All Wet in Pittsburgh

Found June 03, 2009 on Faith and Fear:
PLAYERS: Nate McLouth,  Emil Brown,  Ramon Martinez,  Mike Mussina
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves,  New York Mets,  New York Yankees

Mets rained out tonight. Makeup will be July 2, 12:35 PM. When we finish this series Thursday afternoon, it will be without Nate McLouth anywhere in sight. Adam Rubin reports he's been traded to Atlanta. Emil Brown replaces Ramon Martinez in a roster move that is sure to set my partner's heart aflutter. Reyes set back at least a few days in extended spring training, which can't possibly be good news in Met medical lingo, but at least it's not the same as Mike Francesa's forecast of Jose missing the next hundred or so series (apologies for listening to Mike Francesa, even incidentally). And could anything be more depressing in baseball terms than "extended spring training"? We all agree actual Spring Training goes on far too long. Imagine it never ending. Good luck to Randy Johnson in his quest for No. 300 tonight in Washington. Randy Johnson went 5-0 in the 1995 ALDS and 2001 World Series combined, delaying a dynasty on one end and dismissing it o...

Nate McLouth trade angers some Pittsburgh Pirates players

Via ESPN  |  June 05, 2009
Pittsburgh Pirates players are not happy that management traded away starting center fielder Nate McLouth to the Atlanta Braves for three prospects.

Just Contract the Pathetic Pittsburgh Pirates Already

Via The Big Lead  |  June 04, 2009
Nate McLouth had an outstanding season in 2008. He was an apparition on another laughably bad, contract-these-scrubs 67-win Pittsburgh team. He appeared to be the consummate centerfielder - speed (23 steals), power (26 homers), defense*, and he possessed the ability to hit leadoff. The Yankees, among others, supposedly coveted him. The logical move was [...]

Atlanta Braves make new addition Nate McLouth No. 3 hitter

Via ESPN  |  June 04, 2009
Nate McLouth said he was excited about the chance to win in Atlanta but was sad to be dealt from the Pirates, his only professional home before the trade. He said Wednesday's trade for three minor league players "was shocking."

McLouth says joining Braves a 'breath of fresh air'

Via ajc.com  |  June 04, 2009
As shocked as fans were by Wednesday's news the Braves had traded for a center fielder, and Braves players who learned of it on the Jumbotron during the game, imagine the jolt for Nate McLouth.

Pirates adjust to life after McLouth

Via Pittsburghlive.com  |  June 04, 2009
Less than four months after signing Nate McLouth to a multi-year contract, the Pirates on Wednesday traded him to Atlanta.

McLouth to the Braves

Via Baseball Musings  |  June 04, 2009
The Braves and Pirates swapped players, Atlanta getting a much needed outfielder and the Pirates getting some more farm hands. Nate McLouth goes to Atlanta for three minor leaguers. McLouth joins Jason Bay, Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte as popular Pirates who have been dealt over the last year, as a new regime tries to [...]

McLouth Now A Brave

Via Bucs Trade Winds  |  June 04, 2009
Like I said in my last post, if something major happens during my hiatus I will post on it.  What happened was one of the last things I expected to be posting on.  Nate McLouth has been traded to the Braves for three prospects. The three prospects the Pirates have received in return are: LHP Jeffrey Locke 21 A – Locke is a 6’2” lefty who was ranked number 7 by Baseball...

McLouth trade brings clubhouse backlash

Via Post-Gazette  |  June 04, 2009
In one corner of the Pirates' clubhouse at PNC Park, the small, circular metal table between the stalls of relievers Sean Burnett and Jesse Chavez had a candle lit atop it, adorned by the No. 13 of Nate McLouth and an accompanying photo of him in full uniform.

McLouth's Departure Allows Pittsburgh to Live the McCutchen Life

Via Walkoff Walk  |  June 04, 2009
Last night, Pittsburgh G.M. Neal Huntington hammered the final nail in the coffin that was the surprisingly good 2008 Pirates outfield, sending center fielder Nate McLouth to the outfield-hungry Braves for three prospects. McLouth's OPS has dipped a bit from last season but at .819, it's still a good deal higher than Braves regulars Garret Anderson's .668 or Jeff Francouer...

Add Valentin to the injured list...

Via Mets Fever  |  June 03, 2009
For those of us who thought Javier Valentin should be called up to replace Ramon Martinez, we can scratch him from the list. Valentin played third base, for the second straight game but left after three at-bats with shoulder soreness. While he wouldn't have been an ideal move because of positional redundancy ( C, 1B, 3B) but he was the best available bat, hitting .333.The question...

The Tornado Is Swirling

Via The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus  |  June 03, 2009
And it has nothing to do with the weather.With Jose Reyes being sent back to New York for tests on his knee (tendinitis is the new concussion), there's a real chance that Reyes will be out for significantly more time than two days. To me, that means there's more pressure on Omar Minaya to upgrade this roster ... at least that's what I was thinking before the Braves traded...

Prospect takes big step
