Article: Nunez Traded To Giants For LHP Prospect

[Minniman]

 

Your analysis is based on "All Star, Batting Avg., and RBI"? 

 

FYI, his OBP since June 1 is .295

 

Yeah, he played poorly after the break, but so has the whole team.

 

Again, it may work out for the Twins, but it is just funny how low this team has gone.

I think the Twins get more if they take on more risk, but by picking up a near ML ready pitcher sitting in AAA with some quasi-decent upside, they pretty much priced that out.  That isn't a bad outcome in my opinion, especially if it means an all out push in 2017 to go young and upside in their rotation.

Eduardo is having a nice day in SF, his first start(at short). Single and stolen base, and 2 run double. 

 

He was certainly our most competent hitter and base runner this season.

Thought experiment: if we hadn't already acquired him for Nunez, would you have accepted Mejia in return for Suzuki? Abad? Kintzler? Ervin Santana?

Absolutely x3 followed by one "hell no".

Overweight ballplayers, the new market inefficiency?

I am willing to eat lots of donuts if a team tenders me a contract. Just saying. Lots of donuts.

How else do you think Matt LeCroy beat out David Ortiz for the DH spot initially?

I, too, am not as good as David Ortiz!

Little known factoid: the original title of the book "Moneyball" was "Dollars to Donuts."  Or should that be "Donuts to Dollars"?

Looking at the boxscore from tonight, it appears that Nunez likely lost the game for the Giants on a throwing error. The only error of the game, and I see there was 4 unearned runs attached to Bumgarner. He also went 0-4, and 0-1 with RISP.
