Joe Sheehan Chat 7-13-09

Jon (DC): Why are there 5 relievers on each All-Star team? Also, just like in the NBA we forever get All-Star Jamal Magloire, we now get All-Star Zach Duke and Ryan Franklin.

Joe Sheehan: I'd take more. What category of player is better prepared for an All-Star Game than a one-inning pitcher?

---------------------------------------------------------------
jake (stl): uly 31st where is holliday traded? if STL would you risk wallace?

Joe Sheehan: Still don't understand the Cards trading for an outfielder. Never have. They'd be better off just promoting Wallace.

Jim Clancy (Exhibition Stadium): How many contracts on the Yankees are worse than Wells's without the same effect on the team?

Joe Sheehan: None. The Wells contract is just mind-alteringly bad. He's had two seasons in his life that MIGHT have been worth the money he'll make in his decline phase. The only comp for it is the Chris Carpenter deal, which was also galactically stupid in the moment.
