Mota's gotta go
Cute Sports (Free subscription) | 07/10/2008
I don't care if it's one of our convenient DL trips or a DFA, but Guillermo Mota is turning into Turnbow the deuce and a move needs to be made. I've been rather happy with Ned of late and that makes last night's choice that much harder to swallow. Nothing about Mota's last 3 outings made me (or anyone but Ned) think that he was the pitcher to put in in a one-run game last night. Heading into last night's...

Haudricourt Suggests Luis Pena
The Wisconsin Sports Bar (Free subscription) | 07/10/2008
Nashville closer Luis Pena has pitched well lately and he is Tom Hardricourt's suggestion to replace Mota. I was checking out his BP profile and comps when I suddenly reached his 12th most comparable player: 12 Guillermo Mota 1999 Of course, in 1999 Mota was really good : 55.33 IP, 2.93 ERA, 153 ERA+, 1.43 WHIP. So that's OK.

Giving Haudricourt Props
The Wisconsin Sports Bar (Free subscription) | 07/10/2008
Asian Badger pointed this out in the comments, but if you haven't read it , you need to: I'm guessing we'll be hearing tomorrow that Guillermo Mota has been designated for assignment. Yes, the move is long overdue, but enough is enough. After giving up four runs tonight in one inning, he has allowed eight runs in three innings in four July appearances. And that's after a 6.48 ERA in nine July outings....

If Hanley Ramirez Played In Boston He'd Lead Every Sportscenter
Rumors and Rants (Free subscription) | 07/02/2008
It's fair to say this trade worked out nicely for both sides, but let's see how the Marlins snagged Hanley Ramirez: Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell and Guillermo Mota to the Red Sox for Ramirez, Anibal Sanchez and a couple minor league guys. Sanchez, for his part, threw a no-hitter in 2006 as a 22-year old but has been injury prone since. Lowell was seen as a throw-in at the time but has taken his pull-happy...

Beale Street Beat (Free subscription) | 06/13/2008

Rockies Charge Back to Beat Brewers
The Bucky Channel (Free subscription) | 06/07/2008
Oh, Guillermo Mota. You've really turned into one of my favorite Brewers, with our flamboyant flare after you get out of an inning. But there's a couple of things I'd wish you'd do differently. First off, it's time to get ride of that Mets glove. If you're going to wear the blue glove, let's invest in a little darker shade to match your current team. Second, you can't give up four runs in an inning...

Eric Gagne has a shoulder problem?
The Sports Idiot (Free subscription) | 05/21/2008
There is a reason why I would never recommend that you draft, or trade for, Eric Gagne. The oft injured right hander is experiencing stiffness in his throwing shoulder, and with Guillermo Mota and Salomon Torres both waiting in the wings, the BrewCrew would be dumb to risk further injuring the former Cy Young winner.

Dodgers rally past Brewers
San Diego Union (Free subscription) | 05/15/2008
Eric Gagne got another view of a blown save – from the bench. Juan Pierre hit a go-ahead, two-run double in the ninth inning off Guillermo Mota, and the Dodgers overcame a three-run deficit to beat host Milwaukee 6-4 last night and stop a season-high five-game losing streak.
