Power Pros Forum

I'm glad, because I've decided that, other than Opening Day and playoff games, I'm going to update entire series rather than individual games.

Joey Acaccia don't take kindly to some prima Donna shortstop

I'd argue that 0-3 with a strikeout and a walk is notable for a bad *(censored)* like Quentin O'Connor.

Big Trades
July 25th, 2006

Two major trades have occurred today, both of them involving an NL Central team:

Philadelphia Phillies send left fielder Pat Burrell (.306, 9 HR, 44 RBI) to Milwaukee in exchange for Lyle Overbay (.245, 11 HR, 31 RBI)
New York Yankees send 24-year old catcher Phil Johnson to Chicago in exhange for veteran first baseman Derrek Lee (.291, 17 HR, 47 RBI)

The Phillies (53-46, 3.0 GB in NL East) seem to be trying to make a playoff push, but it's unclear why the Brewers (40-59) are picking up a left fielder when they already have Carlos Lee and are all but out of contention anyway. Meanwhile, the Chicago deal is also puzzling, as Johnson is a largely unproven hitter and Derrek Lee has been a major factor in propelling the Cubs to their 56-42 record. Experts everywhere agree that the Yankees got the better end of that deal.

Rockies Trade Guzman
July 25th, 2006
Zachary Bluth

Following the absolute implosion of the Rockies bullpen in today's loss to the Dodgers, Michael Cathaway executed a deal with the San Francisco Giants, giving up outfielder Freddy Guzman (9-33, 13 pinch running appearances, 9 R, 6 SB) in exchange for 24-year old relief pitcher Merkin Valdez (67.0 IP, 4.03 ERA). The deal displaces the 28-year old Scott Dohmann (61.2 IP, 5.25 ERA), who will be relegated to AAA Colorado Springs. Meanwhile, to fill the void left by Guzman as the team's 5th outfielder, Mathias MacKenzie (.326, 9 HR, 7 SB in AAA) has been promoted.

Valdez will serve as the team's second set-up guy, while Justin Germano (32.2 IP, 4.68 ERA) will be used in middle relief.

Tsao Drilled, Out Indefinitely
July 29th, 2006
Zachary Bluth

In a truly scary moment at Miller Park, Chin-Hui Tsao was nailed in the head by a line drive off the bat of Carlos Lee in the 4th inning of today's game. Tsao was down for about ten minutes and was eventually carted off the field, unable to leave under his own power.

Team trainers have announced the Tsao has suffered a severe concussion and the 25-year old pitcher has been placed on the 60-day DL. Tsao was in the midst of the best season of his young career, pitching his way to a 3.86 ERA and 91 strikeouts in 107.1 innings. Estimates place his earliest possible return at late September, but he may not be back in time for playoffs.

For the time being, Michael Morgan (25.2 IP, 5.26 ERA) will be the team's 5th starter and 21-year old Matt Cain (4-7, 2.55 ERA in AAA) has been called up from to pitch in long relief. However, Cathaway will undoubtedly be shopping around for another option before Monday's 6:00 trade deadline.

Rockies Record: 62-47 (4.0 games up)

that kid Ryan Howard might be blocked. Wonder who's patrolling LF for the Phillies now.

Yeah, that was a really poor trade in my opinion, you'd just be downgrading from Burrell to Overpaid.

That trade was completely baffling. The Phils now have a huge hole in left field were some 24-year old scrub is playing. Meanwhile, Jim Thome is starting while the newly acquired Lyle Overbay and the up-and-coming Ryan Howard ride the bench as the backup and 3rd string first basemen. It made only slightly more sense for Milwaukee, who at least have a young Prince Fielder to play first, but they now have two above average left fielders in Burrell and Carlos Lee. In addition, they also have a 21-year old left fielder named Jamie de la Rosa who's batting .276.
