DMIT - Round 2, part 2


The first part of Round 2 had some upsets and I think there are many more possibilities in part 2.  In these matchups, we get to re-live the acquisitions of such Royal greats as Yuniesky Betancourt, Tony Pena, Jr., Mike Jacobs, Jeff Francoeur, Jason Kendall and Yasuhiko Yabuta.  Some great players and tremendous contracts.  Good times...

Matchups are below the fold.

Star-divide

#1 Dan Cortes and Derrick Saito traded for Yuniesky Betancourt vs. #8 Erik Cordier traded for Tony Pena, Jr.

#5 Jeff Keppinger traded for Russ Haltiwanger vs. #4 Trey Hillman hired as Royals manager

#6 Brett Tomko signed to a one-year contract vs. #3 Ross Gload signed to a two-year contract extension

#10 John Bale signed to a two-year contract (first signing) vs. #2 Leo Nunez traded for Mike Jacobs

#1 Jason Kendall signed to a two-year contract vs. #8 Jeremy Affeldt and Denny Bautista traded for Ryan Shealy and Scott Dohmann

#4 Jeff Francoeur signed to a one-year contract plus mutual option vs. #12 Hideo Nomo signed to a minor league deal and eventually called up to the majors

#6 Carlos Rosa traded for Rey Navarro vs. #3 J.P. Howell traded for Joey Gathright

#2 Yasuhiko Yabuta signed to a two-year contract vs. #7 Jorge de la Rosa traded for a PTBNL (who may or may not have been Ramon Ramirez)

People should vote for the Keppinger trade.

It would keep Yuni off the team possibly where Hillman is just another idiot old school manager.

I think Ned is just another old school manager.

And he is miles ahead of Trey.

Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

But the problem with the Keppinger trade is that no one saw what he had coming.

I mean, he was a fantasy fill in for me in his best year as his BA was terrific. It’s basically a Mike Aviles type break out, but we got lucky and kept Aviles/nobody wanted him. You can’t blame DM for Keppy. (Hillman nicknames are in for 2011!)

This is a tough bracket

Yuni and Kendall are the favorites, but Gload and Jake are tough competition, and Hillman might come out of nowhere as an underdog. And, of course, the anti-Frenchy sentiment is strong, though he hasn’t sucked yet. I might vote for Jake over both Yuni and Kendall because all three of them suck, but we gave up a decent player for Jake.
