Post a Comment*On paper this looks to have great possiblities - anyone know anything on Maloney other than what is listed? Anything beats losing Lohse to free agency and not getting anything in return.
John,
Any word on who starts tomorrow? Phil Dumatrait is scheduled to start for Louisville tomorrow...
Danny,
Its not about getting a player actually... its 4 million off the books.
Another 9 million when Milton goes
And 8 million saved when they dont renew Dunn's contract
20 million will help alot
in case anyone is curious...
he's at AA Reading this year, 23 years old... numbers look solid.

notes from his Reading bio...
HOW OBTAINED: Phillies 3rd round pick in June 2005 draft.
2006: Spent season with Lakewood (A)... Named South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Year... Led SAL in wins, SO and IP, was T-1st in CG and 2nd in ERA... Pitched first career CG in first outing of the season, 4/8 at Lexington (L, 6.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 5 SO)... Named Phillies Minor League Pitcher of the Month for June (3-0, 27.1 IP, 0.33 ERA, 12 H, 25 SO)... Won 9 of 10 decisions, 5/27-7/28... Made 22 quality starts (82%), including 12 consecutive, 4/19-6/27... Held opponents to a .194 avg... Had only two no-decisions the entire season (4/25 at Delmarva, 6/3 vs Hickory)... Struck out 10 batters three times... Named a midseason and postseason SAL All-Star... Rated 9th-best prospect in Phillies minor league system by Baseball America following the season.
This looks like a decent trade to me based on this guys minor league numbers. Back to the Cantu trade, I still don't like the fact we gave up Medlock. Now we need to make a move to free up a roster spot for Joey Votto. We have to play him this year and see what we have here before spring training. I mean, maybe we trade both Conine and Hatteberg for minor league pitchers like this Maloney and we go with Votto and Cantu at first the rest of this season? Anyone think that is just rediculous to consider? Don't get me wrong, I love Hatte but we have to promote Votto soon, he has earned it by his play at AAA.
He looks like another Belisle: ERA with no runners on base is 1.02. ERA with runners on base is 7.69. ERA with runners in scoring position is 11.61.
With this trade and Harang missing a start, do we finally get to see Phil Dumatrait up here?
It should come as no surprise to see Lohse traded. Better to get a good pitching prospect now than losing Lohse in free agency with nothing in return. I wonder who will start now tomorrow against Washington? I know Lohse was the scheduled starter.
So, now what does this leave for us as Lohse was to pitch Tuesday vs Nationals. Is Homer ready? Whom else is getting the call.
Krivsky said Bobby Livingston will start tomorrow.
