The Cubs give up Zambrano, shortstop Neifi Perez, center fielder Corey Patterson, left-hander Will Ohman (expendable with Scott Eyre and Glendon Rusch available for the bullpen) and one of two on-the-cusp pitching prospects, either left-hander Rich Hill or right-hander Angel Guzman. They get Tejada and as many as five prospects who could fill needs in the near future--a pitcher (Hayden Penn, John Maine or Adam Loewen), two outfielders (Joe Borchard and one among the Baltimore group of Val Majewski, Jeff Florentino and Nick Markakis), first baseman Casey Rogowski and left-hander Arnie Munoz.

 

The Sox give up one arm from the Garland/Contreras/Garcia/Vazquez mix and four prospects who aren't being penciled in for big things--Borchard, Rogowski (a really good hitter who doesn't fit on a team that has Konerko and Thome), Munoz and Charles Haeger, a knuckleballer who pitched well in Venezuela after dominating Double A. They get back Bedard, a lefty with great stuff; Ohman, who fills the bullpen need and could allow Neal Cotts to move into the rotation in 2007; and either Hill or Guzman.

 

The Orioles wind up with the most inventory, as they should. They get Zambrano and Garland, Contreras, Garcia or Vazquez along with Perez, Patterson and Haeger. They give up Tejada, Bedard and a pitching prospect.

Like thats going to happen.

That gave me a headache.

Apparently Chicago police aren't cracking down enough on crack sales in Chicago...

you're gonna see scott boras as a special consultant to mr. reinsdorf before this trade happens.

Although, if the Cubs keep Rusch in the bullpen I was interested in Will Ohman before. He seems like he could be a good second lefty. The Cubs wouldn't need him with Rusch and Eyre already in their bullpen.

When did Phil Rogers become the GM of the Baltimore Orioles?

Jesus Christ Phil...try some decaf ya crackhead!!! That was ridiculous...but if it went down...I'd be ok with it...after the initial shock that some GMs went to this extent.

That was the worst trade proposal of the modern era.

I hereby apologize to everyone on this board who has proposed what I thought was an unrealistic trade. This guy gets paid for a living and came up with this.

That column started my head to spinning. Wow.

It is not even 8 am, and I feel like I need a drink after reading that. Merry Christmas!

Too many names/people involve. Its hard enough for the GMs to agree on 1-1 player swap but this trade proposal is just plain crazy.

There's so many names involved that KW would get confused and somehow get outsmarted by Billy Beane.

Or wind up with the wrong Dodger outfielder again.

Another hilarious article. Is this guy seriously drunk? or does he think it is April 1st?

 

The Sox give up one SP (Garland/Contreras/Garcia/Vazquez), four prospects (Borchard, Rogowski, Munoz, and Charles Haeger), and they only get back Bedard, Ohman, and either Hill or Guzman. Riggghhhttt.

 

Normally anything that is posted has to go thru an editor, so I guess he slipped this by them:

 

Take a breath, because he we go.

I see Phil Rogers is still playing MVP Baseball on his Xbox.

I think Phil needs to lay off the egg nog. No way in the world that trade would happen. The Sox would be giving up way too much for Bedard and a mediocre pitcher in Ohmen.

If this trade goes down like this (very unlikely BTW) KW will go back to being the village idiot. No way anyone with half a brain makes a trade like this.

I couldn't even finish it and its only a half a page long

Who in the world would want Neifi Perez? That's like suggesting Timo as part of a package for a great player.

Apparently Chicago police aren't cracking down enough on crack sales in Chicago...

I can vouch...

I have it under good authority that he came up with this article after the Chicago Tribune Christmas party.

It sure makes it easier to play with 'Fair Trades" marked OFF. Ha.
