Mark Reynolds Traded to O's
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5891074
ESPN and Buster Olney are reporting that the trade between the O's and Diamondbacks for 3B Mark Reynolds has been completed, pending physicals. The O's will give up David Hernandez and Kam Mickolio to Arizona.
I think it's a good deal considering what we're giving up. Hernandez's numbers were okay and Mockolio hasn't proven anything yet, so I think the trade is solid since we're getting a starting, power-hitting third basemen and filling one of the major corner infield holes.

I don't LOVE it
but I like it. We were in desperate need of some power and we didn’t give up much to get it. (’sup Nationals?)

for the love of fuck
grow the arms, buy the bats, wtf Andy. And if you’re going to trade young pitching for a bat, Ryan, Mark Reynolds?
Your mother.
FWIW
I don’t know if I would consider either Kam or David young. Kam is going to be 27 this season, Hernandez 26.

Agree in general
but were DH and Kam really the guys we were concerned about growing? They seem pretty expendable. I mean Kam is entering his age 27 year and has thrown a total of 25 awful major league innings and doesn’t seem to be getting any better (truly terrible year at AAA last year – tons of K but 1.72 WHIP).
DH I’m sort of bummed about – he seems like he could be good eventually, but he’s also not that young anymore either.

We bought a corner bat for two not-so-great middle relievers
Hell yeah, I’ll take it for 30+ HRs from 3B and an OBP over .320

I loved Batista
Speaking of which… anyone want a PSA 10 Tony Batista rookie card? :(

I'm good
What did we need at the start of the offseason. 3B 1B SS. Yes we need RP and maybe a SP but neither of these guys were that. DH was nice out of the pen but that’s it. He didn’t have a good enough arsenal of pitches. My concern isn’t the 7th and 8th innings when we have 0 or 1 runs on the board. They will sign a RP and it looks like prob bring Koji back. I wont say great start to our offseason but its not horrible. I will take Reynolds over Bell any day
