Blockbuster ... And I Don't Mean MI:3
Earlier this week Dr. Rosendowell and DJ Dozier and Friends pulled off an entertaining trade. Reardon Rosenrosen sent around a notice to the league after the commissioners approved the deal.
Please be advised that the following trade between Dr. Rosendowell and DJ Dozier and Friends has been accepted and approved by the league's commissioners:
Dr. Rosendowell gives: Jimmy Rollins, Felix Hernandez, and Dr. Rosendowell's 5th round draft pick.
D.J. Dozier gives: Alex Rodriguez and DJ Dozier's 5th round draft pick.
As usual, Dr. Rosendowell is amenable to further trade discussions; please let us know if you have any interest in making a deal.
Many thanks.
Though parting ways with A-Rod is risky, the move does give DJ Dozier three high-upside pitchers: Hernandez, Harden and Carpenter. Of course, not every owner thought highly of the deal, particularly the group of owners who are out in Vegas right now for the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. Nolan Yudek (Vipers), Tatt Mareeco (Committee), Tam O'Flannel (Skillz) and Raul Prismante (Team Italy) all flew to Vegas on Wednesday for their annual 4-day college basketball gambling extravaganza. But that did not prevent them from following league activity. Mareeco opened up the gates.
On behalf of the entire sports book at Mandalay Bay (we polled them) I'd like to say that is the worst trade ever and McDavies is retarded. Hell even the chicks at scores were making fun of Mcdavies when we told them about that trade.
Yudek later confirmed Mareeco's, and the "chicks at scores," view of the trade.
He is not lying. In fact when we told one girl she peed her pants.
Worst. Trade. Ever.
McDavies, of course, was not about to sit back and take this heat sans response.
I'm going to file away these e-mails for re-consideration this summer. And not that I feel the need to justify the move to you herbs (oh dammit, who am I kidding, yes I do), but take a look at the numbers from last year:
124 194 29 1 48 130 21 91 369 12
115 196 38 11 12 54 41 47 292 12
Arod was coming off an MVP season. Rollins got off to an uncharacteristically slow start. Even still, the difference in Runs, Hits, and Errors is negligible. Arod has a huge advantage in HRs and RBIs, and solid advantages in BBs and TBs. Rollins has huge advantages in 3Bs, and solid advantages in 2Bs and SBs. So basically, if you net out the advantages, I lose big in 1 category. In exchange for that 1 category and swapping positions in the 5th round, I get the best pitching prospect in baseball. Granted, King Felix could still flop and make me look stupid, but if he has a solid, let alone spectacular year, I like the trade.
All of that said, I am starting to feel a bit like Isiah Thomas by virtue of stockpiling "talent" in one position to the potential detriment of my team. So get in while the getting is still good -- I invite all of you to take advantage of me in similar fashion with offers for what's left of my roster.
Cogent. Well-reasoned. And, depending on who you ask, either dead wrong or spot on. Only time will decide the debate.
