30 Team MLB Scoop August 20th Edition - RealGM Wiretap
??The National League
The Kevin Towers
Clark Globe of MLB: “With ground to make up in the National League West --
the Diamondbacks woke up on Sunday five games back of the Giants and 4 12 games
back of the Dodgers – [Kirk] Gibson knows the time to make a move is now.”
The Frank Wren
David O’Brien of Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “For seven innings
Sunday Norichika
Aoki Jersey , the only real shame for the Braves was their complete
lack of offensive support for Mike Minor, continuing a trend when the young
left-hander’s on the mound.”
The Jed Hoyer
Fred Mitchell of Chicago Tribune: “Dale Sveum may have questioned Brett
Jackson's poor execution on an attempted steal of third base in the ninth inning
Sunday, but he was pleased with the gradual overall performance of the rookie
outfielder during the Reds series.”
The Walt Jocketty
Mark Sheldon of MLB: “The Reds had their 13th sellout of the season on
Sunday, which established a new Great American Ball Park record and broke the
previous mark of 12 sellouts in 2011.”
The Dan O’Dowd
Patrick Saunders of Denver Post: “Come Wednesday afternoon, former Rockies
catcher Ben Petrick will stand in front of a crowd of 250 people, bare his soul
and share his message of hope.”
The Michael Hill
Clark Spencer of Miami Herald: “Despite missing 60 games while serving two
separate stints on the disabled list with a thumb injury Nolan Ryan
Jersey , Emilio Bonifacio still has a shot at winning the league’s
stolen base title.”
The Jeff Luhnow
David Barron of Houston Chronicle: “After more than 500 games as a catcher in
the minor leagues and more than 2,300 games as a minor league manager, an
afternoon’s disappointment can scarcely hold a candle to the fulfillment for
Tony DeFrancesco.”
The Ned Colletti
Jim Peltz of Los Angeles Times: “One of the Dodgers at the center of Hanley
Ramirez's transition to the team is coach Manny Mota.”
The Doug Melvin
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: “Despite a couple of rough starts recently and an
innings total that continues to climb, the Milwaukee Brewers don't have any
immediate plans to shut down rookie right-hander Mike Fiers.”
The Sandy Alderson
Andy Martino of New York Daily News: “Will Johan Santana have any trade value
this winter? The question might seem a bit silly after the lefty’s latest
shellacking on Friday night, and will be nearly moot if the Mets shut Santana
down in the near future.”
The Ruben Amaro Jr.
David Murphy of Philadelphia Daily News: “Assuming the Phillies keep their
rotation in order the rest of the way, Cole Hamels should have eight starts to
further his case for the 2012 National League Cy Young Award.”
The Neal Huntington
Charlie Wilmouth of Bucs Dugout: “The Pirates won an exhausting six-hour game
in the 19th inning on Sunday Mike Scott
Jersey , 6-3, hopefully ending the curse of Jerry Meals, whose
blown call at home plate in the 19th inning in Atlanta last year marked a
symbolic end to the 2011 season.”
The John Mozeliak
Viva El Birdos: “For the last couple of months the St. Louis Cardinals have
had two former relievers in their mid-twenties in the rotation, and I'm going to
be honest: I didn't expect there to be much in the way of controversy when the
second one, Joe Kelly, was moved to the bullpen to make room for Jaime Garcia.”
The Josh Byrnes
Gaslamp Ball: “Carlos Quentin was hit by a pitch in the second and looked
PISSED and momentarily thought about ripping Ryan Vogelsong's arm from its
socket. Clayton Richard plunked Brandon Belt in the fourth as retaliation. Both
teams were warned.”
The Brian Sabean
Henry Schulman of San Francisco Chronicle: “Minor-league organizational
players know their time in The Show usually will arrive when somebody on the big
club gets hurt or falls into a slump. Imagine how Justin Christian felt when he
was told to pack for San Diego because Melky Cabrera was suspended for failing a
drug test.”
The Mike Rizzo
Nats Enquirer: Here is an amazing photo of Bryce Harper at age 12.
The American League
The Dan Duquette
Eduardo A. Encina of Baltimore Sun: “After taking two of three in
Detroit Lance
McCullers Jersey , the Orioles will have some tough roster
decisions to make as they try to ensure that their bullpen stays fresh while
playing with a short bench.”
The Ben Cherington
Alex Speier of WEEI: “Red Sox GM Ben Cherington said that, while the Sox have
made two deals this month — one to acquire third baseman Danny Valencia from the
Twins for minor leaguer Jeremias Pineda, and another to send Kelly Shoppach to
the Mets for reliever Pedro Beato — the team is still taking stock of whether it
might consider further deals.”
The Kenny Williams
Mark Gonzales of Chicago Tribune: “Gavin Floyd's recent success at U.S.
Cellular Field hasn't gone to his head. He's not about to guarantee he'll stop
the White Sox's three-game losing streak.”
The Chris Antonetti
Paul Hoynes of Cleveland Plain Dealer: “Shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, a
finalist for the Gold Glove award in 2011, has made 16 errors this season.
That's one more than Cabrera had last season.”
The Dave Dombrowski
Lynn Henning of Detroit News: “Outside of Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder and
Austin Jackson Josh Reddick
Jersey , the Tigers seem to specialize in ground balls, double
plays, and soft fly-outs. One-third of Leyland's lineup delivers. The rest of
the cast can't sustain any kind of reliable attack.”
