In 2009, Carlos Carrasco, Michael Taylor,Jason Donald, Kyle Drabek, Lou Marson, and JA Happ(who'll presumably be going to HOU for Oswalt) were all ranked higher than Domonic Brown and then sent away for Lee/Halladay. I understand your point of how deep Philadelphia's farm is, but to suggest they orchestrated these great deals while retaining their best prospect(Brown) isn't exactly true. The Phillies have paid a great deal, for what'll be one of the best one-two in the NL of Halladay/Oswalt. What if they could've retained Lee too? Unbelieveable. Halladay-Lee-Oswalt.

 

And to the poster suggesting we could trade for Werth and Happ. Happ is most definitely going to HOU and I can't see them trading Werth while Victorino is out.

 

didn't he shoot JFK?

Two of those names did. Haha.

The Phillies really f***ed up by trading Lee. I thought it was dumb in the first place, and last time I checked, the players they got back haven't been doing much either.

52 hours. Can't wait until it's over.

RAJ is Mr. Magoo if the Astros take that bad package and send over a significant chunk of money.

#WhiteSox exploring hitters other than Dunn, not all LH. Are "all over the place," source says. Also looking for mid-rotation starter. #MLB

Rosenthal must be reading this site.

Makes perfect sense. Why wait for the Nats price to come down. Be proactive and get another hitter. I like the mid-rotation starter. The Sox need someone to be a solid #4, as Freddy has thrown a lot of pitches this yr.

I would love Brett Myers for a mid-rotation starter.

The Astros have been unwilling to trade Myers.

I'm not going to pretend that there are no bad guys on the White Sox, but I just wouldn't be able to get past Brett Myers being on this team. I mean, he beat the s*** out of his wife in public.

Does the Astros willingness to part with Oswalt suggest that they might be more likely to part with Berkman too?

I don't think the Astros' willingness to part with him has been the issue. The problem is that he wants his $15 million option for next year picked up if traded, not to mention that he is kinda injured, old, and bad this year.

You got your years mixed up. Going into 2009, Brown was ranked by BA as their #1 prospect. You're thinking 2008.

It's one of my all time stupid baseball moves, along with the Rays drafting Tim Beckham.

All time? Either you have a list of like 700 stupid baseball moves or you're slightly exaggerating.

All time in past 3 years*

That's a liberal use of the phrase "all time"

All time in past 3 years*

 

When Kanye said Beyonce had one of the best videos of *all-time*, he really just meant all time in the past three years.

Dan Bernstein said from his source, the Sox have a lot of scenarios and Adam Dunn is not the only big name linked with the White Sox.

As they should. You can't put all your fruit in one basket.

This is trader Kenny we're talking about. If there's a player in the big leagues he doesn't know the price for, I'd be shocked.

Here's what probably happened. Bernstein read on MLB Trade Rumors that the Sox are "all over the place". He then called or texted (sexted!) somebody he knows at the Sox and confirmed it, and then he passed this off as if he was breaking some news on his own.

They did mention Rosenthal's "all over the place" tweet.
