Casey to Pirates for Williams per Marc's blog
The Pirates are close to acquiring first baseman Sean Casey from the Reds for left-hander Dave Williams, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports.
If this goes down, then it's safe to assume the reports of the Red Sox offering Bronson Arroyo and/or Kevin Youkilis were false. As we figured anyway. Casey is making $8.5 million next year, so Williams, a bottom-of-the-rotation lefty, is about what he's worth. Dec. 6 - 6:02 pm et www.rotoworld.com |

Re: Casey to Pirates deal close
I hope this is a situation where Ken Rosenthal's tossing crap on a wall again.
Donkey?

Re: Casey to Pirates deal close
It may have been a pipe dream to get a ML arm and a highly regarded young player, but this is certainly a big drop in talent isn't it? I must say it will be highly disappointing after initial trade rumors concerning him.

Re: Casey to Pirates deal close
Looking at his splits he got absolutley lit up at home and lefties rake off him.
BP has this to say about him "sometimes he can still get it up into the high 80's" eek.

Nothing more than a salary dump folks. But still, this is a heck of a deal for the Pirates if they can pull it off.

Re: Casey to Pirates deal close
Ok, now thinking about it, I agree with the salary dump statement. Earlier I said I'd trade him for anything, and it still holds true. I just suspected anything would be more than this.

Re: Casey to Pirates deal close
Oh for Pete's sake! Same old crap... only worse.
Give up a good player for practically nothing in return. I can't believe a better deal can't be struck for Sean Casey! I have realy mixed feelings about seeing him leave... but at least get something better for him.

Re: Casey to Pirates deal close
Penny stock time, Dan O deserves this, he was sitting on some fat stock and he played it wrong.

Re: Casey to Pirates deal close
The guy ranks in the bottom third of offensive categories for 1st basemen. What do you expect? Now use the money saved to sign Dunn to a LTC.
