Willingham 3-5 with 2B and 3B. Leads the AL in OPS+ but apparently he is not good cheap enough for the Nats

But we got a relief pitcher for him!!! That's much more valuable than a everyday player.

Wasn't there someone here who objected to trading a relief pitcher for an every day player and who also happens to complain about the offense all the time?  :stir:

Grumbles. You probably aren't thinking of me, but I think a position player is more valuable than a pitcher...and I disliked the Willingham trade. I volunteer to be the "somebody".

It was neither of you. I believe the conversation revolved around the possibility of trading Clippard for a CF.

We had two variations - Clippard or Storen for Span and maybe the same for Bourn (now seems to be det).

AJ cole is at AAA for the A's.  that means they jumped a 19 year old over high A and double A.  he's 0-3 with an era in the 6's so it looks like they are freaking up his development.

Where do you see that he's at AAA? That can't be right.

PA likes Corey Brown & Henry Rodriguez over Josh Willingham.

I still find that laughable.

Yeah at Fanduel I played a lot of Red Sox. Knew it was a bad matchup for Tom.

I posted a link that suggested it.  At the time, I was in favor of trading Clippard for Span straight up. Still am somewhat.

Milone is 3-1 with a 2.00 era and a .852 whip

Not anymore ...

Willingham has a BABIP of .396. He's not going to sustain that. It's almost a 100 points higher than his career average. He'll cool off to his career norms.

Willingham on this team would mean no Bryce Harper. I'll take Bryce.

Why exactly would it mean no Harper and I don't really care because Willingham is a much better player than Harper now.

He got shelled by boston (number 1 in runs scored) Gio put up his numbers against the reds, astros, and padres- I'll stick to my prediction that milone ends the season with better numbers

Which numbers?  And be sure to bring this up again after the season whether you were right or not ;)
