I know but he was always a Dakota Hudson honk.

"We got hit a lot on our left-handed hitters ... but we were not motivated to move players that we had under control unless we were, to put it mildly, blown away. And we just weren't."


Expecting to be blown away for f'in Nootbaar!?!?!?!

You'd (bleep) him if he did, you'd (bleep) him if he didn't.

What planet is this dude on

They still need to field a team... Who is Noot blocking? We have a thin OF corps and he's cost controlled.

So why trade him "low" just for the sake of trading?

I believe they were hoping to move one of their LH bats if a reasonable deal emerged.
I’m sure they got better offers for Donovan/Burleson but I’d guess Noot was the guy they preferred to move?
I think his choice of words “blown away” was the wrong choice.
They probably got offers for Noot but they were teams hoping to get a steal.
Having a down year and injured.
Hopefully he comes back and produces so he can be included in a package for a SP in the offseason.
