Breaking News:  The Padres have traded former Cy Young winner Jake Peavy to the White Sox for four minor leaguers including stud pitcher Clayton Richard!

Now that the MLB trade deadline is officially over it seems like everyone has getting in on the action.  In the last hour so many players have changed teams that it is hard to keep track.  Here is a recap of the trades that have happened so far:

  • Boston Red Sox acquire C/1B Victor Martinez from Indians
  • Cincinnati Reds acquire 3B Scott Rolen
  • Red Sox send 1B Adam LaRoche to the Braves for 1B Casey Kotchman (terms not final)
  • Yankees acquire Jerry Hairston, Jr.
  • Rockies acquire reliever Joe Beimel
  • Twins acquire Orlando Cabrera
  • Tigers acquire LHP Jarrod Washburn
  • Pirates trade away more players, send pitchers John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny to Cubs
  • Dodgers acquire reliever George Sherrill
  • Marlins acquire 1B Nick Johnson from Nationals

Rumors still circulating:

  • Possible trade between Dodgers and Padres that would send 1B Adrian Gonzalez to the Dodgers and 1B James Loney to the Padres.
  • Trade talks still seem to be “dead” for Roy Halladay

Phillies Pour it on in 1st, Score 10 Runs

July 6th, 2009 BroadStreetHero

In case you missed the 1st inning of tonight’s Phillies vs. Reds game, here are some stats from the inning:

  • The Phillies scored 10 runs in the inning.  This is the 4th time they have done this in their history.
  • The Phillies sent 13 batters to the plate, and Ryan Howard was the only one to not reach base at least once.
  • Shane Victorino, Greg Dobbs, and Chase Utley each hit a home run.
  • Cole Hamels had his 3rd hit of the season, a 2 run double.
  • Reds starter Johnny Cueto’s line for the game: 0.2 innings, 9 ER, 5 H, 1 K, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 121.5 ERA.
  • Cueto’s ERA for the season was raised from 2.69 (4th in the league) to 3.45 (17th).

As for the rest of the game, Cole Hamels has pitched excellent through 7 innings besides giving up a solo home run.  The Phillies tacked on eight more runs to bring the score to 18-1.  Jimmy Rollins is batting .526 (10-19) in his last 5 games with 5 walks and only one strikeout, hopefully a sign that he is out of his season long slump.  Shane Victorino is making his statement for that 33rd roster spot on the All Star team with a 4-5 night and 4 RBIs.
