I agree with Andy.
1. Delgado is damn good. Might as well consider him a 94 since Mogul heavily weights power for corner players and he still actually hits for power, just not in home runs. If this were someone like Dan Frost, who gets much more hype and talk, and I think DET would be giving up way more. However, even though Frost looks more appealing vital-wise, Delgado smokes him in the XBH/150 G department 57 to 46. Delgado owns a career .371 wOBA while Frost's is at just .340. And for our file, Delgado is very good defensively in RF.
2. MacMurrich has done well so far, but it's a small sample size. Even if he continues to hit, he's not that good defensively. In fact, his vitals are probably a little below average (going off of the averages I did years back, they are).
3. Why another 2B? Ryan is definitely allowed to do what he pleases, but it's concerning when at the beginning of the season hardly anyone is available and then now, seemingly in panic mode, everyone is available, yet MIL is still trying to compete? Dealing away great talent isn't going to help a WS run.
4. Back when Ryan initially said he was looking for a 2B upgrade, I mentioned a MacMurrich for Hillyer swap since it met both team's needs. Whether there's mutual interest or not, isn't the point. The point is it would have been a fair swap. I don't know who would think you can basically swap Delgado for Hillyer and think it's a good deal.
