Cardinals Acquire Edward Mujica

By Tim Dierkes | July 31, 2012 at 1:48pm CDT

The Cardinals acquired reliever Edward Mujica from the Marlins for third baseman Zack Cox, tweets Peter Gammons of MLB Network.

Uspw_6245314

Mujica, 28, has a 4.38 ERA, 6.0 K/9, 2.1 BB/9, 1.38 HR/9, and 50.4% groundball rate in 39 innings for the Marlins this year.  Mujica is owed $568K for the remainder of the season and will be arbitration eligible for the third and final time after the season.  Mujica was part of the deal that sent Cameron Maybin to the Padres in November 2010.

Cox, 23, was the Cardinals' first-round pick in 2010.  He's hitting .254/.294/.421 in 316 Triple-A plate appearances.  Baseball America ranked Cox fourth among Cardinals prospects prior to the season, and was still willing to call him a "potential No. 3 hitter" at the time.  It's a nice pickup for Mujica, even if Cox's star has fallen.

      Got rid of a useless, blocked player whose value has been rapidly dropping due to lackluster performance.

      Got a nothing special reliever who may or may not perform better than the current bullpen, but the only glaring weakness has been a solid 3rd bullpen guy who can come in when Boggs and Motte aren’t available for whatever reason and lock it down. This is not that guy, but again, the value of Cox is extremely low and who they got isn’t going anywhere after the season.

      Not bad, but nothing really spectacular unless a change of scenery makes Mujica suddenly a 2.0 ERA lights out 7th inning guy.

      Doesn’t sound like he’s very good defensively at 3B and a corner infielder with a .715 OPS in the PCL is downright awful. That said, it’s not like you can expect much for Mujica, so this was an ok return.

      10 years ago

      A lot of scouts aren’t really that high on Cox. He’s stayed in the top 100’s just because he’s pretty much ready. Will hit for a solid average but doesn’t have much power. Still probably an overpay but a lot of Cardinal fans seen this coming. They just have too many potential 3B right now.

    The Marlins are so up and down with these deals. This is a great deadline-type trade for them, keeping in mind that Mujica was a key piece to the 2010 Cameron Maybin trade with San Diego. To flip him for a 23-year old that was the 25th overall pick in 2010, is a natural third baseman, and excelled at every level up to this season is exceptional work by Miami. Cox has struggled in his first AAA season, but he is a legit Top 100 prospect with a pedigree, the type of player you would expect to see in a much bigger trade. The Marlins may have found their third baseman of the future for an average middle reliever.

      I have to disagree with you a little. There is no doubt this trade seems weird for a prospect to be traded for an average reliever but Mo’ is smart.

        The Marlins haven’t had a natural 3B in a long time. This trade fills a hole for them. Next they should trade for a natural LF, preferably by trading Carlos Lee.

    Cardinal fans, does this mean that Matt Carpenter is somewhat untouchable in deals? I still see him blocked by Freese @ 3B and Craig @ 1B. Is he available from what you read & hear in St. Louis?

    Reply
    • stl_cards16

      10 years ago

      I don’t see why Carpenter wouldn’t be available. With Freese the starter and Descalso as the backup at 3rd, Carpenter is still plenty expendable. At 1B he is behind Berkman and Craig this year and behind Adams and Craig long-term.

      I’m not sure they could get enough value out of him where it would make sense to deal him. But I’m sure he’s not untouchable.

      I’m not sold on Descalso, so in your scenario (and my mind): yes, Carpenter is untouchable. But I’m not sold on that either, and so far the STL press isn’t talking about him moving.

      Reply

      10 years ago

      I don’t think they will trade him honestly. They like his versatility at a multitude of positions including 3rd, 1st, OF, and if necessary a middle infield slot. Matheny likes these types of players because if injuries sprout up (like they have) Descalso and Carpenter have been able to fill in nicely so far.

    I’ve seen the Cards make odder “win now” trades (hell, does this even qualify?), but Cox was hopelessly stuck in AAA. Somewhat ironically, I just had a discussion over the weekend on whether the Marlins would take (or we would offer) Cox, Shelby Miller and Matt Adams for JJ and cash/PTBNL. Adams is pretty much stuck too, and the Fish would want a young arm back.

      He was guaranteed a 40 man spot, meaning the team had to use options right away. What this means is that he has only one option remaining, despite having no major league service time. His contract will still work just like any other player in terms of arbitration and all of that, but he has to make the major league roster by opening day 2014 or he will be exposed to waivers.

    Ok, first off, Mo’ knows what he’s doing. When He traded Jim Edmonds and Scott Rolen when he first arrived I got pissed off. But it ended up fine at the end and we acquired this young prospect named David Freese. To go along with that he traded Colby Rasmus to the Blue Jays in return for a lot of pitching, and we all know how 2011 ended up for the Cards.

    Second off with Carpenter, Freese, Wong, Craig and Schumaker looking to be here for a while, where is he going to go??? There is no room for him here and I would like to see him grow to his potential than became a career bench/utility player.

    I do agree that for Mujica it seems a little odd, but I have faith in Mozaliek. After all the moves he has made, I think he knows what he’s doing

          Whoops! Late night. I do believe that Mozeliak made an informed decision in this move. I don’t think that he was as naive as people like to paint him in the Rasmus and Cox deals. Rasmus’s numbers were due to inflate when he went to Toronto (Bautista, Hill, Encarnacion?). One of Mozeliak’s best attributes is patience. His patience has made the Cardinals into an organization that is as healthy as it is.

    Mujica has a WHIP of 1.15 this year, compared to Victor Marte (1.49) and Maikel Cleto (1.67). I think Mujica is probably an average reliever, but he’s considerably better than the alternative. At least when he comes in during the 7th, I’ll be wondering IF he’ll hold the opposition. When Marte and Cleto come in, I’m wondering HOW the opposition will score.

    Im just sad the Jays didn’t float Darren Oliver over if the Cards were looking for a lefty reliever. Buying low on Cox would have been great, especially if we could have moved him over to second since he wasn’t really hot stuff on the hot corner. This seems like a AA trade, or at least it used to until he started huffing gas and began trading position players for relievers and not the other way around.

    I see this as a pretty fair trade on both ends. At this point in his career, Cox is a huge question mark. Mujica is a “proven mediocre” reliever with a year of control (adding marginal value). It addressed a seemingly chronic problem the Cards are faced with in their bullpen. You’re either a buyer, seller, or complacent at the deadline. The Cards were annointed buyers, so they addressed their need. Could they have done better? Maybe. However, you must understand that you give to get. No use in getting mad about a quesiton mark to address a need when you’re 4 games out. I’d give the deal some time. I think Mo has earned that confidence.

    I don’t think the Cardinals really care about 3rd party rankings. In 2010, current major leaguers David Freese, Allen Craig, and Jon Jay were ranked 7th, 8th, and 9th behind juggernauts like Robert Stock, Daryl Jones, and Eduardo Sanchez. The franchise is in excellent shape on all levels at this point. My best guess is that nobody but the 3rd party publications were that high on Zach Cox at this point. It’s very possible that the scouts around the majors saw a lot of red flags with Cox this year. It is also very possible that, if this is true, that this is the best they could get for Cox. Mozeliak has built the top offense in the National league, fostered a very healthy minor league system, and put together a team that won a World Series. The Cardinals’ scouts saw something they liked in Mujica (something I don’t see). They also felt that they saw enough of Zach Cox to be comfortable in dealing him. The Cardinals aren’t concerned with stocking up on good potential… they’re concerned about winning. All they needed was a middle of the road middle reliever to stop the hemorrhaging. They got him for someone they felt comfortable giving up on. I wouldn’t have made the deal but I’m going to give the 2011 World Champions the benefit of the doubt at this point.

    Hate to see Cox go, but Cards need bullpen help to make the playoffs and Mujica is an improvement. Cox will get a better opportunity in Miami if he starts hitting again.
