Trade trade trade

Braves 在季中交易期限內完成最後的二筆交易
1) Braves sent Kyle Davies to Kansas in exchange for Royals closer Octavio Dotel.
2) Braves sent Wilfredo Ledezma and Will Startup to San Diego for lefty Royce Ring

看來 John Schuerholz 是吃了秤砣鐵了心,今年非打進季後賽不可的樣子,把季中交易市場可能得到的籌碼都弄進來,現在只剩先發投手這塊空缺,不過也沒什麼好貨可以換就是了。
Damn! I like our chances, but dislike to see our high potential prospects leaving. Bittersweet, period.
btw, I think that I really have to understand the logic of "Built to win" over and over again. (Review: Built to Win)

開季以來猛打擺子的 Kyle Davies 還是被交易出去了,顯然他不在 Braves 未來的藍圖裏,我不是他的支持者,不過還是希望他在 Royals 系統裡有好的發展。

Octavio Dotel 近五年的成績:

Yr W L ERA IP K/9 BB/9 HR/9 WHIP FIP GB FB
2003 6 4 2.48 87.0 10.03 3.21 0.93 0.97 3.49 73 94
2004 6 6 3.69 85.1 12.87 3.48 1.37 1.18 3.62 52 102
2005 1 2 3.52 15.1 9.39 6.46 1.17 1.37 4.96 9 19
2006 0 0 10.80 10.0 6.30 9.90 1.80 2.90 7.70 15 18
2007 2 1 3.91 23.0 11.35 4.30 1.17 1.52 4.33 28 25

換成圖形來看比較容易,(referred to FanGraphs)
就看三個最直接的表現 SO、BB、HR

很不錯的三振能力、保送有點多、被 HR 高於聯盟平均。
對手平均打擊率約 .264、壘上有人被打擊率約 .157、RISP 被打擊率約 .132。
我沒特別注意過這位球員,所以不能多描述什麼。

** He's making $5M this season, with incentives likely to earn him another $1M or more. Dotel holds a $5.5M player option for 2008, an option the team can void.
$5-6M/Yr 和現任 closer Bob Wickman 差不多,不特別貴、也不怎麼便宜,目前可能和 Soriano 共同擔任 Wickman 的 setup。

前幾天被 DFA 的 Ledezma 加上小聯盟的 Will Startup 換一隻左手牛 Royce Ring (本季在大聯盟 15 局的投球,面對左打 avg .250, 對右打 avg .161),預計先派到 3A Richmond 等九月擴編才會上來,不特別重要的一筆交易,算是補強牛棚左投的深度。
** Will Startup, a former University of Georgia standout who was 3-2 with a 2.23 ERA in 42 appearances at Class AAA Richmond.

Braves' 2007 non-waiver trade:
Lost: Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Elvis Andrus, Neftali Feliz ,Matt Harrison, Beau Jones, Kyle Davies, Will Startup, Wilfredo Ledezma (DFA).
Got: Mark Teixeira, Ron Mahay, Octavio Dotel, Royce Ring
