Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Gillies, Oswalt, Hart, Lilly

By Mike Axisa | July 23, 2010 at 12:06pm CDT

On this date ten years ago, a 36-year-old Barry Larkin signed a three-year contract extension with the Reds worth $27MM. This came a day after Larkin invoked his ten-and-five rights to block a trade to the Mets, who agreed to send then-top prospect Alex Escobar and two others to Cincinnati. New York dealt Melvin Mora and three other players to Baltimore for Mike Bordick five days later, filling their shortstop hole. Larkin, the first 30-30 shortstop in baseball history, hit just .257/.328/.372 during the life of the extension.

Here are some links with the trade deadline seemingly right around the corner…

  • Phoul Ballz interviews Phillies' prospect Tyson Gillies, who was acquired in the Cliff Lee trade this winter.
  • Crawfish Boxes lists the players they would want if Roy Oswalt is traded to the Cardinals.
  • Ghost of Moonlight Graham looks at the trade market for Corey Hart.
  • Disciples of Uecker explains how the Brewers screwed up the J.J. Hardy trade.
  • Twinkie Town reviews the Twins' trade deadline action from 2007-2009.
  • Monkey With A Halo provides a full-proof plan to fix the Angels in the second half.
  • The Baseball Opinion speculates about a Ted Lilly to the Mets trade.
  • The Friarhood looks at some ways to improve the Padres' outfield situation.
  • Where Have You Gone, Andy Van Slyke? has some fun with a rumor involving Neftali Feliz.

    “Disciples of Uecker explains how the Brewers screwed up the J.J. Hardy trade.”

    They traded him straight-up for a physical specimen instead of a baseball player. Done.

      It also allowed them to go
      From Cameron CF $10M, Hardy SS $4.6M = $14.6 M
      To Gomez CF $1.1M, Escobar SS $0.4M = $1.5 M
      Which is a big deal for a team like the brewers, plus, Hardy is done as a major leaguer, anyone who still thinks he is good enough to start is crazy.

        There are other cheap centerfielders in baseball, and most of them aren’t as bad as Gomez. The Hardy money was going to be saved no matter what they did.

      Saw these numbers posted over at BuccoFans.com:

      Hanrahan: 12.5 K/9, 3.0 BB/9, 0.9 HR/9 .203 BAA in 41.2 IP
      Feliz: 10.0 K/9, 2.8 BB/9, 0.9 HR/9, .199 BAA in 41.1 IP

      Not saying the Rangers should consider the trade, as it doesn’t really help them – I just don’t think people realize how well Hanrahan has pitched this year. The Pirates SHOULD ask for a lot in return.

    The Angels post is horrible. Talk about screwing the season and the future.
