Fortunately the x-rays on Phelps came back negative so they'll see how he feels with his bullpen session before his next start. I hope he is healthy and can keep the roll he is on....I don't want to see Nova back into the rotation unless he earns it.

I came into this season expecting nothing from Pineda so whatever he does give them will be a bonus. It's amazing how bad that trade has worked out so far for both teams. Pineda yet to play for the Yankees due to a major injury, Campos showed a ton of promise and then got a farily significant injury last year. He's just advanced from 3 inning outings to 4 inning outings in low A as he builds up arm strength. Montero has been worth a -0.8 WAR for the Mariners and has been demoted. Noesi has been worth -0.4 WAR for the Mariners. It will be a few more years until the deal can be judged but right now the early returns are ugly all around.

Montero was evidently a customer at that "anti aging" clinic. Maybe that explains the drop off.

Anyone watching tonight's game? Injuries continue to be ridiculous. Granderson gets hit by a pitch again and breaks his left fifth metacarpal (left pinky). He's only been back about a week after recovering from a broken right forearm. A-Rod suffered this last year and missed 36 games, about 6 weeks.

Phelps is pitching another solid game (7.2 IP 6 H 4 ER 0 BB 3 K) and gets drilled in his pitching arm with a comebacker and has to leave the game. Really hope he is ok.

Somehow this team continues to find ways to win. Bottom of the order was huge tonight.

The New York Nordbergs.

Pineda might actually make it back in a few months.

Do you think the Devils would trade there 1st and 2nd rd pick to draft 3rd or 4th overall?

They would. No one would take that deal though.

Mods, can this thread be merged with the 2013 NHL draft thread? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I'm guessing a least a 3rd. If the Flames like a dman enough, it could work

 

Trading down from 6 to 9 where the thinking is after 6 or 7 there's a drop off in talent level, it doesn't make much sense to get only a third round pick in return.  I'd venture a guess that only 10 percent of third round picks end up having an NHL career of any note.  In 2003, the Devils had to give up a second round pick to move from 22 to 17.
