sdogg Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Had no doubt that Kimbrel would be traded this year. g-dawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Homer the Brave Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Got some prospects and a draft pick. When you consider how impossible it was to get rid of BJ, it is a pretty good deal actually. But I knew it would take losing a good layer in the deal to get someone to take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNulty Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I said this months ago: I would have given a team Justin Upton to take BJ and his contract. Instead we get peanuts for Justin, sit and wait with BJ, and it costs us Kimbrel. And it was to the same ******* teamAbsolutely terrible job by what seems to be a completely lost front office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roddy84 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 In my opinion the move helped out offense and starting pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLBrave Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Wisler might be the best prospect we've gotten all offseason. It sucks to lose Kimbrel, arguably one of the greatest closers in history, but at the end of the day, he's still a relief pitcher. The fact that we got anything of value in a deal that sent Upton packing is beyond me. My thoughts on the inclusion of Maybin and Quentin:Maybin gives us the backup CF option that the team wanted and a guy that's got better defense than Young Jr., should the latter not hit as well as he has this Spring. I think this also cements the Peraza-to-CF talk. We are no longer contractually hamstrung by BJ (sorry, not calling him 'Melvin'), so we can afford to switch our top prospect to a bigger position of need IMO than 2B. Quentin is merely a salary dump in-kind for SD. He's basically owed $11m this year ($3m buyout at the end of the year). He will most likely platoon with Gomes in LF.It sucks to lose Kimbrel, as he was a fan favorite for everyone, but of all positions on this team that we could afford to lose a guy, that one was it. g-dawg, K26dp, falconsrus and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLBrave Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Now see that we plan on DFA'ing Quentin. There was the money exchange. We essentially gave the Padres $11m. K26dp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I've said it a thousand times after we were "rebuilding" and gave up Justin, JHey & Gattis yet signed Markakis to that deal...are we sure Hart knows what he's doing? Seriously, I think everyone had stars in their eyes because of what he did in Cleveland and didn't factor 1) how long ago that was & 2) what he did in Texas.If I'm wrong I'll own it but I'm done with Hart. I don't care that we haven't played a game this year. Falconsfan567 and Nicolae 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNulty Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I know Kimbrel would be an uneeded luxery for the next couple of seasons, but his reasonable extension would've still had him on the team when we're supposed to be competitive again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly adding Melvin cut Kimbrels trade value in half. #1 prospect for half of a great closer is a good return. Throw in a ML level CF, a quality prospect, and a draft pick? Great trade.

MAD597 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 To put it bluntly this team can go **** itself, Kimbrel could have been with the team and been a top reliever for another 10 + years even if we sucked for a couple of years every team needs a shut down reliever.
