I'm a little bored on this off-day, so let me ask a question. If the Twins tank, and decide to trade Hunter, would you trade for him? It'd almost be a move akin to when the Bulls brought in Rodman: the guy on the hated division rival steps in as a great defensive player and brings just enough clutch offense to keep you over the top?

In my best Hawk voice, "Where would he play???"

Bye Bye Brian Anderson.

No.

I doubt they'd be asking for $$, and I wouldn't want to trade them any prospects, so no.

Yes if they threw in Joe Nathan.

 

(I don't believe in teal, people should be able to figure it out)

it obviously depends on the price, but i dont think so

I'm a Rowand fan. Which means I'm an Anderson fan, in a way. Anderson seems to fit in with our squad, and he's got some tools on him. Torii's a good player, but it's just something I couldn't see happening.

If we could get him for a collection of spare parts, then yes. I don't see any real reason to not take Torii Hunter. He's not a very patient hitter, but he's an elite defender and has some decent pop.

 

We'd have to give up something decent to get him though, and it seems unlikely that the Twins would trade him to us. I wouldn't give up anything too valuable to get him.

Getting AJ was like Rodman going to the Bulls.... hated him and then LOVE everything about him.

 

Hunter coming here would be like Starks coming to the Bulls, hated him and continue to HATE him.

 

 

I still have yet to forgive and forget the whole incident with the Josh Paul plowing and saying the Cell didnt deserve to hold an All-Star game. Classless clowndick.

You refuse to forget yet you can't remember properly, it was not Josh paul it was Jaime Burke.

I could have looked it up on google like you just did, but I really didn't feel like it.

I would take Torii Hunter if the price was right...in the sense that he wasn't about to score big $ in FA. But this season, if they want to trade him, that means he's a 1 year rental, and given that, i'll go with B.A. Baracas.

I never googled.

 

I'd know that asshole anywhere.

no, torii is a solid player but costly and we should keep some youth in our system

For a year rental, or half a year, I would do it in a heartbeat. Torii is Kenny and Ozzies type of player, and he is already a gold glover. If Brian Anderson was asked for in exchange, then Torrrrriiii better be signed to a long term deal. But I would do it. :)

As long as Liotta, Lumsden or Sweeney were not involved, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

I view him essentially the same way I viewed AJP when he was on the Twins.

 

Hate him as a Twins player, would love him in a Sox uniform.

 

Plus I am not yet sold as Brian Anderson as the future in CF. I like Anderson, don't get me wrong, but I think Sweeney and Owens both have a chance to overtake him in the future for OF spots.

I hear Gage is rangey out there. Has tools, but all of them suck.

:lol:

Sorry, I would not like to see this. Brian Anderson has great upside and is progressing well I think. If he cuts down on the K's and GO's, we'll be better off. Give him time.

In a heartbeat.

Ide send them Anderson for him thats for sure
