Laird traded to Tigers; what's this mean for the Sox?

According to multiple sources (but I'll link to Kenny Rosenthal just to make it simple), the Rangers traded Gerald Laird to the Tigers tonight:
The Detroit Tigers have filled one of their prime offseason needs, acquiring catcher Gerald Laird from the Rangers for Double-A right-hander Guillermo Moscoso and a second prospect, according to a major-league source.
The deal, to be announced Monday, figures to end any chance of the Tigers signing free-agent catcher Jason Varitek, who declined salary arbitration from the Red Sox on Sunday night.
Laird, a strong defensive catcher, is a .255 career hitter with a .306 on-base percentage. He earned $1.6 million last season in his first year of arbitration, and is two years from free agency.
What's this mean for the Red Sox who, by many reports, wanted one of the Rangers' catchers? Well, first of all it slims the pickens. The Rangers now just have Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Taylor Teagarden and Max Ramirez. With Laird out of the picture, I'm not so sure they'll want to deal one of those three and be left with two young catchers. It looks like Saltlamacchia -- who most OTM readers said wanted to be the Sox's catcher in 2009 -- is out of the picture.

Obviously
they want to clone Albert Pujols 9 times, to teach the clones all positions, and how to pitch.

Salty and Ramirez are projects.
Cafardo just says Texas will “likely” trade two. I’m not so sure—unless, of course, the Rangers are planning to sign Tek. Hey, they’ve done stupider things in the past.

Interesting point.
Actually, I could see them move Salty, and keep Teagarden and Ramirez. If Teagarden does profile to be their catcher of the future, they could get a stopgap on the FA market, who doesn’t have to be Tek.

How does this even make sense?
Yeah I know both Buch and Salty are prospects and one or the other might not pan out. Lets say both of them do. They are being compared to Cole Hamels and Jason Varitek respectively. If neither of them pan out this whole situation is moot anyways.
Would you trade 2007 Cole Hamels for 1997 Jason Varitek? No, never.
by drabidea on Dec 8, 2008 3:01 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Let's even look at their major league numbers
Clay has an career ERA+ of 83 in a total of about half a season. Salty has a career OPS+ of 91 in about a total of a full season, maybe more. This does not even take into consideration the below average defense he is currently playing. This poor defense will bring him down below Buch’s value and probably by alot. He has had more time to prove himself then Buch hasn’t done it and his ceiling is far FAR lower then Buchholz.
If this trade were to go through it would be an awful fleece.

FWIW
Right now Saltys line in the Dominican is .378/.517/.844/1.362. 3 2B, 6 HR, 12BB/8K in 13 games. He has caught in 7 of the 13 games and has thrown out 4 of 7 attempted steals with 1 error. Poor defense?

Hey guys...
stopping by from the Lone Star Ball blog. The Rangers ARE hoping to move another catcher and the consensus at the blog is that Salty goes. Teagarden should be our starter with MaxRam backing up and DH’ing. Obviously all of us want to see a Salty for Buchholz deal, but we are afraid it won’t happen. We’re even willing to throw in a good prospect (Main, Beavan, etc…) to get the deal done.
The thought is that Theo is posturing by saying that Buchholz will be traded and that Jon Daniels is trying to wait him out. I tend to think that Theo is going to win that battle and you’ll get Salty for less (Masterson and Bowden?).
We’ll see!

Yeah, Bowden and Masterson would need to fetch us someone really, really good. Bowden is a pitcher a lot like Buchholz, except younger. Masterson, of course, is proving his worth in the bigs right now but is still very young.
by Randy Booth on Dec 8, 2008 12:40 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
You are guilty
Of grossly overvaluing your own prospects. I can’t think of any way that Bowden is like Buccholz, except, as you say, he is also a pitcher. He doesn’t throw as hard, and, as far as I’m aware, doesn’t really have a ‘plus’ pitch.
by sggut95 on Dec 8, 2008 1:35 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Have you seen their stats comparatively through the minors? Bowden’s were as good and, in some cases, better until they both hit AA. That’s where Bowden slipped a bit, but still have eerily similar stats.
by Randy Booth on Dec 8, 2008 1:40 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Bowden
throws on average .9 mph less then Buchholz. He also has a plus change up already and his curve has plus potential.

To say Bowden is a lot like Bucholz is a bit of an exagerration
especially when you look at there national exposure. Clay is still a big deal. Bowden, on the other hand isn’t. there are a lot of prospects in the country a lot like Bowden.

Everyday that goes by I start to think a trade won't happen.
Masterson and Bowden for Salty and someone else (won’t happen, we like having pitching prospects)
Salty for Buchholz won’t happen, unless for some reason you guys throw in Teagarden too.
Theo doesn’t trade low on his prospects. Buch’s stock right now in the eyes of others because of last year is low. Theo is still (which I agree with) selling him as a previous number one prospect in the nation with Hall of Fame potential.

I'm really not too interested in Saltalamacchia
I was a big proponent to trade for him when he was with Atlanta, but I’ve soured on him since. He projects to be an average hitter with abysmal defense. He’s better suited to 1B or DH. Taylor Teagarden is really the only guy I want from the Rangers.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sox trade for another team’s highly-regarded catching prospect, such as Flowers.

I’d rather have Shoppach than Salty. I want Teagarden more than anyone, but don’t see that happening. I think Shoppach can be had for Lowell, a big portion of $$ on Lowell’s contract and a prospect.

You have to give to get
Masterson for Salty is a wonderful deal, even if Salty can’t stay at catcher. We all used to think Hanley wouldn’t stick at SS, and he likely will. Maybe Salty will as well, he’s still young and has potential enough for that.
Rangers wouldn’t ever take that, however.

Still have never
heard from anyone other than uneducated bloggers say Saltalamacchia won’t stay at catcher. Every quote that I have read from pro scouts and people in the know say the opposite. They believe he will have a long and successful career behind the dish. No, his stats from last year didnt look great but when given a chance to “start” when Laird went on the DL he excelled both offensively and defensively and did it for the most part with a pulled groin and a broken foot. He is now healthy and tearing it up in the DWL which is a good sign. Problem with that is it will cause Daniels to overvalue him more than he already is.

I've seen Salty catching a bit
And while I’m no expert and haven’t followed him as closely as any Rangers fan, he looked bad behind the plate. I think he has a shitload of potential, and I’d love to see him as a Red Sox. Not for Buchholz, though.

Throwing out runners
BP also has him as a well below average fielder, but, like I said, I’m no expert at catchers defense. He’s still pretty young, so he might be able to stick at catcher. Even if he was guaranteed catcher, he wouldn’t be worth Buchholz straight up, IMO.
Not to take anything at him, but I think Bowden would be a fair return for Salty. I’ve seen many Rangers fans underrating Bowden and Daniels doesn’t seem high on Bowden as well, so I don’t think it will happen.

Can anyone tell me
why the Ranger fans think we are going to sell low on all of our prospects. I don’t know why they think we are desperate. It is easier to find a major league average catcher then it is a league average pitcher. Not to mention they need about 5 of them.
I just don’t get it.
by drabidea on Dec 8, 2008 11:17 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
I think that they think
their catchers project to be better than league average. I mean last year Tek wasn’t that much worse than league average at catcher. Getting a good to great hitting catcher is a lot more valuable than a league average pitcher.
by BTLove on Dec 8, 2008 9:49 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
Rec'd
I agree that most if not all of the catchers the Rangers have can hit at the ML level. They will hit better then the average catcher and will at least hit as an average Major Leaguer. My doubt is whether or not any of them will stick defensively. As most of you know, I value defense from a catcher at a High Level.
My doubts are whether they will play defense at an average level in Majors. If none of them can, there is not point of doing a trade for one of them.

Except that there will be no Bowden – Laird trade (not that Theo would’ve ever done that). For Laird to play half his games in Arlington and have poor power numbers is a big indictment of his offensive abilities.

I think personally..
This impacts us more on our attempts to resign Tek. With one more team out of the market for a catcher and maybe another soon (Its being rumored that The Marlins are close to signing Ronny Paulino), there are 5 or less teams in the bidding. This only drives Teks value down more and more. Im not for sitting on an old catcher, but when the market is unreasonable, its really the best option we have.
