Cowhide Joyride receives:
Dillon Gee, Jonathan Sanchez, Rick Ankiel, 8th rounder
Prestige Worldwide receives:
Hideki Matsui, Brett Cecil, Luke Hochevar, 9th rounder
The question here is not the draft pick compensation – a measly one round upgrade – it’s whether the players replaced are actually better for Lars. Matsui, no question, is better than Ankiel and has been one of the hottest hitters in the league since the all-start break (.470 obp!!). Both Hochevar and Cecil have ERAs over 4 (almost 5 for Hoche), whips over 1.30, and underwhelming strikeout totals on the year – though both have pitched better over the last month with ERAs closer to 3 and whips a hair over 1. Meanwhile Gee and Sanchez have better overall numbers, but have pitched poorly over the last month. Not a whole lot lost for Lars, but I wonder if Sanchez (who has over 1k/inning) will come back to bite him. Meanwhile, Dave didn’t get much of an upgrade, but he wasn’t getting much. Seems like, with Morrison to the minors, this teams has been thoroughly liquidated.
