Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

A’s - Acquired Gaudin
Oakland A’s - Acquired P Chad Gaudin from the Toronto Blue Jays for a player to be named.
A great pickup for the A’s. Gaudin was rocked in this year’s cup of coffee with the Jays, but he did have success at times with the Devil Rays and he doesn’t turn 23 until next March. While Oakland’s rotation is right now pencilled in as Zito/Harden/Loaiza/Haren/Blanton, Zito could be traded, and Gaudin might find a way to get some time in over Joe Kennedy or Kirk Saarloos. Probably not a good PTBNL going back. I’m not at all happy with the Jays designating Gaudin. I don’t care if they just bought John McDonald back from the Tigers; generic utility infielders are a lot easier to come by than 23-year-old starters with some success. The Jays really need to make some moves - the 40-man roster is pretty tight right now as they have pretty much every 1B-3B in the organization there.

1. Danny Posted: December 06, 2005 at 07:27 PM (#1764021)I thought he had one left - did the D-Rays burn one in '03?
Is that different from how he felt before?
In the past, he just depended on being lucky with the big three.
And putting a keg out by 2B to motivate his beer league players.
I could be mistaken but... you options guys down, not up. The Rays added Gaudin to the 40-man (and 25-man) in midseason. Since they didn't demote him afterward, they did not use any of his options that year.
Eagerly awaiting correction,

In the past, he just depended on being lucky with the big three.
He was lucky with Harden and Haren is also lucky because he traded a product of his luck for Haren. If Loaiza pitches well, it'll also be lucky because Loaiza would have been purchased with revenue generated by him being lucky with the Big Three.
