Wasn't Almanzar our Rule 5 pick? We must really like him.

 

So we ended up trading Jim Johnson for Kelly Johnson.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Kelly Johnson completes his tour through AL East. #Yankees, #RedSox and now #Orioles this season. #BlueJays in 2011-12 and #Rays in ’13.

Agreed....another good move.  I guess Kelly is the 3B and he's (LHed) hit better against LHers than RHers.

 

I'm kind of shocked that the RedSox included Almanzar in the deal.  RedSox get nothing back.....so getting Almanzar back with the chance to stash him in the minors looks better.

 

All of this works for September.....but it'll be interesting to see what happens with the 25 in OCT.  Likely means they go a pitcher down and keep another bench player.

Kelly Johnson is a pretty good defender, I'm not getting super excited about it though.

I would have liked to have seen Weeks get more of a chance with the team. But I understand with his suspect D, he wasn't going to be one of Buck's "nuggets"

Also, yeah, the FO clearly likes Almanzar. Interesting that Buck and DD talked up his ability against LHP, based off his 2013 slash line of .281/.345/.477. This year, he's hitting RHP much better than LHP. .830OPS against RHP in AA, compared to .693

They could option Gonzales or put Pierce on the 15 day. Steve C. can go back down as well.
<p>I am pretty sure Shack is thinking of PBR.

Because they like having the option just in case, and right now they have that flexibility.

Both of these are good moves.

Just depth moves and see what they can do to help.

Johnson has shown pop and ability to take a walk in the past.

Itll be interesting to see how the 25 man roster looks tomorrow because I believe that whoever is on the 25 man tomorrow is the 25 men who have to play in the playoffs unless there is someone who is on the DL. Im not sure we'd get a potential extra spot for Manny and Wieters or not.  If so, then we could add two player to our playoff roster who wasn't on the team on Aug 31. If I'm wrong about this let me know BTW. I know its something close to this.

 

 

 So Chen, Gaus, De Aza, and Johnson will all need to be added by tomorrow. Thats 4 moves. Clevenger is easily one of them. I think Paredes  might be one. Maybe McFarland and a DFA of Lough??

I believe you just have to be in the organization.  They'll figure out the playoff 25 (initially) at the end of SEP...everyone in the org is available for that roster.

 

You just can't have new guys after 31 AUG for the playoff roster.
