Well there goes our 3B need. Time for a SP, 2B, and RF lmao.

 

[elcheato]

Well you guys still need a 3rd baseman, Peralta kinda sucks lol

 

[RipCity32]

He isn't the cream of the crop, but he will do lol.

 

[sheed]

Why? Peralta is no better than Inge.... Should have traded for all of those positions + a catcher before this.

 

[elcheato]

He use to be real good, but he seems like he doesn't even care about baseball. He was our best player in the 07 playoffs..

 

[RipCity32]

Well cause Inge is hurt sheed lol. We need a replacement.

Maybe a change of scenery will help him?

 

[elcheato]

Maybe, when he is going good he'll be hitting doubles to the opposite field, singles etc.. Thats when you know he's hitting, when he goes opposite field. When he tries to pull everything, he sucks.

Anyway, the prospect we got looks promising at least lol

 

[RipCity32]

He also seems to tear the Tigers up, so maybe he will play well lol.

At 18 years old, the 6-foot-3, 155-pound string bean lefty was selected on the 21st round of the 2009 amateur draft. He landed in the Gulf Coast League and was voted “Tiger of the Year” after a 4-0, 1.18 era performance in 13 games. Now, a year later, Soto has had to have gained at least fifteen pounds but still maintains an ultra-slender frame. In 57 innings, he has accumulated 55 strikeouts, only giving up 2 homeruns, and posted a 2.37 era.

Well damn, put on some more muscle.

 

[sheed]

Damn, why the hell would we trade him for Peralta...? Although, we do have an enormous amount of pitching prospects.

I'm assuming that's why lol.

 

[RipCity32]

Also he probably slides to SS when Inge does come back.

Which is better than what we got now lol.
