Wild Hair out of my Butt idea....

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Cardinals need a second baseman.

Cubs are going to trade Walker.

 

How about Walker for Marquis? Then package Marquis, Williams, and a prospect for Abreu. Ideas?

[Mark_R]

If Marquis is the centerpiece of a deal for Abreu, why wouldn't the Cards give up two comprable prospects for Abreu themselves?

I'd do it. But who do we get to play MI then?

[otis89]

Who plays second and short for the Cubs? Cedeno and Perez?

[UK1679666180]

I don't want to run the risk of having to be stuck with Marquis, if STL wants to get rid of Marquis, they'll find a suitor. Of course, not signing Burnett increases the value of Marquis until they sign someone else.

I wouldn't trade Walker for Marquis. I definitely wouldn't trade walker to st. louis. come to think of it, I wouldn't trade walker.

I don't think the Cards would do it and we still might have to add to that list for Bobby.

How far out is E Pat? 2-3 years?

optimistically a couple years. he has a long way to go before we can know if he will or won't make it.

[Blueheart05]

I'm not sure but it won't be Todd. Hendry doen't even mention his name when he talks about inhouse MI for 2006.

It's a good question and one that's popped up on CardsTalk

[Ding Dong Johnson]

How far out is E Pat? 2-3 years?

 

If he's anything like his brother, he'd... ah, never mind. :)

[JWCUB]

Would be a slap in the face for Todd too. Cards? YUCK

Lets just keep our fingers crossed on that one :wink:

I'd hate it if Walker went to the Cards. He is (was?) one of my favorites on last year's team and I would hate to have to root against him if he was a member of the evil, godless, communist, puppy-kicking Cardinals.

That's what I was thinking.

[badger1679666666]

Ok, seriously. We aren't going to give up what the Phills want for Abreu. We just aren't.

 

There are TWO players we could give up that they would take - Z, Prior. We won't do that. So could the Abreu trade proposals just stop, they are absolutely ridiculous on every level. And downright delusional on some levels.

 

Marquis is not a #1 or #2, Neither is Jerome Williams. I just don't get what lala land Cubs fans are living in thinking we actually will trade stuff that the Phills would want for Abreu.

Or thinking that we'll get a big impact bat.

[stitchface]

or hoping we can win! Lets all go die!

Stop telling people not to make trade proposals. You don't know for certain what a team will or will not trade or accept in a trade. You're certainly entitled to say that you don't think a trade will happen, but others are entitled to propose them (as long as it's clear that they are their proposals as opposed to rumors that they heard). Time will tell what does and does not happen.

In the future can we please have threads that don't talk about Vance's wild butt hair? Thanks in advance.

Why would it be a slap in the face to trade him from a crappy team with little positive direction, to a team with a direction that usually makes the playoffs???
