alfonso or rafael?

[ltb]

wow.

 

interesting - all i see is the box in the corner - who is it for?

[imb]

Wilkerson?

[da bears]

Is there any details, or was that all ESPN has said?

[ltb]

the last rumor was Wilkerson + Luis Ayala, Collin Balester or Kory Casto - don't know if Bowden finally let one of those three go.

[iowacub]

FOR wilkerson, Sledge, and PTBN

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

according to an articles on nationals.com, Soriano would be willing to move to LF.

 

finally

Great trade for Texas. With the surplus of outfieders maybe we could get Wilkerson from them (more likley Mench).

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

sonuva. i really liked Wilkerson. well, that's one of my guys off the board. :(

So with Tampa demanding a king's ransom for Lugo (typical Tampa), and Soriano no longer around to tempt Hendry, it's beginning to look more like Walker could be the 2B after all, no?

[cjbucks]

I would have liked to had Wilkerson too - if he is healthy I look for him to have a good year.

[brinoch]

Bowden, again, demonstrates that he is quite possibly the worst GM in baseball.

Unless he deals Walker to Texas for Wilkerson.

Is this just a rumor or is it a done deal?

Unless they make a very late last minute play for Grudz. Graffanino is also still available.

Or he trades them to the newly secondbaseless rangers for mench

[Deeg]

The key to this deal is, Vidro should now be available. With Hendry being so fat in cash, he'd be an interesting gamble.

[iowacub]

what a steal for the Rangers...last I heard the Dodgers were offering 1 minor league pitcher and the Nats gave up two of's with a ton of cheap talent.

[ltb]

Is this just a rumor or is it a done deal?

 

done

[Sabermetrician]

Texas got the best player -- maybe two players -- in this deal.

[Mizzou]

done

 

Excellent!
