PrintDoes this mean my boy Augie is coming back? He is arb eligible and is still list4ed on the 40-man roster (thank God!) and is also listed as int he running for the 2b starting job...please tell me my wish for his return is coming true!
Augie's my guy, as you all know...along with the Best Mustached Man In America...and I can't wait to see them both in the spring!

I think it’s probably the case. I would rather see them keep the trio of Ryal/Roberts/Pena on the roster, but I think we’ll see one of them sent to AAA, cut, or traded and Augie brought back b/c of his defense/defensive flexibility.

Yep
I now get to eat crow for saying he was probably (ok, so I said more along the lines of ‘inevitably’) gone. Agree with NJJ though. If we deal one, I vote RyRo. Probably has some value due to a breakout year, and probably not going to repeat it.

It's a shame
we have to settle for the likes of Augie. He’s a dime a dozen in MLB and not going to carry us anywhere.

WAR begs to differ
Diamondbacks sorted by Wins Above Replacement
By this measure, Ojeda was worth about ten times what we paid for him in 2009, almost all due to his defensive skills, which tend not to show up in the box-score. He also represented excellent value for money in 2008, so I’d be happy for him to be on the roster again in 2010.

I was really down on Augie due to his offense
but after seeing how much he’s worth based on WAR, i’ve changed my mind. I’d rather see a pedro ciriaco given a chance though over Ojeda though.

I'd definitely have Ciriaco spend a year in AAA
We could do the Elvis Andrus “he’s here for his defense and his bat will come later” tactic, but that just leads to FA sooner and less overall production for your money. Ojeda and Ciriaco will have similar value defensively next year (and possibly similar value offensively…) and we can keep Ciriaco retained longer-term.

What about
the Justin Upton “he’s here because we’re in the playoff hunt even though he can’t hit OR play defense yet” tactic?

You mean the Justin Upton
“0-25 with 21 K’s is nothing when you see what this kid will do next year” tactic?
Love that one. And there goes a year of control. Le Sigh

I DO have some hope
that we might still extend him. Mostly because Scott Boras isn’t his agent.

So yeah
Sorry Rockkstarr, I know I argued incessantly with you on this one, and clearly life has showed me exactly what I can do with that argument… :-/

You ROCK!
Oh by the way I have a Tiger Woods joke for you and everyone:
Q: What’s the difference between a golf ball and a Cadillac Escalade?
A: Tiger Woods can drive a golf ball 400 yards
"AUGIE AUGIE AUGIE...OY OY OY!"
Yeah, I've heard that one.
Reports say that Tiger swerved to miss the fire hydrant then hit the tree. Why?
He chose the wood over the iron.
How is Tiger Woods like a baby seal?

Nice joke, Phil!
That was a good one!
Talk about JOKES, I hope this whole Augie possibly going to the Rangers is just that…a JOKE!
"AUGIE AUGIE AUGIE...OY OY OY!"
Ojeda on the trade block
Sorry, Rockkstarr12… :-( Per Nick Piecoro, “Infielder Augie Ojeda has drawn interest from multiple teams in the trade market this week and dealing the popular backup isn’t out of the question for the Diamondbacks.”
"Win, or die" -- Marquise de Merteuil
Yeah, we’re going to have to offload one of the three. Augie offers the best defense and position eligibility while the others are much more adept with the stick and are younger. But I’d take the best offer the market can give us.

Well that's sad
I was happy for her. :-(

OMG NO :( :( :( :(
I just read this and am pissed off…ready to take a golf club to Josh Byrnes for even considering trading him!

Thank you dear friend! Now I am in tears and am damn close to despising the Dbacks now
