Royals @ Tribe- Series Thread

• IggyPride00

  

  That they would trade Pomeranz is stunning. I had been hearing on the local talk radios all week about how he was like the most untouchable prospect in the system right now. I could see them maybe trading Alex White or Pomeranz, but both just flies in the face of everything we have heard them talk about as far as building the franchise.
  
  I am not going to get on the Tribe for finally making an aggressive move, but man does it seem like they gave up an awful lot for a guy that has been exceptionally pedestrian since that 15-1 start last year.

  I'm with Royal K on this one. We got raped if we give up white and pomeranz. How many years does Jimenez have on his contract?

  We get him fro 2.5 years.

  He is getting spanked tonight. Though he knows he was traded. Gotta be hard to go pitch. Im stunned Colorado even threw him out there.

  From an outsider, I don't see where this trade makes much sense for the Indians.

  you could say that about a lot of prospects....hence, why they are called prospects.
• royal_k

  

  WTF? Jimenez is pitching and has given up 4 runs in the 1st inning.
  
  How is he even on the field if he was traded?
• se-alum

  

  Now being reported that the Rockies will get 4 players for Jimenez.
• Laley23

  

  This is getting ridiculous. 4 players for Ubaldo? But couldnt get Pence.
• royal_k

  

  The FO has lost it's mind....that's the only explanation.
• Laley23

  

  Can we please let Masterson finish this game? Give him a shot at the win on a walk-off.
• Midstate01

  

  Ubaldo pulled from game
• baseball4

  

  Shit, for 4 players we should have gone for one of the Angels' stud pitchers. They seem to have an ample amount of them. Fucking Ubaldo. This asshole better win a Cy Young with us.

  Four players for one? Hope the Tribe at least got a kiss after that fucking.

  I hope Chris Antonetti gave Colorado some KY, before they fucked him on that deal.

  I'm hearing there was some cuddling.

  Shit, for as much as he gave THEM, Colorado had better have thrown the KY in for free...

  Nope, they TOLD Antonetti the only lube he was getting was saliva.
• Laley23

  

  I hate Matt LaPorta. Dont swing unless its a fucking fastball!
• hangonsloopy

  

  I know I'm probably in the minority, but I don't mind the deal. Everyone was saying how we value our prospects too highly. Well, they were aggressive and got their ace for the next 3 years. I'm not doing cartwheels but it's not something I'm gonna be mad about.
• Crimson streak

  

  I'm so fucking pissed it's unreal if we gave up white and Pomeranz for him. I will blow a fucking lid. Unless there throwing gonzales or tulo in too then I would be ok but for just him I am fucking pissed

  Either way, he got drilled....this trade REALLY pisses me off.
• Crimson streak

  

  I would be ok with it if Pomeranz wasn't in the deal. He is going to be better in a year or 2 anyways that's what pisses me off

  He wont be our Ace, I think Masterson is better. I really like our pitching staff over the next few years, but I honestly dont think it is that much improved than if White and Pom were inserted as well. I would MUCH rather have given up on of them and Chiz/Kip for a bat.

  He only got drilled if Pomeranz and White pan out. Until then you can't say that.
