Baltimore moved their left field wall back and raised it this year. It obviously had a big affect on his numbers. The Crawford boxes will look like he can reach out and touch them. And I think he will. Over and over.

They aren't going to platoon. Mancini will play 1B against RHP and the OF against LHP. The platoon will be between the LF against RHP and Yuli. I'd still get Happ. Who can play LF against RHP and CF against LHP.

Interesting. I wonder if the Rays are sending the pitching prospects to complete the deal.

Hou:  IN - Mancini OUT - Siri

TB - IN - Siri OUT - pitching prospects

BAL - IN - pitching prospects OUT - Mancini

The 27 Tampa fans are gonna enjoy Siri swinging like a crazy person in the playoffs.  McDermott has a 5.50 era and a whip of 1.39 so I'm guessing he has pretty good stuff but no control.  He was a college player, so at some point you gotta just be able to throw strikes.

This is an encouraging development for page 300. I take that as a sign Mancini will get hot and hit .300 for us through the playoffs.

I just read a recent prospect article for 40 man roster crunches. Murray was on that list as a must add for Tampa. Makes sense why they traded him.

That's a great deal, if that's it's final form. Per Fangraphs, McDermott is a 40 and Murray a 40+ - so they swapped one pitching prospect for another that is roughly equal, maybe better. So they basically traded Siri for Mancini straight up. That's a win.
