How about a 3-way?

[Backtobanks]

With all of the talk about the White Sox-Angels swap of Crede plus Garcia for Santana and Figgins, I was wondering if there was a way of getting the Cubs involved so they could end up with Santana. A young, cheap, and experienced pitcher would make me happier than those $10 million mediocre #4s that we've been talking about. The Sox might want somebody like Jones for LF to help replace Crede's power numbers. They might want Izturis for his defense while the rest of their big bats could cover his weak offensive skills. If they want a young pitcher, we have a ton of them. I'm not great at figuring out possible multi-team trades, but I'm sure someone out there could figure it out. Put on your thinking caps.

Stupid misleading thread titles. :lol:

She's into it.

Excellent, the roommate switch.

How about this three-way transaction:

 

Disgruntled Cubs Fan + Jessica Alba + Keeley Hazell?

 

 

Thoughts? 8)

[BigbadB]

Uribe is nothing to get excited about, but I'd take him over Izturis in a heartbeat.

[TruffleShuffle]

Too many dudes on this board - I knew this thread title couldn't be a good idea.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I was asked this question in Cancun once. Cancun is a wonderful place.

[neely crenshaw]

how did we go from jessica alba to uribe?....now that would be a bad trade!

For the team that ends up with Uribe.

While the thread title definitely is misleading, the thread creator is requesting feedback on baseball related transactions.

yes, but was it the GOOD or the BAD 3-way proposal?

[TruffleShuffle]

I'd love to trade for santana, and Stoneman's recent crappy moves make me feel like he might give Santana up for less than he should - but I don't know that the Cubs have the right pieces in this case, even in a trade with the White Sox. And, you'd have to assume that two GMs would be dumb enough to give him up, not just one.

We'd have perhaps the best middle infield cheap for 6 years, a very good young pitcher, we'd sign an ace to nearly replace Z's productivity and his rapidly escalating salary, and a very highly touted pitching prospect.

I don't want Z to go, but I'd have to do it. Can't see the Angels giving up four young, really good players though.

If we have to, we toss in Eric Patterson.

deal's off

[BigbadB]

Why would Patterson kill that deal? I'd take Kendrick over Patterson all day long.

 

Patterson is 3 months younger than Kendrick.

I can't endorse any deal in which Patterson is traded. And yes, I know Kendrick is a better prospect than him. I'm just stubborn.

I really don't get the lust over Patterson. He's far from an untouchable.

Because, he came in as an 8th round draft pick and I was the most excited about it at the time, and a lot of people doubt him but he has succeeded along the way so far. It's like when you have a favorite band and they're pretty obscure, and then they start to make it big - you feel like you discovered them. What can I say, I'm just liked the kid from when he was drafted, thought he'd be a real solid major leaguer for the Cubs, and I'm still hoping it happens.

[TruffleShuffle]

not to mention that the Cubs' minor league system produces good position players once in a blue moon (when was the last one, really? mark grace?) so it'd be cool if he made it
