Re: Jon Rauch to the Diamondbacks for Emilio Bonifacio
Rauch was the guy I wanted at the time instead of Majewski(who I never liked). Unfortuantely I think the krivsky really wanted D'Artagnan rather than Rauch. I can't imagine Leatherpants would have held up the deal over Rauch.

This is a very good deal for the Diamondbacks.

Re: Jon Rauch to the Diamondbacks for Emilio Bonifacio
How long is Rauch under control for?
It is a smart move for Zona as it should help them get to the postseason, but I don't think it's enough to go much further. I like the aggressiveness though. |

Re: Jon Rauch to the Diamondbacks for Emilio Bonifacio
I wonder if that means Arizona has been making progress in contract talks with Orlando Hudson? Most have assumed that Bonifacio would step in for him.

Re: Jon Rauch to the Diamondbacks for Emilio Bonifacio
So the D'Backs were able to grab Rauch for a prospect who doesn't project. Don't even get me started...

Re: Jon Rauch to the Diamondbacks for Emilio Bonifacio
If had a kid in the system with a lot of athleticism but who wasn't so great on the diamond, I'd be hitting up Bowden in a heartbeat. In fact, maybe we can convince him that Juan Fransisco is the next star....
