Trade Review: Montezuma's and Cowhide


Montezuma’s receives:
SP Jordan Lyles
16th rounder

Cowhide receives:
SP Felix Doubront
22nd rounder

In combination with the previous deal, this made a lot of sense to capitalize on Doubront’s recent dominance (25/2.56/1.23/4) and get Peavy back from the DL.  It may have made more sense to replace Norris or Erasmo, but they were unlikely to yield a six round upgrade. With this, my draft board looks better than it did to start the year, which says something since I feel like I’ve great improved my team. Meanwhile, Doubront has been good for Dave and looks like a solid middle of the rotation guy with K upside going forward. He’s struck out less guys lately, seemingly in exchange for better control, which most would gladly take. Looks like a deal that will work out for both.
