Doesn't say what we get in return yet.

What is this, payroll cut? We are getting nothing but A ball losers for Garko, Betancourt etc which is predictable, but is this all we're gonna do?

Traded for the 9th best prospect in the Giants system.

That's a great fucking trade.

His stats, he's definitely going to be in AA:

I know, we should of got Tim Linecum and Jonathan Sanchez for Garko.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not?

This is how midseason trades like this work.

Maybe Shappy should have held out for Lincecum.

Dead serious, that's a great return for a average MLB 1stbaseman.

Given the propensity of the Indians to promote and develop their minor league talent, I predict this guy will reach the majors by 2019, only to have Eric Wedge never play him.

BTW, either Marte or LaPorta is going to be called up. And I'll bet neither plays more than twice a week.

Once Martinez is dealt, they will play plenty of games with no one blocking them.

Agree and hopefully this means LaPorta is our full time 1B the rest of the way, we have to see what we got with him because he definately has star power and may be a damn good player in this league soon.

I think you and BlueSeats should read my post again or get your comprehension checked.

"which is predictable" being the key part you missed.

8:46pm: MLB.com's Anthony Castovince says there is no player to named in the deal. It's Garko for Barnes, straight up.

...

 

[Gunther]

Good trade. Garko was not part of our future. We needed to reduce the logjam at 1B.

Then what was the point of your post?
