ok to make the trade fair how about the rockies ship aaron cook to tampa bay for nothing? that would be fine with me.

Please do and you can take on the rest of his contract this year as well.

I beg to differ, the 50grand that the Rays got from the Astros pays for 1/3rd of the Rays salary

Why do international players always have weird names? Who is the mother that said, “I wish my child to be associated with the word aneurysm”?
Lastings
What about American players with “weird” names?
Matt
Come on, Lastings! That’s preposterous! Everyone knows that everything American is normal and the best! Why must you hate freedom, liberty and Christmas?
jwsox
yes because american cars are the best, american movies are the best, american news is the best, american writes, poets, scientists, theologists all of these americans are the best….
If you could not tell I was being sarcastic and i hope you were too. and just so you know you dont have to be american to be free, believe in liberty, or celebrate christmas.
Lastings
But one thing about America, in all honesty, is that they do produce the best baseball players…particularly those from Bradenton, Florida.

What weird American names? I have never heard any. Just ask Dweezil and Moon Unit Zappa.

7.5 WAR? BR.com has Hammel at 3.5 WAR from 2009-2010, which was topped by both David Price and Matt Garza, and matched by Niemann

Fangraphs!
scatterbrian
You’re right, I should be looking at Fangraphs. But since they’re linking to the BR player pages, I figured that’s where the info was coming from….or at least that’s where I looked. Consistency would be nice, but I understand product placement.
notsureifsrs
he’s using fangraphs’ WAR, as he should
garza has 5 fWAR over the past two seasons; price has 5.8

i think hammel made about 900 thou for those two double digit winning seasons combined and they are gonna get two more for about five mill after the extension he signed in the off season. Just the dollars alone make this a steal.
