Cowhide Joyride receives:
8th rounder
Keepin It Real receives:
Matt Joyce, Edwin Encarnacion, 11th rounder
An interesting trade in that Pierce receives a first half wonder (Joyce) and a second half wonder (Encarnacion). He didn’t have to give up a whole lot (a three round upgrade) to get them, but I still wonder how they fit on this team. With Trumbo, Wright, Sandoval, Ellsbury, Ichiro, Markakis and Werth, it seems like he gave up draft positions for a couple bench players. That said, Joyce was extremely valuable when he was hot and Edwin has been magnificent over the past three weeks, so if you can catch lightning in a bottle and both are hot at the same time, they could just ride Pierce to his firs t championship.
Dave, meanwhile, is closing a very successful few weeks of negotiations that yielded three extra picks in the 5th, one extra in the 6th and 7th, and two extras in the 8th and 9th, where he will stop drafting for the evening. He did so by not asking too much for his leftovers (he’s still got Morrison and HMatsui, by the way), settling for picks outside the top four rounds. Surely, he’ll be able to fill in nicely around BPosey, PFielder, RWeeks, EAndrus, RZimmerman, and TLincecum.
