His record is nothing special, did he just not get run support? 

[Jamie_B]

I know nothing about him.

He has an average year.

3.70 era but he was BAD down the stretch.

He's supposed to eat innings but that's based on last year alone.

India was bit below average in hitting and fielding

 

It's a trade of wait and see what  they do for respective teams.

As the saying goes..u can never have enough starters on hand.

1. Green

2. Lodolo

3..Martinez

4..About

5..Lowder

 

They may start Lowder at Louisville and insert Singer as the 5.

Chase Petty is coming on strong as well.

Deep rotation as is.

Dave Parker was elected to the he HOF

11 yrs as a Plrate..

 

4 yrs as a Red.

His outstanding s asons in Cincinnati 

boosted him into the Hall.

 

Great  performer.

Great  man.

Congrats Cobra

Matt McClain hit 2 homers in Arizona winter ball game ..

CES had 2 hits.

SS Edwin Arroyo with a couple too.

They've used Matt in center a few times but was back at 2nd his last outing..

 

Going to be difficult to keep Arroyo off the MLB roster if he has a good spring.

but he'll start at Louisville for seasoning along with Noelvi Marte and Rece Hinds...

I'm excited to see Francona at the helm.

I think the players will respond to him more than Bell.

With McLain, CES coming back healthy the offense should improve.

Traded some prospects for Gavin Lux

 

Also got a Rangers prospect  Owen White

[claptonrocks]

 

 

He's a good hitter with a decent glove

He hit 306 in the Dodgers last 61 games 

Could be an everyday 2b if McLain movew to third.

,Another good move by our esteem GM .

I like this trade slot.

Lux is a good hitter that can play 2B or LF

[Jamie_B]

I don't really get the addition of infielder. We need guys in the OF

First off he bats left.

Needed that.

Secondly he can and has played CF.

Krall likes players that play multiple positions

as you know.

McLain could play 3b to improve the defense there.

Alot depends on our new skippers preferred lineup

depending on opposing pitchers.
