The Nicker
Considering we have little idea how any of the 4 players the Tigers gave up will perform in the next 5-6 of team control that Seattle has over them, AND we have little idea of how good Fister will be over the next 3+ seasons, I think it’s a little early to say that nothing was given up.
M
That doesn’t even matter Doug Fister is doin awesome in the postseason
Phillies_Aces35
I’m really curious to see how the two best acquisitions, Hunter Pence and Doug Fister, respond to being in the playoffs for the first time.
I look for Pence to have an amazing post season. I’m not sure about Fister going into Yankees stadium though… although nobody predicted Cliff Lee would do what he did against the Yankees in the post season the 3 times he faced them.

It would be funny if the rays traded evan longoria and jeremy hellickson to the phillies for roy halladay and placido polanco.hahahahahaha
