Unassisted Triple Play
Phil Hughes is one of the best stories in baseball this year! 16 wins for a last place team!? Nice job, phil!
Curt Green
Even better is that his strike out to walk ratio set a record!
Johnny Ringo
I find it a bit hard to believe that Dayton Moore could be more valuable than Theo Epstein. It’s possible, but I really wonder if other teams would look at it that way?
DarthMurph
GM switches shouldn’t involve player compensation as they are part of the front office. They should be limited strictly to people who wear uniforms. If Atlanta wanted one of KC’s janitors, would a player need to be involved?

If KC’s janitor was under contract and the Royals were willing to let him out of it for a certain price, then I guess yes.
Flash Gordon
Is Dayton Moore worth a really good Janitor? It’s a hypothetical but I think I might hang onto the Janitor given the salaries and all.
TheoHoyer
Brad, you linked the wrong Chris Carpenter.
Curt Green
Phil was given the chance to come in relief and earn his half million but he turned it down.
BK
Which was NOT a classy move, it was just short sighted. The milestones were just representative to insure he was compensated if he stayed healthy. This end was a freak occurrence and he clearly earned the milestone. He’ a great pitcher, but there is no logic to him not coming out.
Flash Gordon
I think their is some logic there. He would have been chastised by many if he came out of the bullpen for a “500 thousand dollar out.” Some people will get on him for not taking the opportunity but it really is in a lot of ways a PR nightmare regardless of his decision. It would have been cool if the Twins and he could have figured out how to do an out for charity where Hughes could have earned 250 thousand and donated the other half to a charity. Everyone would have saved face. The Players Association would have been all over that one though…….as they would have to be due to the precedent it would set. Welcome to the real world where things are complicated.
