amare32 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 WAS swaps Castilla to SD for Lawrence.Brian Lawrence is no Cy Young, but why would you swap a decent, young arm for a flaccid, old "power" hitter? Bad deal for the Friars.Go Diamondbacks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatCityEnforcer Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Let the baseball silly season commence!As for this trade...advantage: Nats. Lawrence isn't the greatest of pitchers, and the Pads had a glaring hole at 3rd (seeing they feel that Burroughs isn't the answer and they went out and got Joe "The Joker" Randa before the deadline and all), but I don't like this trade at all from the Pads standpoint...smacks of a panic move, IMO.

randyc Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 The Jays also made a move in trying to get A.J. Burnett to come north as AJ,Roy Halladay, and Jays pitching coach Brad Arnsberg were all at the Raptors game the other night. Burnett said "I want to go somewhere where the fans want to win as much as I want to win and the club wants to win as much as I want to win, and they've showed me that so far."

amare32 Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Castilla posted .253/.319/.403 in 494 AB. That's horrific. If Lawrence is breathing when he lands in Washington, he's worth considerably more than Vinny C.I swear, I could clean up if I were a GM. I don't know why one of these owners doesn't hire me.

NJTank Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 This trade is a yawner Lawrence is not good enough to care about and Castilla is only good in Denver. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
