If the Indians think we're gonna add Hardy or Escobar along with LaPorta and Green, they are nuts. If we could pull off LaPorta, Green, and Axford for Sabathia, I would be fine with that.
Watching the highlights on the Brewers website, I also noticed that Sutton was rather pouty. Is he always like this? Or just against the Brewers? Or maybe he was just in a bad mood tonight.
Prince + the Huntsville Stars Well, I say we go for it then. These chances don't come along often. Just kidding. I guess I underestimated Sizemore's value.
Would it make sense to include Hardy in a deal to acquire Sabathia? I think Escobar could come right in and do a fine job at short. I think if we included Hardy in the deal, then the chances of having to include Gamel or LaPorta decrease.
The idea of losing Gamel - and still missing the playoffs - keeps me up at night. That is my quote from the CC Thread last night around 9:45. I can't tell if you are mocking me - or it is an incredible coincidence that you posted your message directly after mine. Nope, not mocking you. I haven't read the CC thread since yesterday afternoon. But that's kind of funny.
Gamel and LaPorta are precisely the two players most likely to be traded (though perhaps not together). Who did you think the Brewers were going to use to acquire a Sabathia-level talent? It's just a personal preference, but at this point, I'd rather trade Fielder than Gamel or LaPorta.
