Brett Anderson’s baseball reference profile should list his team as the DL. That guy is made of glass.

IMO that’s a pretty poor article from 538. Let’s me down, they often have some interesting stuff, but they go through all that work to make some poor assumptions, and thus you really can’t make a conclusion on which is better based upon what they decided to use. Can’t really use 2 extreme outliers and derive a conclusion from that. There was way too much that they tried to base a conclusion on theories built on top of theories, you can’t derive anything from this because all sorts of teams are mixed together and nothing is based in reality. A 5 WAR player surrounded by 1 WAR players should have roughly the same gini as a 10 WAR player surrounded by 2 WAR players, yet would show up as just higher on the y axis, with no change in x The 2004 DBacks had a few really good players, but generally they were awful all around.

Gillies is the headliner for the Phillies (Ruben Amaro) inability to acquire useful prospects in trades. The victorino and pence trades which included 5 prospects now leave us with 2 who still have possibilities to have any success in rosin and Joseph although Joseph has dealt with serious injuries.
Also, look at the gillies trade. Ramirez was released and Aumont is STILL in AAA. we need a GM change more than any team in baseball fast.

Tyson Gillies might never make the bigs if you ask me. His ceiling appears to be Double-A. In 252 ABs at AAA, he is hitting just .214/.279/.310 – hardly major-league quality numbers.
BTW, for the Rockies, what was the corresponding move on the 40-man roster?
