Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Ibanez, Andruw, Pena

By Mike Axisa | June 11, 2010 at 10:55am CDT

On this date seven years ago, six Astros pitchers combined to no-hit the Yankees in Yankee Stadium. Roy Oswalt started the game but had to leave after just one inning of work because of a groin issue. He was relieved by Pete Munro and then Kirk Saarloos before the three headed bullpen monster of Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel, and Billy Wagner closed things out. It ended the Yankees' streak of 6,980 games with at least one hit.

Here are a few links to check out from our fellow baseball bloggers…

  • Phillies Nation says it's time for the Phightin's to part ways with Raul Ibanez. 
  • Meanwhile, Crashburn Alley wants to see the Phillies shake up the bench.
  • The Sacrifice Bunt thinks Andruw Jones could be a nice pick-up for the Padres. 
  • More Hardball looks at the peculiar season of free agent to be Carlos Pena.
  • Disciples of Uecker reviews the Jeff Suppan era in Milwaukee.
  • River Ave. Blues believes the Yankees will only add complementary pieces this summer.
  • Capitol Avenue Club sums up the Braves' approach to this week's draft.
  • 1 Blue Jays Way rounds up all the different kinds of draft picks we hear about this time of year.
  • Baseball Opinion goes back to the review the AL East and the 2005 amateur draft.

    Andruw Jones could be perfect for the Padres, but hopefully the ballpark won’t kill him.

      isn’t Petco basically a smaller Rangers stadium?

    I was at that game, I was sitting in Steinbrenner’s seats right next to the dugout, prior to the start I got Matsui’s autograph and my little brother was give a Soriano foul ball. Soriano actually reached base on a passed ball strikeout.

      Also, I agree with River Ave. Blues that we only need minor pieces, a bullpen arm would help, maybe Cashman calls Kenny and sees what it’ll take to get Putz. I personally don’t mind using Posada as the primary DH and having Cervelli start most games at C, the kid has tenacity and excellent defense, plus Posada will probably be the primary DH next season anyway so now is a good time to transition him, and if N. Johnson comes back then we have a good problem. Pena seems like a capable fill in as long as it’s once a week, but if someone gets injured I would like to see an MI upgrade over Pena.

    Pena’s season isn’t that odd. Players like him often fall off a cliff around his age.

    Well when Andruw was with the Braves he crushed the ball in San Diego, in fact I’m pretty sure he hit one of the longest homeruns in Petco Park history. He can still play the outfield, but his numbers have plummeted because of a neck injury and little to no at bats recently. If anything he could provide a low risk power bat!

      I think the Padres should look at Austin Kearns, he has doubles power in Petco and I’m pretty sure his defense is solid, plus I doubt he’d cost a lot in prospects.

        I agree, Kearns will probably be on many teams list this trade deadline… So far a good sign for the Indians, especially if they move him to a desperate contender.

          Yeah I think there will be a mini bidding war for Kearns, as long as his production stays near where it’s at now.

    Sad to see Ibanez fall so far so fast, but when the facts are laid plain like Phillies Nation does…they’re right. Raul’s time has come.

    I still have not read anywhere a plausible explanation as to how Ibanez lost his power so suddenly. To go from 35+ homers to 3 or whatever, it just makes no sense.The reason there are no writers dealing with this is mainly because the majority of baseball writers are followers rather than leaders, and many are so out of touch with current happenings that they haven’t a clue whats going on. The rookie of the year voting in the NL last year was a prime example of this.

      Bat only guys fall off suddenly in their thirties all the time. Like Travis Hafner. It’s just a regular pattern.
