Subtraction By Addition
ESPN reports that the Nationals have traded for Preston Wilson, giving up Zach Day, J.J. Davis, AND a player to be named later or cash.
Is Jim Bowden even aware of the Coors Field effect? Did he, or anyone in the organization, even bother to check Wilson's home/road splits? Just in case Mr. Bowden is an avid reader of Brave-O-Matic (hey, it's possible -- we're getting upwards of 30 hits a day!), here they are (also available at about 18,000 other places on the web):
2005
Home -- .281/.350/.544
Road -- .224/.280/.411
2004
Home -- .255/.321/.402
Road -- .240/.309/.380
2003
Home -- .302/.370/.591
Road -- .260/.316/.479
This trade seems roughly equivalent to our trading Ryan Langerhans, Horacio Ramirez, and a player to be named, and receiving Ryan Langerhans in return.
To be fair, injuries have played a big part in Wilson's effectiveness, and the players the Nats gave up aren't exactly top prospects, though Day has had his moments. Still, if this is their idea of girding for battle, then gird away, sirs!
