hopefully Bauer turns into something good for once...he fell out of favor in arizona for whatever reason...red flags possibly...choo was in his final year and was gone anyway so to get bauer in the deal i will take it...i dont care about stubbs at all...if he plays anything like he did in 2010 i will not pay a homeless man to hurt him...i have no idea about the relievers we got...sipp was up and down...later...now the question is what we do with asdrubal...i always wanted us to resign him...but depending on what he demands hes probably the next one out

What exactly did Arizona get for a guy that was a top 10 prospect? The Reds seem to have done well if only for 1 year (which is big for a contender). The Indians got a top of the line starting prospect. The DBacks got a SS who at the very best projects at above average, a not so good reliever, and a first baseman who was thought to be a top 100 prospect but has not shown it the last 2 years.

It is weird that the Dbacks gave up Bauer to the Indians in a deal that wasnt for Asdrubal Cabrera, hopefully they dont know something that the Indians dont

Who are all these random relievers we keep picking up? Can we just put them in the pen with Barnes and Pestano and a cool guy like dick pole.

And what are CIN fan's opinions on Billy Hamilton?

Shaw is 25 and has been solid so far in his MLB career (3.18 ERA 65K/32BB in 87.2 innings)

Albers is 30 with not much success (hes a gas can, he had the best season of his career last year posting a 2.39 ERA between Boston and Arizona, other then that his ERA is constantly in the high 4-6 range)

The Cleveland Indians, Arizona Diamondbacks and Cincinnati Reds have completed a massive nine player three-team trade tonight.
The Indians have received right-handed pitcher Trevor Bauer, right-handed pitcher Matt Albers, and right-handed pitcher Bryan Shaw from the Diamondbacks and outfielder Drew Stubbs from the Reds. To complete the deal the Indians sent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, infielder Jason Donald and cash considerations to the Reds, and sent left-handed pitcher Tony Sipp and first baseman Lars Anderson to the Diamondbacks.
Bauer, 21, was the third overall selection by Arizona in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft out of UCLA after winning the 2011 Golden Spikes Award and National Player of the Year. Named the 9th overall prospect in Minor League Baseball entering 2012, he spent most of the 2012 season between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno where he went a combined 12-2 with a 2.42 ERA in 22 starts (130.1IP, 107H, 35ER, 61BB, 157K, .223AVG) and averaged 10.8 strikeouts per 9.0IP. He also became the first member of the 2011 draft to appear in the big leagues ahead of Indians right-hander Cody Allen, making four starts for the Diamondbacks in July. In his brief Minor League career he owns an ERA of 3.00 in 156.0 innings of work (134H, 52ER, 73BB, 200K, .229AVG) while fanning 11.5 batters per 9.0IP.
Stubbs, 28, has appeared in parts of four Major League seasons with the Reds since 2009 after being selected in the first round (8th overall) of the 2006 draft, batting .241 (431-1791) with 59HR, 178RBI, 110SB, 285 runs (.312OBP/.386SLG) in 486 career games. The right-handed hitter has also posted a career .276 (127-460) avg./.821 OPS vs. left-handed pitching. Stubbs recorded at least 30 stolen bases for the third consecutive season in 2012, becoming one of just six Major League players to do so over the span since 2010 (Bourn, Crisp, R. Davis, J. Reyes, B.J. Upton). With 40 steals in 2011, Stubbs became the first Reds player to reach that threshold since Deion Sanders swiped 56 bags in 1997. Defensively, the University of Texas product has appeared exclusively in center field in 481 career games (24 outfield assists).
Albers, 29, split the 2012 season between the Boston Red Sox and Arizona, going a combined 3-1 with a 2.39ERA in 63 relief appearances (60.1IP, 46H, 16ER, 22BB, 44K, .215AVG). Over Matt?s final 11 outings with the D-Backs in September he posted an ERA of 1.80 (10.0IP, 9H, 2R/ER, 9K). On the year with Boston and Arizona he limited left-handed batters to a .207 (17-82) average against. The Houston, TX native was a 23rd round pick of the Astros in 2001 and debuted with his hometown team in 2006. He was traded to Baltimore prior to the 2008 season and after a successful stint in Boston in 2011-12 he was acquired by Arizona at the trading deadline for LHP Craig Breslow.
Shaw, 25, spent most of the 2012 season in the Arizona bullpen where he went 1-6 with 2 saves and a 3.49ERA in 64 relief appearances (59.1IP, 60H, 23ER, 4HR, 24BB, 41K, .273AVG). The Livermore, CA native also spent two weeks in Triple-A Reno in July and August, posting an ERA of 2.25 in 8 outings (8.0IP, 6H, 2R/ER, 10K, .207AVG). Shaw began his pro career in 2008 after the second round selection by Arizona out of Long Beach State (CA). He debuted with the D-Backs in June 2011 and owns a two-year career Major League record of 2-6 with a 3.18ERA in 97 relief outings (87.2IP, 90H, 31ER, 65K).

There will be one season where he goes 19-8 (every fucking good pitcher has one season of 19-8 here) at which point he will either a) get traded for a bat rack and a case of Viagra for Shapiro, b) tear both hammies and both quads falling up a flight of stairs while jerking off, or c) forget who he was (or, possibly, not be who he actually was) and turn into a pile of giant suck. COME ON DOWN!
