A trade that Just might Work....Freel (Proposal, no basis)

[Andy]

I would trade any two of our bullpen pitchers (as long as it wasn't Eyre AND Howry) plus any two of our bench players for Freel.

Are there any combination of any four such players that would all make the Reds? Howry, Ohman, Nevin, Mabry? I don't think we have 2 bench players that would make their team.

Since Walker is probably gone at the end of the year anyhow

What about.......

 

Walker/Howry for Freel

 

or

 

Walker/Scott Williamson for Freel

 

or

 

Dempster for Freel (they may think Dempster just hit a bump of sorts)

It's hard to see this happening.

 

Freel's had a DUI

and an arrest for drunken, disorderly conduct

But that was last year that the Cubs' emphasis was on character. This year it's speed and catching the ball.

Which leads one to the only possible reason to root for the Sox to win the Series again this year: There is simply nothing to copy from them OTHER than hitting a bunch of home runs, because that is what they do best.
