July 20, 2012 Jonathan Sanchez traded to Rockies for Jeremy Guthrie...

Meh, Sanchez sucks but Guthrie is one of the worst WAR pitchers in all of baseball this year via fangraphs. Plus he makes 8M. Not looking so hot right now. (Last year, yes)

What is Santana worth?

Keep deflecting.

You got called out and you were wrong yet again.

Does anyone have any insight into what move the Royals will make tomorrow so they can add Pedro Ciriaco to the 25 man roster ?

Moose to omaha.

have you ever been right about anything at all ever in your miserable life?

Deflecting what, moron? He's a negative value player this year and one of the worst in baseball - AND he's costing us 8M.


Don't be a fool and ignore the data.

I trust actual data over the unproveable opinions of morons like yourself. Sorry, but it's the only rational decision.

Negative value? He has a winning record and has only a few bad outings. So what if he doesn't strike people out. For the most part, he's gotten the job done. Dunno what you mean by worst in baseball. I thought that accolade belonged to Wade Davies.

Only you would negatively spin flipping Johnathan Sanchez for Jeremy Guthrie.

Dipshit.

You're trying to muddy the waters rather than admit you we're completely wrong.
We had Sanchez. We weren't going to keep him longer than last year, the way he was pitching. He, most likely, would've been cut if we hadn't traded him.
We traded him for another player in the same boat. Guthrie came to KC and finished the year 5-3 with an ERA under 4. Sanchez went to Colorado and finished 0-3 with an ERA around 9.5. As far as the trade goes, THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. We won that trade. There's absolutely no question.
His salary this year, and numbers this year have absolutely no bearing on if it was a good trade. None. He was a free agent, as was Sanchez.

In short... Stop always being wrong.

Isn't that a new contract signed this past offseason? The trade of Sanchez for Guthrie was only for the remainder of last season. Criticize the new contract all you want but the trade had nothing to due with this year.

Prison bitch is used to being raped.

Agreed. That's a fair distinction. If we want to separate the two as separate actions, I can buy that. So the trade was 2 good months of Guthrie. The aftermath is potentially, 3 disastrous years of an extension. I'll stipulate.
