Rosenthal’s Latest: Sabathia, Griffey, Dunn

By | at

The latest from Ken Rosenthal’s Inside Pitch video:

  • The Indians are going to have to at least entertain deals for C.C. Sabathia.  If they continue to fall in the standings, Rosenthal expects the Indians to try for a Dan Haren type deal involving numerous prospects in return.  Two teams he mentions with interest are the Dodgers and Yankees.
  • Ken Griffey Jr. will not be traded until after he hits his 600th home run.
  • Rosenthal also touches on Adam Dunn.  He can block any trade before June 15th.  After that he can block trades to ten unknown teams.  The Reds are still weighing their options – it is possible they sign him to a long-term deal.

Olney’s Latest: Bruce, Draft Strategies, Young

By | at

Here’s Buster Olney’s latest blog entry.

  • Olney takes a look back at last winter’s rumored Erik Bedard for Jay Bruce trade.  Bruce has been living up to his untouchable tag.  The Reds have to be happy with the way their young players are developing, but a rotation of Bedard, Aaron Harang, Edinson Volquez, Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey could rival the Braves of the early 90’s.  That said, Bruce won’t be traded anytime soon.
  • Numerous reports are coming out regarding draft strategies.  Here are a few links –  Astros, Athletics, Brewers, Pirates, Rangers, Rays and Yankees. 
  • Olney also touches base on the seemingly lopsided Delmon Young trade from the past offseason between the Rays and Twins.  The Rays are in first place and have benefitted since receiving  Matt Garza and Jason Bartlett in the deal.  Garza is pitching well, while Young is still homerless on the season.  Young is only 22-years old and is bound to fulfill at least some of what was once limitless potential.

According to Mark Feinsand, Morgan Ensberg has been designated for assignment to make room for reliever Scott Patterson.  At Triple-A Scranton, Patterson accumulated a 3.01 ERA in 22 appearances.

With Joba Chamberlain moving to the starting rotation on Tuesday, bullpen help was needed.  In 80 plate appearances, Ensberg put up a .203/.263/.243 line.
