    And the benefit of trading him now would be you have teams who are desperate to make the playoffs and might overpay. It works both ways.
  2. Oldcity
    Well, that was about five minutes of excitement. More than I was expecting today, though.
  3. Oldcity
    Yeah, I don't really see the need either. Odd. They could use Ramirez, though.
  4. Oldcity
    If you trade Hart, you HAVE to deal Ramirez, right?
  5. Oldcity
    Oh, please. Awesome.
  6. Oldcity
    It's like they're only willing to make the obvious move (Greinke) but nothing more. Ramirez serves no purpose on this team, as they aren't going anywhere with or without him. The contract after this season becomes a burden. There is no good reason not to trade him.
  7. Oldcity
    I'm not sure the D'Backs would give us Bauer and Skaggs alone for Yo and Hart much less with Upton. Those two will be under financial control for the next six years. I'd do Yo and Hart for Bauer and Skaggs and then take a vacation until the end of the season.

    Well he played yesterday, so I don't think it would be a problem anymore. Seeing these reports of a "thin market" for middle-of-the-order hitters only frustrates me more that the Brewers really aren't considering trading Ramirez or Hart.
  9. Oldcity
    So you'd rather have kept this star player for two months only to lose him for (practically) nothing. Very happy with this. Sounds like three promising players for two months of Greinke. Very nicely done.
  10. Oldcity
    Heh, no problem. Just had myself a moment is all.
  11. Oldcity
    Saying they don't project well for the next three seasons is a bit much. If they hit on this trade, I could see them in contention for 2014.
  12. Oldcity
    So I went to the trade forum, saw this thread wasn't there, and freaked out thinking a deal had been completed.
  13. Oldcity
    It would be frustrating to get Olt only to play him in right when the reports are he's very strong defensively at third. If they get Olt, I don't see any logical solution that doesn't involve trading Ramirez.
  14. Oldcity
    Andrus has rebuffed Texas' attempts to sign him. He has Scott Boras. If they trade for Andrus, they'll be shopping him a year or two from now anyway. Andrus is great, but they should be going for longer-term solutions.

    Thinking about that... I can maybe envision Melvin trying for a Sexson-style trade and trying to grab four or five of those guys rather than just Olt or Perez. Not sure how I'd feel about that, but I suppose you're increasing the likelihood that someone you get pans out.

    And didn't pinch hit for Mench with Jenkins against Dempster with a crucial game on the line.
  17. Oldcity
    Yost definitely didn't bunt as much, I'll give you that, but his bullpen mismanagement was second to none.
  18. Oldcity
    Yost is the worst manager I've ever seen. Not even Roenicke would IBB Howard with Shouse to face Burrell. I'm completely happy with the decision to pull Greinke yesterday. Would have been fine with it an inning earlier. These games mean nothing now. Greinke had already regained his full value. There was nothing left to gain.
  19. Oldcity
    Even BA sounds dejected. I'm just humored at this point.
  20. Oldcity
    Can someone more familiar with Teheran explain why he's so highly rated? His strikeout rate is pretty bad this year, and last year it wasn't very good either. His walk rate is solid, and he's young for his level, so maybe that is the reason?
  21. Oldcity
    For weeks reports have been that the Padres are asking for the moon for Headley. Green wouldn't even get them to stay on the phone.
  22. Oldcity
    Came here to post that. Not good news. Only hope is they see Greinke as giving them a better chance to win this year.
  23. Oldcity
    It definitely can't hurt. Good news.
  24. Oldcity
    It wasn't a discount. They bid against themselves.
  25. Oldcity
    Greinke looking great through six innings. Just what the Brewers needed. Great news--I imagine there will be plenty of interest, starting tonight even.
