Twins/Cards Trade

[Paul S.]

Twins get:
P Matzek, Tyler, $0.5m (P-n/a)
P Perez, Chris, $0.5m (P-2011)
RP Street, Huston, $2.5m (2012)

Cards get:
OF Span, Denard, $0.5m (P-2011)

The Cards trade a top prospect SP and 2 closer types from a bullpen surplus to acquire a proven outfielder for the playoff run.  This solidifies the OF/UT positions and provides bench depth in case of injuries.  Twins to confirm.

[Mr.TradeKing]

I feel like the production of those 3 players will match Span's in the coming years. I feel that is filling some holes on the Twin's roster and finding a OF isn't too hard. Matzek is a risk, but then again baseball is built on risk... APPROVED

i did the trade because i get two good relief pitchers and a top prospect and i can just find a replacement for span for next year

[MillerTime]

 

I am a huge fan of Span.  Decent return if Matzek pans out.

Relievers don't count for much in this league as they do in traditional FB.  Where is Tyler Matzek?  Isn't he supposed to be at the AA or AAA level right now?

I can't approve this deal until I hear a verification from the new Twins GM regarding his knowledge of the rules in that saves and holds have no effect on the scoring system.

Trade approval depends on two approvals from a five-person TC.  However, when someone on the TC objects to the trade then we need to honor their opinion.  Mark, could you respond to Mike's () question about your knowledge on the scoring system not having holds and saves?

[28]

i know there is no holds or saves but i need pitching and i like them

That's all I needed to here... I approve.  I would love to have Span, but you pick up three pitchers in this deal.
