I hope Drese and Hafner work out, because otherwise it just looks like a trade of one lousy veteran for another (Diaz and Myette)...

Myette isn't exactly a veteran. He's like the rookie that does something half-decent now and then, but usually does stuff like getting ejected after two pitches.

Well, by "veteran" I meant that he's got a fair amount of service time now, and is hardly a prospect anymore at this point...
baseball-reference isn't working for me, but offhand I think his career ERA is somewhere around 8.00...

He did lead the league with a 0.00 in 2000. Okay, so it was only in 2 2/3 innings, but still... I doubt I could do that well...

I think this will be a good trade. Diaz is a good defensive catcher but he doesn't hit very well, and the Tribe have Josh Bard and Martinez at catcher coming up.
Drese may be good, but he was pretty bad last year and got in trouble with the Tribe brass for arguing with his pitching coach. They promptly sent him to the minors. I don't know much yet about the 2 guys we got in return, but the 1st base prospect looks promising.

You'd like to get more than 4 HRs from your starting catcher, which is about all Diaz is worth...

Myette sucks, Hafner is a nice pickup.
Ryan Drese is a nice pickup for the Rangers. Diaz always killed the Soxs so i'm glad he's out of the central.

This makes me feel a little better about Thome leaving.
Bard and Martinez I think will both be in the lineup next season. Well, if Burks is traded. Both can hit very well, but Bard is an incredible fielder. Martinz is an average fielder but can hit better than Bard. I say put Martinez at DH or make him change positions.

Diaz hit only .206?
He was a good contact hitter before this year, hitting around .280 each year. Hafner is a great prospect. Who wins this trade depends on him. I guess the Rangers like Jason Hart more. |

Diaz is a good catcher who will do well enough as Pudge's replacement. Drese is definately an upgrade over Myette. Haffner showed that he was a pretty good hitter last year, and Myette just plain sucks. Also, Nut, Haffner wasn't a firstbaseman for us, and we expect Mark Texiera to be our future firstbaseman. He's better than all of the above mentioned.

Drese isnt a great upgrade ...
Hes a guy thats gonna need a lotta run support soemtimes, and none others. Hes totally unpredictable. One game its 7 runs given up, then next its 1 I just know Hafner came a stumble away from hitting for the cycle against the tribe last year..
