Trade Talk in full swing

Last year Ken Williams brought in Carl Everett and Roberto Alomar before the trading deadline. The Twins added Shannon Stewart around the all-star break so there's no use in saying that the White Sox won't pull off a trade soon. To fill in the back end of the rotation (#5 starter no wins since 2002) it looks like the sox will add Freddy Garcia. Also Mark Teixera is on the trade block for pitching. If Ken Williams somehow manages to pry Darrin Erstad from the Angels try to get Dallas McPherson who scouts say could be a 40 home run hitter. Also the Cubs are interested in getting Omar Vizquel and/or Brett Boone but who cares: :fthecubs

I've been here for a couple of weeks you guys always talk about getting a left-handed bat. Look at most of the trade talk threads I say something in each one. Here are some people in my post that you haven't mentioned since I joined

Teixera

and McPherson

everytime you mention Erstad I think to myself there is no way the Angels sitting in first place will trade him. Garcia is actually been talked about for a while and luckily for the Sox the fact is that the Mariners would be happy with Borchard and some other prospect. However I wouldn't even suggest getting Garcia look at his road ERA he pitches in a pitcher's paradise in SAFECO Park. Don't give me the crap of a proven starter and he can beat the Yanks tired of hearing it. What the SOx need is a starter who can beat the AL West (remember 2000). But if I was Ken Williams I would wait to see what actually is gonna happen in the NL East. Montreal is falling behind but their workhorse pitcher Livan Hernandez or Ohka. Ohka is 3-0 with 1.85 ERA in the last 30 days. If WIlliams doesn't want to wait and pulls the deal on Garcia who's been struggling as of the last few years then that would just plain suck. Ohka or Hernandez either one is doing great. Ohka needs run support and with the Sox's explosive lineup I'm sure he'll find that here. I actually heard that Cliff Lee is on Ken Williams' wish list. He's young and he's doing good right now and will be for a long time.

Yeah, Teixieria isn't on the block. He's only part of the future of the Rangers. And Darin Erstad is making $8 mill a year. Unless they take Paulie and we do get McPherson, that isn't happening either.

 

Get an ace, and I'll be happy. Steve Finley and Randall Simon would be OK too, but aren't necessities.

I ask you who is A-Rod's agent?

Scott Boras

Who is Chan Ho Park(the pitcher that Texas wants to get rid of)'s agent?

Scott Boras

Who is Todd Van Poppel's agent?

Scott Boras

Who is Mark Teixera's agent?

Scott Boras

The Rangers want to rid themselves of all of Boras' players. Also Teixera didn't sign a long-term deal so he's not technically the young ranger. Teixeira is potentially a great hitter, but the Rangers know they need good starting pitching, and Teixeira is thier most tradable player.
