July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) I sure hope he wasn't the WOW player... Cowley said the "wow" player wasn't one of the most mentioned names, and specifically ruled Berkman out. It's Cowley, and there's a good chance that he's talking out his butt to some degree, but his "wow" guy wasn't Berkman.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:44 PM) BREAKING NEWS!: Adam Dunn likes our uniforms, big fan of the color black.... What's his opinion on the color gray?
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:29 PM) Well, if I wanted to win a ring, I'd definitely pick the Yanks over us. They have to be the huge favorites. I guess it depends on what his motivation is. Plus, I heard Berkman is close friends with Andy Pettite.
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:47 PM) What's his opinion on the color gray? well it's derivative of black, so i'm sure he's on board with it...
July 30, 201015 yr Heard this on Boers/Bernstein and they thought it be might be Carl Crawford coming here with Dunn going to the Rays in a 3 way. Take it for what it's worth but Crawford would fit Ozzie's ideal ballplayer. Edited July 30, 201015 yr by Allsox

I wouldn't necessarily like it because I would like Ichiro to single handedly beat the Twins this weekend. Maybe Ichiro can beat the Twins in tonights game and then join us tomorrow. That'll work.

Yeah, he is the player I think would fit the bill the best... Makes $17 million though over the next two years, 5 million deferred annually.

Makes $17 million though over the next two years, 5 million deferred annually. I am an unabashed, completely biased fan of Ichiro and I would buy an Ichiro jersey the MOMENT the trade was announced. That said, if his cost was prohibitive, we could EASILY flip him again this offseason, no question. God, if ONLY it was Ichiro....
July 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:56 PM) I think I figured out who Cowley's WOW player is! He loves those guys!

That would be like us dealing Frank 7 or 8 years ago. Crawford sounds much more likely.
July 31, 201015 yr Two things; 1) who are some new GMs that have came into baseball the last year or so? That may give us insight in to who the surprise player may be. 2) I have a feeling, Harrell would be part of a Dunn deal. I think the Nats wanted to see him in the bigs to see what he has.

I have a feeling that Harrell was just the best option for us at the moment. People were saying Harrell would be called up if Huddy was traded WAAAAY before the trade went down because he was the only AAA pitcher that made sense for this timeline.

July 31, 201015 yr So far I like what I see from Harrell... He has a nice fastball with some tailing movement to it. His curve breaks on a nice plane. Just is getting behind and not getting ahead.
July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) Maybe so but he may be a filler that could be a 4 or a 5 in the NL Wishful thinking.
July 31, 201015 yr Buster Olney Buster_ESPN Heard this:Other teams say that in recent weeks,the Nationals had told other teams that a key piece to anyone who wanted Adam (more)#trades Buster Olney Buster_ESPN Dunn was Edwin Jackson. This caused a number of teams to try to pry Jackson away from the D-Backs, with the White Sox (more)#trades 3 minutes ago via web Buster Olney Buster_ESPN finally landing Jackson today--and as of 7 p.m. Eastern, the Nats are indicating they're not sure if they want Jackson anymore.(more)#trades Buster Olney Buster_ESPN So as of tonight, teams are pulling their hair out over the Nats' machinations. We'll see if the White Sox can finish a Dunn deal.#trades 1 minute ago via web
July 31, 201015 yr the Nats are indicating they're not sure if they want Jackson anymore WTH, Rizzo you are a MF. Probably just trying to get KW top up the ante, but damn.
July 31, 201015 yr home from work, dont want to read 99 pages....can someone summarize the boards general feeling on this deal? personally, if it is what it takes to get dunn i am fine with it. but trading for him and to pay that much money for a 5th starter seems crazy when we could of gotten lilly instead.
