Pedro Martinez

July 31st, 2009
Comments Off

News: Pedro Martinez allowed five runs — four earned — and three hits in five innings of a rehab start Friday night for the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the Phillies’ top minor league affiliate. Using a fastball that reached 93 mph on the stadium radar gun and an effective changeup, Martinez breezed through four innings against the Columbus Clippers, allowing only one run. He then gave up four more in a 35-pitch fifth. Martinez threw 84 pitches total, striking out four and walking three, in what could be his final rehab start before joining the defending World Series champion Phillies. Clippers center fielder Michael Brantley smacked Martinez’s second pitch over the right-field wall. The 37-year-old right-hander maintained velocity on his pitches throughout his outing, and recorded many outs on changeups. Martinez struck out Jordan Brown to end the fifth.

Scott Rolen

July 31st, 2009
Comments Off

Josh Roenicke has been traded from Cincinnati to Toronto as part of the deal that shipped Scott Rolen to the Reds, according to TSN.

Our View: Roenicke held a 2.70 ERA over 13.1 innings of relief with the Reds. He should benefit from playing his home games at the pitcher-friendly Rogers Centre with Toronto, but his fantasy value will remain limited as a middle reliever.

MAN_BEARPIG says:
I dont understand why the reds acquired Scott Rolen – who are they trying to fool? They cant compete in the NL central race #mlbtrades

ferrisw says:
RT: Reds sent Edwin Encarnacion, Josh Roenicke and Zach Stewart to Toronto for Scott Rolen. – A new GM, but still the same bad trades.

So long Scott Rolen, my favorite Jays 3rd baseman of all-time. Yep, I loved to watch him play.

@JasonKleinman you should be jealous the Reds traded 3 players 4 Scott Rolen. 35 yr old will take us to the promised land. Not likely.

Reds trade for Scott Rolen. This makes perfect sense…in 2002.

A little surprised that Jake Peavy got traded. Good to see Scott Rolen back in the NL Central.
