Kenny Rogers gone? 

Post#1 » by Liqourish » Tue Aug 26, 2008 2:33 pm

According to the wiretap, per DFP, Kenny Rogers has been placed on waivers and might be traded by the end of the week. I can definitely see the reasons for the move, but I'm interested in what everyone expects we might attain in return.

Also in the wiretap, Garcia has been promoted to AAA-Toledo. Could we end the season with a starting rotation of Verlander-Galaragga-Miner-Lambert-Garcia?

It only makes sense at this point.

Rogers is very old and won't help a team out of the playoff race. A contending team could be interested in him as an end of the rotation starter at this point, but not much else, and certainly not more than a push for the playoffs and grab a few extra wins type rental player.

I'd be skeptical of us getting much of anything for the guy at this point, everyone knows he's not particularly worth much to a team in our situation at the moment.
