The First-Ever BF.net, "Pick the Reliever" Contest - Win Tickets to Brewers-Mets

[splitterpfj]

OK, the prize is two terrace level seats to the Brewers-Mets game of September 3rd. (This is a Wednesday afternoon game)

 

The Brewers are targeting pitching help as we head toward the trade deadline, tell me:

 

Who will the Brewers trade for, and who will they give up.

If your answer is incomplete, it will be disqualified...I need to know who the Brewers will give in the trade, as the tiebreaker.

 

Please refrain from giving advice, editorializing, etc, in this thread.

 

THANK YOU to ELCABALLO45 for generously donating the tickets for this contest!

Mike Gonzalez for Brad Nelson

[JumpinMacFlash]

Damaso Marte for Lorenzo Cain and David Welch.

[yoshii8]

I'll go w/ Jon Rauch for Cole Gillespie and Chad Robinson

[dadofandrew]

Both of those are too light...Marte is worth two picks after the year, far better than that pair. Gonzalez is worth far more than Nelson.

 

I'm not sure who to say the Crew will target, but they will need to offer up some legit prospects, unless they add just a serviceable arm who is overpaid or going through a rough stretch.

[Brewer Fever]

I think they'll target one of the following...

 

Eddie Guardado

Damaso Marte

Ron Mahay

Will Ohman

 

Forced to pick the one they'll get, I'll go with Ron Mahay.

 

Mahay for Hernan Iribarren + Robert Hinton

[dadofandrew]

Dave Weathers for Cain (or Hurricane, or that type).

 

Maybe Chad Bradford.

[brettac1]

I will go with Rauch, too.

 

Gillespie and Salome to Washington.

[razzzorsharp]

Heath Bell for ???

[And That]

Heath Bell for Gwynn, Seidel and Crabbe

[ILuvDaBush]

Rauch for Nelson/Braddock/Pena

 

2 years left at about $5mil... Good value.

[dadofandrew]

If DC wanted Weeks for Cordero, no way is that group nearly enough for Rauch...probably looking at a top 5 guy plus Braddock, at least.

[DHonks]

I'll say Yovani Gallardo is the huge bullpen acquisition in mid-August

[LouisEly]

Matt Herges for PTBNL which becomes Errecart. Herges' home/road and day/night splits are very equal; oddly more effective against leftys than righties in his three year splits. Herges has put up some good numbers in Coors.

 

And That - shouldn't your post be in blue (at least the Crabbe part)? I would love Bell, but I think it will take more than those three.

 

If WAS will take Nelson, Braddock, and Pena for Rausch I'd do that in a heartbeat.

[giffted1]

Eddie Guardado from Texas for Chris Errecart and Donovan Hand.

[valpocrewsader]

Scott Downs. We'd have him and Riske through 2010.

[shelmark]

Nothing original here, but I think it will be Street in the end....for Gillespie, Braddock, and Pena.

[fondybrewfan]

Joakim Soria for Gwynn, Gillespie, and Seidel

[bjkrautk]

George Sherill (BAL) for Brad Nelson

[YostInfection]

Rauch for Cain and Braddock

[saget]

Ron Mahay(KC) for Brad Nelson, Tim Dillard and Josh Wahpepah

[RightFieldCoder]

I'll go out on a limb and say the Brewers get nobody for their bullpen.

[berniebrewer4life]

Street for Crabbe, Pena and Braddock.

[TSack27]

Looks Brian Fuentes is still open. I'm thinking that one would need to include someone from the major league roster (borderline)... think they'd bite on a Mota/Turnbow package? OK, how about Mark DeFelice or Tony Gywnn Jr then?

[InsomniacInkRoss]

There is a guy on the Sox name Scott Linebrink, pretty good, got a 2.37 ERA with a 32/6 K/BB ration

 

I figure we will have to give up Jeffress, Braddock, and Frederickson to get him, but he's a lock to help!
