So much for the three-headed catcher.

How much did we pay them?

captainmorgan07 · 08-11-2007, 06:37 PM

so this is why he kept moeller all that time so he could trade him for half bag of peanuts and a case of diet coke. I guess some of the old guys in the bullpen could use the diet coke there looking alil overweight.

wow, i can't believe anyone would give up any money for him!

Muggerd · 08-11-2007, 06:54 PM

really this is mind boggling

Chi-Town Red · 08-11-2007, 07:10 PM

WK at the top of his game....

Praise God! I'll reconsider self-elimination now. No need to worry when Moeller gets called back.

mroby85 · 08-11-2007, 08:49 PM

i can't believe with how tight that race is in the west, everyone let this trade pass through the waiver wire, considering the impact moeller could have on this race

Didnt Moeller have to clear waivers each time he was sent down? If that is the case, why in the world didnt the Dodgers just grab him then?

Had the Dodgers made a waiver claim deal, Moeller would have still been considered a part of the major league roster, I believe.

This way, the Dodgers can give up "cash considerations" (not even a player) and since the Reds had already sent him down, LA can stash him in the minors until September call-ups, when roster space allows for the luxury of a third catcher.
