You gotta be fistf***ing me.

 

Still at the doctor's?

Whaaaa? Cabrera is pretty decent, but since when is that ALL you can get for a veteran middle-of-the-rotation pitcher??? Geez, if they wanted to dump Garland's salary, at least wait until June or July, when you could force a bidding war.

 

The only possible rationale I can see is that there is something wrong with Jon's shoulder that we don't know about. Other than that, this is really bad.

The Sox just acquired Royce Clayton again. ... Do you think KW thought he was getting Miguel Cabrera?

 

LOL

 

It's entirely possible. Wouldn't be a first!

Because 4th place just wasn't bad enough last year...

At least both Cabreras are spelled the same.

Wow, this is f****** stupid. We could not get Aybar at least? We could have traded Garland for Renteria but we got Cabrera woo hoooooooooooo

All I can do is laugh.

Ask Colorado on the haul they got for Jason Jennings in the same situation.

 

We get a 33 year old SS. We are the Chicago Giants.

 

 

wtf is this?

Cabrera is also a free agent after this upcoming season.

Just heard it on the Score as well. This is absolutely ridiculous.

 

In what world is this a good trade?

 

So Wood's back to short?

 

Cabrera deal in works? Kendrick to Marlins. Figgins to second.

 

This could be a dramatically revamped team in 2008.

 

I. Don't. Like. It. Especially this deal. Cabrera leaves after 2008 but living in Chicago, I've watched Garland his whole career. This is the definition of an mediocre pitcher.

Thanks for the kick in the balls.

The definition of a good trade is one both fanbases hate.

Something has to be wrong with Jon's shoulder. This just makes zero sense otherwise.

Do we happen to know whether he'd be in the "Type A" group of players?

Uh we just filled one hole and opening another. Usually those trades are kinda of dumb. We all know we needed a SS upgrade but at the expense of a huge hole in the rotation. WTF.

Cabrera is also a free agent after this upcoming season.

 

Draft picks, right?

 

 

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

If Kenny deals one more pitcher who gets injured shortly thereafter, he'll deserve to be fired. It's a violation of a cardinal rule among GMs that you're open about things like that and it's a bulls*** thing to do.

 

Besides, you seem to think KW is beyond simply making terrible stupid ridiculous laughable decisions.

We are saving lets say 4-5 million bucks if not more, but for what?

Cabrera is also a free agent after this upcoming season.

 

Well he is right about that Garland is definatly the definition of a mediorce. He will always be 12-12 with a 4.4 ERA.

There must be another deal in the works. I can't accept that this is kenny's big move.

 

A 33 year old shortstop. My God, let's just sign Torii already and become the SF Giants.

Hunter?

From this perspective the deal should be a win. Garland was a type B for '06/'07 while Cabrera was a type A. So if Orlando Cabrera matches his production from '06 or '07 he'll be a type A free agent while Garland will have to have a pretty big year in order to move up in the grading (he wasn't all that close to being a type A.)

 

So if I had to guess, Garland will be a type B and Cabrera will be a type A. But then you have to ask yourself; will a team be willing to surrender a 1st round pick for a 34 year old Cabrera?

The Tribune says the Halos are throwing in some cash.

CASH!!!! Then we did win.
