Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Friday, July 25, 2008
Latest edition of RoboNotes:
Earlier this week, the Rockies took a run at Orioles right-hander Jeremy Guthrie, offering infielder Clint Barmes, but the O’s had no interest in trading their best pitcher. Reds righty Bronson Arroyo and Nationals righty Tim Redding also are on the Rockies’ radar. Heck, the Rockies might even keep closer Brian Fuentes if they get back into this thing — or, at the very least, trade him for immediate help, not prospects.
...
The first-place Diamondbacks probably have made their biggest moves, acquiring reliever Jon Rauch and first baseman Tony Clark. The second-place Dodgers passed on acquiring CC Sabathia, Casey Blake and Jamey Carroll, a deal that could have won them the division. They expect righty Brad Penny back in about 10 days, but are still looking for a shortstop and late-inning relief help.
...
Don’t count on the Astros flipping newly acquired left-hander Randy Wolf before the deadline. Wolf attracted little interest before the Astros acquired him, which is why the Padres settled for a 26-year-old minor-league pitcher, Chad Reineke, in return.

1. PASTE is not impressed by Albert Pujols (Zeth) Posted: July 25, 2008 at 07:02 AM (#2872436)Carroll definitely would've been the difference maker here.
What exactly did Melvin think he was getting in CC? Jason Neighborgall?
I understand what Melvin in trying to say in that CC is a pitcher and not a thrower but wouldn't you think that the Brewers front office was well aware of that before the trade? I'll give Doug a pass on this one as he has done a pretty good job rebuilding his club but it's still a pretty stupid thing to say.
"Yo, Cash! It's Dan-O! How about Yorvit Torrealba and Ian Stewart for Robbie Cano and Mike Mussina? I know you totally need a catcher now with Posada out!"
