Stanton moved... whoop de doo... 7/28 trade

Giants trade: Shairon Martis

Nats trade: Mike Stanton

Stanton is old... 40 years old in fact. His idol is Jesse Orosco the god of left handed one out guys. Unfortunately Stanton has already beginning to succumb to the treacherous beast of time as he no longer is the dominant setup guy he was in times of yore. Instead he is a slightly below average lefty one outer who will only get worse as time goes by.

Shairon Martis on the other hand is a decent prospect who although not doing great this year still is showing quite a bit of promise striking out 66 batters in his 76 innings of work and maintaining a 3.62 ERA.

Final Verdict

San Francisco - 2.5 Riley points - well they accomplished their goal of getting older...

Nats - 9 Riley points - sure Martis might never throw a pitch in the major leagues but whenever you can trade a scrub for potential you do it.
