4? That is only half way to Jason's potential, I think you should call it a 2.

Updated

At 8.44, the inferno has been downgraded to three alarm.

It's still very dangerous, so be careful.

Tigers trade Grilli to Rockies; Cruceta to debut

by Danny Knobler Wednesday April 30, 2008, 5:17 PM


NEW YORK -- Francisco Cruceta is coming to the Tigers, and Jason Grilli is leaving.
The Tigers traded Grilli to the Rockies today, in order to make room for Cruceta to join them from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday. In return for Grilli, the Tigers received 22-year-old minor-league right-hander Zach Simons, who will report to Class A Lakeland.
Grilli, a Tiger since 2005, was 0-1 with a 3.29 ERA in nine appearances this season.
Cruceta has been a Tiger since November, when they signed him to a $500,000 major-league contract. He missed all of spring training because of visa problems, but has been very impressive in three appearances for Toledo. Cruceta has pitched seven innings for the Mud Hens, allowing just one run on two hits, with three walks and 15 strikeouts.
Cruceta has only limited big-league experience, and he had a 10.05 ERA in six big-league games, split between a stint with Cleveland in 2004 and another with Seattle in 2006. But the Tigers believe he can be an effective late-inning reliever.
With eighth-inning man Denny Bautista struggling with his control (12 walks in 12 innings), Cruceta could even become a candidate to take over that role.
Grilli has never been a favorite of Tigers fans, often getting booed at Comerica Park.
"I think I did a good job for what my role is,'' he said today. "I know a lot of people might think differently. But to those people, I just say thank you, too, because I'm a bigger person than someone who doesn't like my eyebrows or the way I pitch.''
Simons was Colorado's second-round draft pick in 2005. In seven games this year with Class A Modesto, all in relief, he has a 2.70 ERA in 13 1/3 innings, with nine walks and 14 strikeouts.

good move IMO. Instead of cutting him we get a former 2nd round pick that at least has a chance to pan out.

I'm so happy, I think I might cry!

Why do I NOT even care what we get in return?

I'm going to miss you, Cheese Man...

:dismissed:

He's officially Grilled cheese

As soon as Grilli puts together a good stretch, we trade him.


I love it.

I love it.

Sell high.

Boy, Grilli's going to love pitching in that ballpark.

Sell high.

I agree. It's just funny. Every Detroiter wanted him gone for 2 years now. And as soon as he does well, we get him the hell out.

*pops cork*

FUCK YOU CHEESEMAN!

I will always remember you for those goofy ass glasses and not for your pitching. (the good times)

Does this mean we aren't going to watch his ERA?

I'm somewhat mad because now he'll be gas canning it out here. I wish he would have gone somewhere else.

I still want an ERA watch!

I was planning on continuing.

Sometimes they reset their stats and only track their current league stats.

Well, they used to at least, maybe not anymore with interleague play.

In return for Grilli, the Tigers received 22-year-old minor-league right-hander Zach Simons

Solid.

I'm going to the Rockies game tomorrow. I better not see him out there. If so, I'll enlighten the unsuspecting Rockies fans.

For this trade, you are wrong and have learned nothing.

The Cheeseman's making his Rocky debut as I type.

His ERA is down to 2.84 thanks to 6 shutout innings, 8 k's (and a win) since May 26th.

WRONG THREAD

I was wondering where the meter went.

HOW YOU LIKE HIM NOW?
