No way would Garland be given up for just Scott. Something like Lidge, Scott, and at least a decent prospect would be worth consideration.

I would love to get Luke Scott. He is better defensively then Mack, plus he's a better hitter as well.

no.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 7, 2007 -> 03:57 PM) Renteria is also making more than double what we signed Juan for. he's also double the baseball player...

Plus, even though he isn't in great shape, he ain't a base clogger.

I'd gladly take Lidge on this team. I still don't have full confidence in Jenks being the closer. I mean he can handle being the closer, but his consistent velocity drops and the fact that he has a screw in his arm scare me.

I don't understand all this dislike for Richar... From what I saw in his two months of play, he can make a good everyday player. He plays a very good 2B from what I saw, has some good pop, and while he won't walk a ton, he can still take one. I think I could see something like a .270/.330/.440 line out of Richar, if not better. Plus, he has some speed. Of course we need a platoon player for him, but I'd much rather have someone like Mark Loretta rather then Uribe.

Could we really have not match Detroit's offer for Renteria? We probably could, but it would mean us taking on Renteria's contracts and lord knows we can't afford an extra 6 million or something for Renteria.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Nov 7, 2007 -> 03:26 PM) Levine just stated that the White Sox are going to throw everything economically possible at Torii Hunter. Levine also said Uribe is likely done as a White "Sock", and he has said a whole lot more stuff that turned out to be a whole lotta BS.

4.5 million is too much for Uribe.

HUNTER PENCE!!*$&(#*#$&$

We need to get a 3-way deal going, involving at least one of Garland, Contreras, and/or Crede. Brian Anderson, Gio Gonzalez, Chris Carter, and perhaps another spect, depending on who we get back for Crede/Contreras/Garland. Would that work?

QUOTE(TLAK @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) I've always liked Eckstein as a player but I believe in the saying "Old shortstops never win". The Eck is going to be 33 next year. The last shortstop on a WS champion who was that old was Larry Bowa in 1980 at age 35. Next was Maury Wills at 33 in 1965. The SS is traditionally the best athlete on the team, if David Eckstien at 33 is your best athlete, you are in trouble. We might as well call up that 16 year old we signed then...

Three way deal involving Garland go to the dodgers for a prospect(s), Cabrera coming here, and all of our top prospects going to florida... oh yeah! Also, hopefully Ozzie's influence on Cabrera could make him get into decent shape.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 04:16 PM) I honestly dont like Youk getting one. agreed.

CoD4 looks awesome. Cannot wait until Wednesday when I go and get it.

We couldn't get Bill Hall for Jon Garland? I don't know what you've been smoking, or what Jon Garland did to you to make his trade value so low...

If the Dodgers get ARod, I think Furcal will be practically given away as the Dodgers would be looking to unload some salary.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Nov 5, 2007 -> 09:23 PM) KW actually went after Stewart last year, but didn't want to give him $1 million. well, Stewart had a pretty decent season last year and probably could make at least 3-4 million this season, probably more.

I wouldn't hate a platoon in LF of Owens and Stewart... wouldn't love it either.

have him play the dave roberts role of the 04 Red Sox...

I've calmed down a bit, and wouldn't hate the idea of Hunter, but if he wants 5 years and 75 million guaranteed, forget about it.

I hear Jessica Alba is going to be naked in he newest movie that is coming out soon (forgot the name of it)... I've been waiting for this moment for the longest time. Now Scarlet Johanson has to follow as well as Eva Longoria.

Yankee fans thoughts on a possible trade... http://forums.nyyfans.com/showthread.php?t=107567

I like Lucy. Plays very good defensively, and I'd be nice to see him put together a very good offensive year at Charlotte in 08. He probably won't be anything more then a backup, but hopefully he can be able to hit lefties decently so he could make a nice platoon option at least.
