Roster Moves
Dodgers Complete Sturtze Trade, Grab Myrow
The Dodgers completed the Tanyon Sturtze trade by acquiring IF Bryan Myrow, of whom Baseball Prospectus 2004 saysIt can't be easy to find people who would look upon a year and a half in Trenton, New Jersey as an upgrade, but after two years in Winnipeg, it had to seem pretty good to Myrow. He's not a prospect, but anyone with a career Double-A OBP of .445 is going to get mentioned in this book. Look at that PECOTA projection; for a team that never uses its backup infielder on defense, wouldn't Myrow be a better use of a roster spot than Almonte, or even Miguel Cairo?His major league projected VORP is 12.3, which is damn good for a minor leaguer. Last year at Trenton he hit .306/.447/.525. Well, they could sure use him at Vegas. Who knows, maybe they could use him at the big club.
Yankees Recall Crosby, Send Brown To DL
Transaction Guy reports former Dodger Kevin "Captain Happy" Brown has been disabled. In his stead, once-upon-a-time superstar, now goat Bubba Crosby has been sent back up. Here's your accordian, Bubba, welcome to Hell.Erstad, Turnbow Activated, Benjie Molina Disabled
Benjie Molina, unsurprisingly, was disabled at the same time Erstad came up, but the surprise was Derrick Turnbow returning to the big club to fill Benjie's roster spot. He had a serious arm break in 2001 that seems to have stalled his career since then. Well, this should be interesting, what with his 1-3, 5.11 ERA, 6.08 K/9, and 4.24 BB/9.
Comments:
well, happy news brings me back much sooner than expected heh heh. Is that really Erstad they brought back, or a imposter?? It's amazing how much depth one bat (GA) adds to the lineup.
one item of concern is Eck, now they're saying he might go on the DL... ack
