possibly Adrian Sampson. I hope it's someone better than him. We gave up a lot more than that to get Soria.

A closer for a 2 month rental..honestly I was never expecting much. I figured we get good for Price and Cespedes but Soria, not so much.

And the Pirates he'd be a setup guy.

Guess we'll find out who we got sometime after the season? This is retarded.

Like with Price, we traded for a guy that still had a year left on his deal. Not just for 2 months. Of course we would give up more.

Not just more. a LOT more. One of those players was just used in the Hamels deal.

Tigers will get Double-A SS/OF JaCoby Jones from #Pirates for Jaokim Soria.
Outstanding athlete. Questions on bat: #Tigers will get Double-A SS/OF JaCoby Jones from #Pirates for Soria.
Jacoby Jones: 23 years old. .260/.319.398 10 HR, 60 RBI, 50 runs.
SS Jacoby Jones, whom the #Tigers will reportedly receive for closer Joakim Soria, was the Pirates' 12th-best prospect, per MLB Pipeline.

Story on JaCoby Jones.
Getting JaCoby Jones for Soria is solid; tooled up athlete can really run, plenty of pop, likely CF rather than SS; lots of seeing and miss.
Mark from TigsTown
Jones immediately jumps into #Tigers top ten prospects, just like the other three acquired today.
JaCoby Jones is the kind of player you get for two months of a reliever in a down year. Some potential, but long way to go.

SAL notes: Jones' skills shining through
Power shortstop starting to meet high expectations in second half. August 2014.

I like on his minor league page, Positions: Shortstop, Center Fielder and Designated Hitter.
Sounds like he has some speed and power too. Could turn out to be a good bench player in the future. Not a bad pickup

That's not bad.. but what use do we have for a SS? If his bat is questionable, moving him to 3rd base would be stupid. Maybe move him to 2nd. Who knows. A pitcher would have been a better get.

He did have some pretty impressive numbers in A ball last year.

Possibly. If we use him as a OFer, his approach better change. This kid seems like a clone of Junior Lake. SS/CF guy who hits for power and has speed but doesn't use either very well.

Can't be upset with this. We need some position players even if just bench.
