How about Garland for Kotsay? 0_o

lol, s***, I forgot about that name, that's another one that was on the Cubs last year until it turned out all the reports were wrong.

Another Xboxish idea....Garland/Crede for Blalock/Wilkerson

 

Pods

Wilkerson

Konerko

Thome

Dye

Blalock

Iguchi

Pierzynski

Uribe

 

Blalock f***ing sucks outside of Texas.

I don't think you can simply because Garland is on the last year of his deal. Plus Griffey hurt his foot at the end of last year, but it was said he could've played after a week if they were in contention which they weren't. It'll be 5 years from now when people start saying he isn't injury prone anymore, and by then he'll be retired and others will be wishing we didn't miss the boat on him.

 

Garland for Griffey or bust. I don't want Pods in CF. I don't want Abreu in CF.

Griffey would cost far too much money for us and he is far too old. That ship sailed at the trade deadline last season when the Reds' ownership nixed the trade.

Jon Garland for Aaron Rowand.

I wouldn't want Griffey, I don't care if it was a little foot injury. If he was so healthy to play after a week then why didn't they let him at least spot start. Even with JG in his last year I am sure there are teams in the playoff hunt hungry to acquire a pitcher.

Jon Garland  for Aaron Rowand.

i can see tomorrows ESPN headlines...

 

Yankees think about Nomar for 1b

 

Chisox acquire Vazquez

hows about jon garland for ron artest

Is there any way that Kenny is looking to deal Garland and Uribe for Tejada?

I still think Garland stays.

 

"We are looking to get better, and we don't want to put ourselves in a position where our first priority is compromised and that's pitching," White Sox GM Kenny Williams told reporters on Tuesday, before word of the deal leaked. "We are not trying to break up anything. We are looking to add to the equation, fortify it, and not anything else.

I doubt it. It seems O's and Tejada have patched things up for now. Also, I think it would take more than that to get Tejada, and I mean ML talent.

No, because Tejada isn't going anywhere.

I still think Garland stays.

right, like I posted earlier, KW hates the World Baseball Classic, and I think he's OK with sticking B-Mac in the minors for another year and using him in spot starts if needed.

I still think Garland stays.

The only thing trading Garland compromises is pitching depth. But maybe your right....I just think K Dub isn't sold on a guy we haven't seen do it yet in the majors in Anderson.

I still think Garland stays.

So keep a rotation of Buehrle, Garcia, Contreras, Garland, and Vazquez and then just let Garland go after 2006 and collect the draft picks? I can see that. But what does McCarthy do in the meantime?

They were in the process of selling their team and wanted to protect all their assets which is why they didn't want to deal Griffey either.

I still think Garland stays.

i dont know whats gonna happen with garland.....

 

that being said... KW also told us not to follow the news because after the marte trade we we're set

 

 

 

RIIIIGHT!

For the record my dad called this, kind of. He called me a few days ago to ask me what the sox traded Hernandez for getting him confused with Damaso.

i just read on cbs.sportsline that it is now el duque for vaz and that would be sweet ass

This is crazy. I kinda like acting like the Yankees or Red Sox and trading for every big name.

 

Let's get to work on Tejada and Griffey after this B)

In this senario....B Mac pitches in key relief spots.... helps bridge the gap to the 9th if we don't get 7 out of the starter, and start whenever a starter is injured (which odds are good will happen to somebody at some point, the main point why we should keep Garland this year if we get Vasquez).

I know. It feels great to finally act like we're the big city team we are and trump the northside in the process.

Where on cbssportsline? Link it.

Where on cbssportsline?  Link it.

he means duque and young for vazquez, thats all that is on cbs.sportsline.com

The more I think about this trade the move I like it. There are teams that are supposed to be competative teams that are scrambling for solid 4th or 5th starters. Now KW has 6 solid starters. He can either stay where he is or hold all the cards in a potential deal.

 

Look at the Cardinals, they made the NLCS last year, and they lost Matt Morris, how do you think their fans feel right now? They would likely give up a ton to get JG.
