#Pirates acquire Ike Davis for RHP Zack Thornton and a player to be named.

 

[bradshaw06]

Is he much of an upgrade? Doesnt seem like it..

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Is he the first Jewish Pirate?

over Ishikawa? His career split vs RHP is .256 .357 .471

So it'll be a better platoon option with gaby? Sounds good to me.

Yes it should be. Davis got power, but strikes out quite a bit. He hit 32 homeruns in 2012. Was pretty bad last season

 

[stefanh]

Thornton isnt worth much so unless the player to be named later is something stunning this was worth it either way

 

[cheesedanish87]

I like the move as long as the PTBNL isn't anybody big, hopefully getting Davis out of new york and into a better hitting ball park will help him.

 

[iFishyHD]

Good trade.

Gomez going all emo after the first AB of the game

Can Ishikawa or Davis play outfield? I can't imagine the pirates keeping 3 players on the roster who can only play first base.

Don't think so. Guessing Ishikawa is headed for a DFA

AHAHAHA hilarious drop of a pop-up. Seen that coming a mile away.

Does reaching on an error count towards OBP?

Love seeing collisions that don't involve Pirates.

You gotta be on 2nd though Marte.

Edit: nvm, just go steal 2nd and go on to 3rd while you're at it.

Well, how's 3rd?

 

[Captain Hook]

So Ike Davis to the Pirates finally happened. Seems like that one had been rumored for years.

 

[Country Mac]

I could see Vin being the PTBNL but not sure. Good trade though, an actual platoon option with Gaby.

You can only trade a player 1 year after hes drafted so possibly someone from the 2013 draft class.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

**** off Maldonado

Edit: hopefully Mercer's okay. Charlie looks good thru 3.

 

[td_ice]

Good piece of hitting by Martin.


Just flared it out.

2-0 Buc's, 2nd and 3rd with Cutch up, one out.
