    I think people are thinking between McGehee/Green, we better move Gamel to first when Prince leaves. I don't really agree with this on a few different levels.
  2. Hate those Rodents
    Depends if you see Heether as having some sort of a decent MLB future. And if you really think Gamel is Prince's heir (which will only happen if he can't cut it at third imho).

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/06/jonathan-sanchezs-value-dropping.html#comments Someone mentioned offering Katin/Heether to the Giants to try and get him. Not sure if that'd work, but it'd be nice to try that and see what happened.

    Yep, I think the opportunity to trade Hardy for Bucholtz is probably done. And I say that realizing many still wouldn't do the trade on this forum. At this point, we are probably only looking at a rental, and I am not convinced Bedard will be as cheap as some are insinuating. But I am wrong my share of the time.

    Thinking out loud here, what worries me is if Jack does the deal for a foursome of, say, Brewer/Salome/Gillespie/Periard. He buys low on Salome and Gillespie and gets two others that most of us are not thinking a lot about. Maybe something else comes our way with Bedard, but I really worry about trading with the guy, who undoubtedly will look to stockpile any underachieving talent we have that he feels/knows will break out.

    I have a feeling JasonZ would fleece us a bit, knowing we're desperate for a good starting arm. I also feel he knows of nuggets in our system that Doug might not be as high on. I don't know. I just really would be skeptical about giving up prospects for a rental to Seattle. I think it could look really bad in 2-3 years. I think he might be able to land a more productive collection of MLB talent than Cleveland will out of the CC trade. But that's just me...

    http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9688414/Red-Sox-reliever-drawing-interest-from-several-teams Bad news imho, that we might be focusing on a rental in Bedard. Also talk of Hardy and Escobar interest and talk on the dilemna we've all hashed out about that.

    It looks like Clay is very frustrated with his situation and almost is asking to be traded in this new interview... http://hackswithhaggs.com/2009/06/15/buchholz-willing-to-go-elsewhere-to-pitch-in-the-big-leagues.aspx
  9. Hate those Rodents
    I think we should focus on getting Cain (or Sanchez if he's not too expensive to trade for) and focus our energy with San Fran since Peavy is likely not an option now.
  10. Hate those Rodents
    At this point, why not just get Washburn. Makes so much sense to me on a number of different levels...
  11. Hate those Rodents
    Would people here do Hardy/Hart/Parra for Cain and Winn? I probably would but that almost seems like too big of a deal to do during the season.
  12. Hate those Rodents
    I'd love to get Cain, but wouldn't mind Sanchez/Winn either.
  13. Hate those Rodents
    Might it be with the Rays, who may be about to sign Pedro Martinez? It would seem they might be able to deal a starter to us... Just thinking out loud here.
  14. Hate those Rodents
    Maybe I convinced Doug to do the Buchholtz trade for JJ? Doubt it...
  15. Hate those Rodents
    I agree Ry, I'd much rather give a little more and land Peavy. We have some names that have been thrown around our way, does antone know what the bait we are offering/sending is?
  16. Hate those Rodents
    Well, if he walks, we'd get a first and a sandwich pick as well, unless the Yankees choose to spend a half a billion again next off-season.
  17. Hate those Rodents
    Taylor Bucholtz for JJ Hardy. Do it now!
  18. Hate those Rodents
    I will take that bet all day Ry, not saying you'll be wrong for certain. But I will put even money on that an a lot of it.
  19. Hate those Rodents
    Yep, if you are looking to AAA for someone, cross your fingers that Nick Green continues to improve during the second half of the season. Or else that Cody does well right away or better yet, Cappy gets healthy in a hurry.
  20. Hate those Rodents
    I am not calling JJ a bad player. I do think his 2007 first half was extaordinary, propelling him to the all star game. I personally would categorize him as an abover average shortstop, maybe even top ten, despite his first 2+ months this year. I personally would not label him as an "all-star shortstop" because to me that implies that the guy is a perennial participant in the game. He has not been to this point and I don't think he will be a guy you'll see there consistently. I hope he gets back there. But I'd put "above average shortstop" JJ Hardy as opposed to "All Star shortstop" JJ Hardy when talking about the guy. Just my take, not saying I'm right here... Also, Escobar has not yet peaked, so to think that he'll automatically start hitting below .300 or whatever "cooling down" means, well, I am just not so sure. He's definitely not playing above his potential based on his numbers he has this year. And his numbers are very good. But his ceiling is even higher than his current years' numbers suggest.
  21. Hate those Rodents
    Sometimes it's good not to draft the in-state guys due to the pressure maybe. It seems rare we pick the best ones any given year.
  22. Hate those Rodents
    Who was that kid from a Wisconsin HS (James or Jones maybe???) that was supposed to go top five rounds? Would he be a good pick and are we looking at him?
  23. Hate those Rodents
    I think the chances of CB being a bust are about the same as JJ Hardy hitting under .230 this year with few home runs. Highly unlikely...
  24. Hate those Rodents
    I am not sure why we are calling him an All Star SS. He kind of loses that luster by hitting under .230 with very few home runs as well. Not trying to drag him through the mud, but I just think the rose-colored glasses some wear when Hardy's name is mentioned might need to come off pretty soon. And the bottom line should ALWAYS be, if your team can get better, you make the trade. Forget about what standard protocal has been in the past. If the team can improve, the team should do what is can to improve (within financial reason).

    Escobar was 3-5 tonight with a triple, homerun, and 3 RBI in a Nashville win...
