Stupid Tigers Trade Porcello for Cespedes + trade Suarez for Simple Simon from reds

[UMRules06]

Cespedes and his .750 OPS and average defense, joy.

Where do you see .750? I see .780 on Baseball Reference.

 

[Mitchrapp]

He was horrible in Boston last year. Only way I'll be okay with this if he hits like his rookie year..

Last year. Infact .714 while in Boston. I don't count his rookie year because he's been going downhill..

Cespool isn't even a Top 50 outfielder and does not solve any issue DET has (lefthanded bat and top of the order hitter). This is a garbage deal no matter how one spins it.

Exactly. His first year has been his best. Why? Because scouting has seen him and Major League pitchers know how to get him out.

His defense is graded as above average only because of his strong arm. He doesn't get to a lot of balls and occasionally takes the wrong route.

DD fucked us again..Two starters we should have never traded, Fister and RP.

 

[UMRules06]

Porcello just had the best year of his career at only age 25....really hope Cespedes can be good, but it does feel like we let another more valuable asset go.

Bailey is owed a lot of money and the reds are in cost cutting mode

On the bright side, ar least Cespedes is a major leaguer...slightly better than garbage prospects.

 

[Mitchrapp]

And I'm not sure I can consider 22-23 home runs as a power hitter..it's always a big power hitter, no. Walk rate is low and he k's too much. Desperate?

Tigers trade for Simon. Now I hate this even more. Makes more sense to keep Porcello and sign a OF bat. I'll take Rick and Rasmus over Simon and Cespedes

 

[Sbee]

Cespedes sucks, it just goes to show how overrated RBI's are as a stat

 

[Rebbiv]

On the bright side, ar least Cespedes is a major leaguer...slightly better than garbage prospects.

Ryan Raburn is a major leaguer as well and is about as valuable.

 

[Mitchrapp]

On the bright side, ar least Cespedes is a major leaguer...slightly better than garbage prospects.

But more frustrating. If he hits .260 and 20 home runs I'll be surprised.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Of course the caption on ESPN: The Tigers added a big bat, sending starter Rick Porcello to the Red Sox for Yoenis Cespedes..

How is he a big bat?

 

[SpartyNash]

What did we give up for Simon? BTW I don't care that he was an all star last year, Porcello is 10 years younger and way more upside. Hating this move greatly.

 

[Mitchrapp]

DD has lost it..

 

[swami45]

Wow suarez and Crawford for simon. Now this is a disaster

 

[SpartyNash]

I pray to God that is a joke....Suarez and a good pitching prospect for this guy? Unfuckingreal

 

[spockmaster]

I should have fucking stayed in bed. What a fucking shitshow.
