Rodriguez may be PTBNL in Kazmir deal
Source (fanball.com)
(SP - ana) | 0 comments.
According to the Twitter page of DRaysBay.com, there are rumors circulating that Sean Rodriguez will be the player to be named later in the Scott Kazmir deal. Rodriguez is hitting .301 with 29 homers and 93 RBI for the Angels' Triple-A affiliate this season.
Our View: If Rodriguez does turn out to be the PTBNL, it would be a pretty nice haul for the Rays in return for Kaz. Rodriguez has been tearing up Triple-A pitching this season, and it is rare that the third player in a trade like this possesses the upside that Rodriguez does. When something is confirmed, we will let you know.

He has a 3.14 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP with 32 punchouts in 28 2/3 career innings at Safeco, so he should be a fine starting option in his first game with the Halos. Considering he's made three straight quality starts, posting a 21/6 K/BB ratio in 19 2/3 innings in the process, there's no reason to sit him on Sept. 2.

Scott Kazmir will make his first start for the Angels this Wednesday against the Mariners, according to MLB.com.
Our View: Kazmir was tagged for seven runs in just 4.1 innings in his only start against the Mariners earlier this season, and it's hard to know just which Kazmir could show up Wednesday: the pitcher who was routinely shelled through the first four and a half months of the season, or the pitcher who has surrendered just seven runs in his past 19.2 innings.

Angels general manager Tony Reagins said Kazmir will join the
Angels general manager Tony Reagins said Kazmir will join the team "real soon," but the GM declined to say when he will make his first start with the club. Reagins also said the Angels were interested in Kazmir because he's still young and has the potential to bounce back after struggling a bit this season to the tune of an 8-7 record with a 5.92 ERA in 20 starts. One source of those struggles is that Kazmir has seen his average velocity on his fastball go from 92.1 mph two years ago to 90.7 mph this season. But Reagins was encouraged by Kazmir's last start, when he reached 95 mph in the sixth inning against the Blue Jays on Wednesday in a game where he struck out 10 batters. Kazmir joins John Lackey, Joe Saunders, Jered Weaver and Ervin Santana in the rotation.

News: Scott Kazmir was traded from the Rays to the Angels on Friday night, giving the AL West leaders a major boost to their unsteady rotation. The Angels acquired Kazmir, a two-time All-Star, for two minor leaguers and a player to be named. Tampa Bay receives left-hander Alex Torres and third baseman Matt Sweeney in the deal. Because he was dealt before Aug. 31, Kazmir is eligible for postseason play with Los Angeles. He had to clear waivers to be traded at this point in the season. The move came as a bit of a surprise because the 25-year-old Kazmir was a key part of a talented young core that helped Tampa Bay go from perennial losers to pennant winners last year. But the trade provides salary relief for the cost-conscious Rays, who have several important budget decisions to make soon. [...]

The Tampa Bay Rays were likely going to shop Scott Kazmir this winter, so his trade to the Los Angeles Angels is simply a matter of moving sooner rather than later, especially because Kazmir has pitched to an ERA near 6.00 this year. The trade gets the Rays out from under almost $25 million due a pitcher showing continued signs of regression.

Kaz suffered a setback in a big way Sunday by allowing seven
Kaz suffered a setback in a big way Sunday by allowing seven earned runs for the fourth time in '09. It's alarming that he struggled against an average-hitting club in a pitcher-friendly park, so he's to be viewed with a skeptical eye moving forward. Don't be surprised if he gets hammered Aug. 15 at home vs. a powerful Blue Jays lineup.

Kazmir roughed up by Mariners

News: Rays SP Scott Kazmir continued to look like anything but Tampa Bay's pitching star of 2008, getting rocked by the Mariners on Sunday in an 11-2 loss. "Kazmir just had a tough time today," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "He was throwing the ball in bad spots ... and they pretty much beat us up." The 2008 All-Star and starting pitcher in Game 1 of last fall's World Series lasted just 4 1/3 innings, his shortest outing since he returned in late May from missing a month with a strained quadriceps. He allowed nine hits and seven runs, increasing his ERA to 6.50. [...]

Scott Kazmir was lit up for seven earned runs on nine hits over a mere 4.1 innings in Sunday's 11-2 loss at Seattle. He had two walks and three strikeouts.
Our View: Kazmir had a nightmarish outing, and now has a losing record at 6-7. That marks the seventh time this season that he allowed six or more earned runs, and hopefully he will be more consistent down the stretch for fantasy owners.

Scott Kazmir earned his sixth win of the season on Monday afternoon as the Rays defeated the Royals by a score of 10-4. Kazmir went six innings and allowed three runs and six hits while walking one and striking out five.
Our View: Another nice outing for Kaz today, and it is starting to look like he has put his early season struggles behind him. Fantasy owners should keep running him out there while he is pitching well, and it for any reason he is available in your league you should give him a good hard look.
