Paisano has dominated the late season but hasn't played well in the first half. He could be the reverse of Hank Blalock with less power.Grant Schillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297866011498046377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20351809.post-1167869947794979772007-01-03T18:19:00.000-06:002007-01-03T18:19:00.000-06:00Excellent blog Grant - I think you made more info ...Excellent blog Grant - I think you made more info on Paisano available than I've seen from anywhere. And, as explained below, he may be the most interesting part of the trade for me. I hate to see Danks and Masset go, but I think it's still very possible the Rangers get the better end of this trade.<BR/><BR/>One thing I haven't seen anyone say about this trade (and I'm sure someone has - I just haven't seen it) is that 5 or 10 years down the road it's possible that Daniels managing to get Paisano as an add-on becomes the key to the Rangers getting the better end of this trade. Paisano seems like a virtual unknown to everybody that I've seen write about this trade (even more so than Rasner). There is a chance McCarthy for Danks-Masset-Rasner could be a wash. It could very well end up being something like a 2nd starter for 2nd starter or a 2nd starter for a 3rd starter plus a service reliever.<BR/><BR/>But if Paisano were to become an everyday major leaguer this trade would VERY likely go the Rangers way (in my opinion at least). Am I saying that he will? No - you absolutely never know and he seems to be more unknown than most. But I trust Daniels and his scouts enough to think they thought getting him added could be a key to the trade - and it just might.<BR/><BR/>Just my 2 cents.<BR/>GO RANGERS!<BR/>KenKen Pittmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073007524692100158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20351809.post-1167782607888255522007-01-02T18:03:00.000-06:002007-01-02T18:03:00.000-06:00Hi Brian,Sorry for deleting your comment.
