Thats not true.

 

The pirates have practically done that-offered to basically give him to a team for a crap spec in return-no team wanted to do it.

Do the yankees need a catcher? No. Have the red sox needed a catcher? No. Have the cardinals needed a catcher? No Have the mets needed a catcher? No. These are the teams i am talking about.

6.?????-1B(I cant see us going with gload-he is like graffanino if u know what i mean, only a bench player, a long long shot i rogowski but if he comes on super strong up until the end of spring training he has a shot)

What he has down in the minors and the majors thus far is worthy of a chance to start imo and many others.

Kendall for Konerko. That's $34 million vs $9.25 Million after the trade clause kicks in for PK. I'd make Pittsburg throw in one of those good young ballplayers they have for us taking all the payroll off their books.

Yes, he is far and away my favorite minor leaguer, I think he is ready to play at the major league level and play well at the major league level. The problem is I doubt the wsox organization would be willing to push him that fast.

weren't we talking about gload?

 

he was up in the majors all last year? Or were we rogowski? i'm confused.

i wouldnt mind eating almost all of kendalls contract if they throw in that setup RP they have.... he is a stud

Really, I mean, I am a big fan of Kendall but konerko for kendall w/ money washing out.

 

 

Konerko is better than kendall even with teh very important fact that kendall is a C.  Borchard & Garland for Kendall and 7 million of his contract per year paid by pittsburgh seems logical and reasonable for both sides.

If we trade Garland and Borchard for Kendall, now we have two holes in the rotation, and now - we have another huge contract on our hands.

 

 

And, leaving the money aspect out of it... Kendall>>>>Konerko.

 

Fact is, we need a more well rounded team, and while it's all well and good that Konerko crushes the ball at home, he's terrible on the road. If we can't win on the road, we won't win.

 

 

I do this deal if, like Cheat said, you can get Pittsburg to eat some off of the backend of the contract.... (and you know, throw in Oliver Perez as well ).

Are you talking about torres???

Maybe Konerko, Garland and Diaz for Oliver Perez and Kendall?

Are you talking about torres???

no im talking about mike gonzalez... i think thats his name.. he has the makings of being good for a long time.

Why?

 

Because we need a 1b man that can beat a snail in a footrace. 

 

Maybe Konerko, Garland and Diaz for Oliver Perez and Kendall? 

I would probally cry if that happened, to be honest with you.

Cry in a good way or in a bad way?

Cry in a good way or in a bad way?

Not in a bad way.

Why would you trade Oliver Perez if you are Pittsburgh? Cash strapped teams don't trade away pitchers who are good and make no money. I've read where the Pirates would consider it in order for someone to swallow Kendall's deal whole, but I don't buy it.

Lol, Perez isnt going anywhere, we are all just dreaming.

 

Although mabye we could get back the Kipper????

LOL, thatd be hillarious if we got wells-kw would look like the ultimate jackass.

Why? He did not trade him away.

Why? He did not trade him away.

Ummmm .... Yes, he did. The Ritchie trade.

Ummmm .... Yes, he did.  The Ritchie trade.

Schueler takes credit for it. I HATED Kip Wells when he was with the Sox.

no im talking about mike gonzalez... i think thats his name.. he has the makings of being good for a long time.

I'd take Torres or Gonzalez. Gonzalez is a stud too IMHO.

Maybe Konerko, Garland and Diaz for Oliver Perez and Kendall?

That's what i was talking about, didn't schueler start the talks with the pirates in the first place. Thought it was basically a done deal by the time kw was hired.

I HATED Kip Wells when he was with the Sox.

Yeah, I hated him a lot at the time, to be honest I thought Kenny made a nice trade at the time-now it symbolizes the worst trade of his general managerial career.

:headshake

That deal was awfully one sided. :puke :headshake

I don't know how you could have possibly thought it was a good trade at the time. It was a ridiculous trade at the time and even worse now that we look back on it.
