To me its simple. If he is going to be traded. It should be for the creme of the crop top shelf guys. Like a Gomez/or Milledge and Pelfry or a Bucholz package from the Red Cubs or a Kemp package from the Dodgers, or a Saltallamacia package from the Braves. I dont want to see him moved, if its a B prospect and 2 Cs. Take the the picks and allow this to be his fairwell tour. If he is going to sign a deal, then move something else.

 

Gomez is out for a few months. And please, why do people keep saying we should keep the picks? With the way this team drafts, that would be such a waste.

Garcia commanded a starting C, a top prospect and a middle prospect. We figured we'd resign him, but if I remember right, he was a FA at the end of the year. I know Buehrle says he won't extend with a team he's traded to, but I'd like a similar package for Mark.

Garland has more trade value than MB because he's signed through 2008 instead of 2007? Uhhh hellllllllllllllllllllll no.

Uhhh helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll yes.

Punto is making some great picks at 3rd. Of course, it's because he's playing the ball poorly and into some bad hops, but still he's picking it.

 

Uhhh helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll yes.

 

Garland is a righty, hasn't had nearly the career that Buehrle has, and he'll get us that much more because he's signed 1 extra year? Umm

4 hits for the offense against Teen Wolf. Walker must laugh everytime he cashes a check. He comes home, Yes honey, another one. A big fat one this time. Oh what did I do at work today, well I had them hit in the cage, but come on, they got here with their swings. I then drank a beer and passed out. It was a great day.

It was pretty well known Garcia was going to re-sign with us because of his relationship with Ozzie, and IIRC it was only a week or two after the trade that he signed the extension. That was kind of a unique situation though, as it wasn't a rent a player but it wasn't an immediate extension either.

Well, that was the reasoning everyone gave us for why the Rockies got a lot more for Jennings than the Sox did for Garcia.

Buehrle would be a 3 month rental and said he won't sing with the team he's traded to. Garland would be around for 9 months of baseball and would be able to be signed to an extension with that team. Plus, it wouldn't surprise me if more GM's liked Garland better as a pitcher (aside from yesterday).

Garland would dominate the NL, and we would get more for him than Buehrle, unless there is a 72 hour re-sign window.

Isn't it nice to see an actual fielder ou there, and not a piano?

I'm one of the biggest Garland fans on this board, but the only GM's in baseball that like him better than Buehrle are ones who are soon to be and/or should be unemployed. The fact that Garland is signed through 2008 might get him around equal value on the market as Buehrle, but that's it (and that's even a stretch).

I hope your not talking about Terrero. Ford's shoe fell off and it would have been a double otherwise. Did you see how slow Terrero's turn was to get the ball back in?

For the love of f*** he looked retarded catching that out in right.

Why would Garland dominate the NL? That's a pretty blanket statement to make about a low strikeout guy.

should've gotten Ford on that one.

Way to double-clutch AJ. And a nice throw too.

Well, that was the reasoning everyone gave us for why the Rockies got a lot more for Jennings than the Sox did for Garcia.

 

Yeah, and as time has went on we've seen the REAL reason we got what we did for Garcia.

Why is it that Buehrle went years without getting much media love, and now that he's about to be traded, he's one of the greatest lefties in recent times?

Keeps the ball down, Dodger Stadium is more of a pitchers park anyway, an ERA under 4 in the AL is a low 3 in the NL.

So now if a GM likes Garland better then Buehrle they are bad ones? I would bet that there are more GM's that like Garland better then Buehrle... call me crazy, but whatever.

 

Also, Pierzynski has a canon arm....

I'd agree if he went to the NL West. That statement is debateable if he went to the NL East though (other than Florida, who'd never pay him anyways).

 

Great job Mark.

If that's the last we saw of him, it's been a heck of a ride.

good question, and the White Sox will be getting the bad guys media attention in this one, whether it's justified or not, that's up for debate.

If he winds up on the Red Cubs he will become the best left that has ever toed a rubber. Schilling will personally welcome him, and will talk about how they have 5 aces, and that they are a lock to win everygame in the playoffs. ESPN will then talk about how Mark always wanted to be a Red Cub since he was a little boy. ETC ETC ETC

Great job Mark.

Are the Dodgers not in the NL West? That's what I am referring to. He'd be great in the NL.
