Beane being Beane
Trades Blanton to Philthadelphia
After the Harden deal, I noted that trading starting pitching is like getting a smack fix for this freakin' guy....chase that dragon, Billy!

Re: Beane being Beane
With the amount and quality of the sh*t he's getting back, kudos to him. They don't lose much if anything by trading Blanton.
I hope the ATL can do the same thing with Teixeira!!

I can't stand the A's, but damn, they are doing it right over there.
Why can't Sabes trade a player to stock the farm system?

you have to develop players that are not part of the future first.

He did - remember the Pierzynski deal? Oh, wait, he traded FOR a player to stock a farm system.
Nevermind.
Jobu out.

I'm not overly impressed with this haul, though it's not for a very good pitcher right now, either.
Cardenas shows some spunk for a 20-year old in High-A. He's got a good average and OBP, but has only doubles power. He's showing off some better speed, which would make him much more valuable, and should have 20 SB in a season this year for the first time. In the past, his SB% has not been good, but he's perfect in 16 attempts this season. He's a good prospect, but I've seen some call him a middle of the order hitter, and he's not.
Outman is 23 and repeating Double-A. Working mostly as a reliever, he's had some overall nice stats, but nothing special. He is a lefty and has the expected but not overwhelming split. Spencer is 22 in High-A and is struggling. Neither are anything special, but Outman could be a decent reliever down the road.
Blanton, meanwhile, won't be the answer for Philly. It gives them some depth and he'll probably improve upon the performances of Myers and/or Eaton, but that's a pretty low bar. It gives the Phillies a #4 starter, but it won't swing the power in the division, and the Phils traded one of their better chips for him.
All in all, Cardenas for Blanton isn't a bad trade for either Oakland or Philly. But the other two aren't special prospects that any system should already have. Honestly, in the Giants' system, Outman might not even be one of the Top 10 relievers.

Re: Beane being Beane
What do you mean they are doing it right over there? Every 3 years Beane trades away his pieces and thus, the A's aren't competitive. The A's cannot even create a fan base because they keep trading all of their stars, save Chavez. What's left of the A's fans probably go to the game to watch the other teams' stars.
Beane makes great trades, but its all just a vicious cycle. He develops the players and then trades them all away at their height.

I was referring to this week. They are out of contention, and they make 2 trades to stock their system.
Isn't that what we all want Sabean & Co to do with the Giants?
