Barton Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Can you believe we actually got something for this loser?? http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2005/07/02/sports/professional/padres/22_27_227_1_05.txt Padres deal May, Redding for Quantrill By: BRIAN HIRO - Staff Writer SAN DIEGO ---- The trade deadline isn't until the last day of July, but the Padres decided to start early. Late Friday night, they finalized a deal that will send pitchers Darrell May and Tim Redding and cash to the New York Yankees for veteran reliever Paul Quantrill, who was designated for assignment on Thursday. Quantrill, a 36-year-old right-hander, went 1-0 with a 6.75 earned-run average in 22 games for the struggling Yankees, but as recently as 2003 he was one of the best setup men in baseball. That season, he boasted a 1.75 ERA in 89 appearance for the Los Angeles Dodgers as the pitcher most charged with handing a lead to record-setting closer Eric Gagne. For his career, which also includes stops in Boston, Philadelphia and Toronto, Quantrill is 67-76 with a 3.82 ERA. His 2005 salary is $3 million. In return for a struggling pitcher, Padres general manager Kevin Towers unloaded two of them on his good friend, Yankees GM Brian Cashman. The Padres brought in both the left-handed May and the right-handed Redding to help them resolve their woes at the back of the rotation. Neither pitcher had much success, however. May was 1-3 with a 5.61 ERA, including eight starts, and Redding was 0-5 with a 9.10 ERA, including six starts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm gonna go book my world series tickets now!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!! WE GOT REDDING AND MAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Mussina is the stopper of all stoppers!! No way the Yankees lose today, no way no how!! He's pitching against our recent call up from AAA Sean Douglass too. Douglass was good last week in his first start but you're right, it ought to be intetesting tonight.

GimmeShelter Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Both those guys suck right now. Like Cashman said change for the sake of change. May was able to win in the tough American League Barton but has done nothing in the NL. Redding early in his career showed promise. Right now he's a mess but still young enough to possibly be productive at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormshadow19 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I doubt the pitchers do much... Douglass should be fine tonight. I'm looking foward to Monday's double dip. Justin Verlander makes his Major League debut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
