    When will HC Graham leave for a bigger deal??

    If Graham leaves, it won't be for Texas. Patterson is contractually prevented from hiring an ASU head coach away for a period of time. I can't remember if its 12 or 24 months, but its long enough to take him out of play for Texas. If it weren't for this, I'd be a hell of a lot more concerned. I...

    Dear God no Santana please... I'm not crazy over Garza either.

    Tanaka is DBacks #1 Target

    I generally have concerns of Japanese pitchers. Their track record in MLB is spotty at best, and for every Yu Darvish (who so far looks the part of a solid MLBer) and Hideo Nomos, there are a dozen Hideki Irabus (God rest his soul). That said, Tanaka hasn't just been a good pitcher, he's...

    Matt Davidson Traded for Addison Reed

    So breaking this down as a playoff/extension of the Trumbo deal: Arizona gets: Addison Reed, Mark Trumbo, talented prospects Brandon Jacobs and AJ Schugel Arizona trades: Tyler Skaggs, Adam Eaton and Matt Davidson. They paid a steep price in prospects for sure but got two young and...

    DBacks acquire Trumbo in 3 team deal

    If the staff tinkers with Trumbo's approach to batters, he easily can up his OBP from around .300 to around .330. If he has a .330 OBP and hits 30-40 homers a year, and drives in 100 RBIs, the juice was worth the squeeze in this deal. And before anyone questions the viability of this happening...

    Pittsburgh? Not even close. I spent three years there and they couldn't GIVE tickets away.

    Reality

    Chris you also know there are people who will crap on every move the organization makes. I can remember the same gripes made about Joe G and Josh Byrnes that I am hearing about Towers. Reality is, some are never satisfied. KT could have acquired Babe Ruth in his prime for a ham sandwich and...

    Trumbo trade - a look on the bright side...

    Yesterday, I put a post up about how trading young prospects for young proven talent is a move I make. This fits that mold.

    Trumbo trade - a look on the bright side...

    This may be unpopular but I don't think this is the worst trade in the worst ever made. I swear by OBP.. More than any other stat, I think OBP is valuable. Yes, Trumbo's OBP in seasons 1 through three have sucked. However, you know who else had a garbage OBP at the beginning of his career...

    D-Backs Offer Deal to Joba Chamberlain

    I'm a fan of low risk signings and this would be one.

    DBacks acquire Trumbo in 3 team deal

    For those who like power, Hill, Goldschmidt and Trumbo likely will combine to hit for 90-100 homers between them.

    DBacks acquire Trumbo in 3 team deal

    I may be alone but I'm more disgusted that they traded Eaton than anything.

    DBacks acquire Trumbo in 3 team deal

    Arizona will be getting Trumbo and a PTBNL for Skaggs and Eaton, who will be going to Chicago. The Angels will also acquire Hector Santiago from Chicago as part of the deal.

    Mack Brown's job status (rumors of him stepping down)

    Its being reported by several outlets (Dallas News, OrangeBloods.com) that Mack Brown has stepped down as head football coach of the University of Texas. Let the Saban to Austin rumors pick up even more steam.

    D-Backs Determined To Leave Orlando With Choo Or Trumbo

    Getting prospects makes this deal worlds better.

    Gotcha. Sorry for the confusion.

    D-Backs Determined To Leave Orlando With Choo Or Trumbo

    Would it just be Trumbo coming to Arizona? Wonder what Chicago would toss in.
