McGehee Dealt for Chad Qualls

[Darkstone42]

Looks like Sanchez will be platooning with Jones, then. Qualls is likely our veteran solution to replacing Lincoln.

McGehee...what a choke artist he was last year.

qualls fucking sucks

I'll take it. McGehee was doing nothing for us, aside from one hot month.

This means Gaby Sanchez can platoon with GI Jones now, which I like alot.

He was redundant after we picked up Sanchez.

To bad we didnt get anything back, but he had to go I guess.

At first glance this looks like a blah deal however we have seen that the Pirates have been extremely successful in finding bullpen talent. Maybe another case of not being able to deal with the pressure of Philly/NY.

 

[Burgh Sports Rule]

Good point ramburgh. Also, if Qualls does not work out, we have RP options in the minors that could come up & fill the roll quite well, in my opinion.

As a matter of fact, I was surprised Bryan Morris was not called up instead of Daniel McCutchen? Or, Chris Leroux.

Bit of a head scratcher for me. However, it has been a Great day for the Bucs! We are much better positioned now, to compete for the rest of this yr & in to the future.

Not to thrilled about Qualls but the fact that NH got McGehee for a redundent reliever was a nice pickup. Then to package him for a redundent reliever shows he has no true value.

Anyway I bet Qualls won't last long when Cruz comes back.

I'd really like to see what Bryan Morris can do against a big league lineup, it will be interesting to see what he can do when he comes up in September.
