ScottyDo Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clyons Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 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.

Allsox Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) 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, 2010 by Allsox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I am an unabashed, completely biased fan of Ichiro and I would buy an Ichiro jersey the MOMENT the trade was announced.

That would be like us dealing Frank 7 or 8 years ago. Crawford sounds much more likely.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Thomas Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 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.

hi8is Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 So far I like what I see from Harrell... He has a nice fastball with some tailing movement to it. Â His curve breaks on a nice plane.

dmbjeff Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 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.
