Nate Schierholz, C prospect Tommy Joseph, and A-ball reliever Seth Rosen for Pence.

Pence to Giants almost done. Seeing Tommy Joseph.

Lousy series this past weekend.

Still might be. He’s been really awful in the majors. He’s made almost 70 starts for Baltimore already.

Blanton isn’t good. Matusz hasn’t been good, either, awful, in fact, but at least he 1) is 25 and 2) was the fourth pick overall four years ago. Taken one pick ahead of Buster Posey.

I don’t think they’re going to get much more for Victorino. I think they’ll have to trade Lee or Pence if they’re going to get something good back.

Don’t think we should be expecting much for Nix or Wigginton, either. Would have been nice if Nix had made it back sooner and had a chance for more at-bats before the deadline.

Really frustrating series with the Braves. I don’t think they had much of a chance to make the playoffs anyway, but it would be nice to see them not look awful.

Starting to agree that Brown is the next guy up if any of Vic, Pence, Pierre, or Nix are traded.
