I can almost see it coming, and it (Non-Tendering Jimenez) has been one of my bigger fears this offseason. This sort of enhances the chances of that or so it seems.Originally Posted by SteelSD

No Way! You go to Arb. and then trade him in July and maybe get a better prospect then Mosely.
yr probably right. sorry M2. mind is kinda frazzled after a long night of tracking down nonexistent Dunn-to-DBacks leads. again, my apologies.
Good move in my opinion. The Reds trade an unknown commidity for a known commodity. There is no pleasing the Reds fans, they complain because we cant get a major league pitcher and we get one and they complain.
Just one man's opinion, but I've read and heard too many insane and inane comments from front office types and "insiders" to put a ton of stock in what they think. I long ago decided to trust my own judgment instead of theirs.
So when I see the Angels deal away a starting pitcher who'd have taken roughly $4M out of the budget, my guess is this makes them more likely to pursue some of the remaining free agent starters as there's no sensible reason why one less arm and a pile of freed-up cash would make them less likely to pursue such an arm.

I like this deal because I always thought Moseley was overated. Ortiz should do well in the NL.
No problem, I didn't take what you wrote as anything personal. Great job of tracking this down. Seriously, top notch work.

Jimmy haynes is a known commodity as well. So you recommend we sign him? If someone is a known commodiy, but a not so good one, what good is it that we know what he gives us?

Ortiz made $3.27M last year and he's going to arbitration. He's structurally guaranteed to make too much money, $3.75M on the low side.

they signed Byrd
Aw sheesh!
Maybe there's cash involved in this deal.:

"You're as like to have monkey's fly out your arse" as to get close to that!!!
(Titanic was it?)
Okay so besides losing Moseley, they've in effect signed two free agent pitchers worth nearly or more than seven million...And Matt Clement wanted eight million?
Hmmmmm....

Well hopefully this is a guy who will eat up innings on a ballclub that really needs a starter to eat up innings. I like the trade.
