**The MLB Thread**

Renteria to Detroit for Jurrjens and Gorkys Hernandez.
Braves will start Escobar next season...saw a little bit of him, and have heard great things about him..
And all the times you flammed me for saying Renteria could go to Detroit.

However this trade disgusts me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Detroit got *****.

I knew the Braves wanted to move Renteria //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Well most of you were. Jurrjens is a good pitcher, and Gorkys Hernandez was Detroit's second best position prospect behind Maybin. Atlanta got two good players.

I imagine Renteria will lead off and Granderson will bat lower in the lineup.

I read on my normal baseball forum that Olney said on espn that the Tigers are now the front runners for A-rod. You can take that with a grain of salt, but I wonder what they do with Inge then? 6 million per is a lot for a utility player, and I can't imagine them being able to trade him, so IMO the A-rod to Detroit is over with them getting Renteria.

I'd keep Renteria in the 2 hole, but that's just me.

I heard Olney said Detroit on ESPN today, but he sounded like he was guessing. I don't see him going there, only because I still see him coming back to NY and signing with the Yanks.

But then where would you bat Polanco? Granderson batting 6th behind Guillen makes sense because of his power. Eventually I see Granderson batting 3rd after Sheffield retires. Polanco is not a disciplined hitter and is better at moving runners up then getting on base and scoring runs.

 
The more I think about it, the more I'm warming up to the trade. Gorkys Hernandez is a good talent, but is a single-A player and we have no idea what he'll do at the bigs. He is strictly great potential and a possible Andruw Jones replacement. Jurrjens is a good young pitcher who could be in their opening day rotation and has a high ceiling. Detroit moved awfully fast on this deal and I'm wondering if Jurrjens shoulder is 100%. Detroit did gyp New York by sending Humberto Sanchez for Sheffield.
