Dotel to the braves is official.

 

I wish we had an aggressive Gm that knows what he's doing

 

"We feel good about where we are and who we have".

 

Of course he said that. What's he supposed to say?

 

"We are probably not good enough to win this division. We have a couple big holes to fill and this offense just isn't good enough. I am desperately seeking help for this team."

 

That insults the players that are currently on the team and it also makes other GM's think that they can hold out and make Hendry offer more. I am sure Hendry is aggressively seeking help for this club, but there aren't a lot of guys out there that would make a difference for us, and the GM's that do have these players are asking for a lot because they know that nobody else is available. The only guy that could make a difference for us is Griffey and the Reds are likely asking for too much. If their asking price was reasonable, I'm sure Jim would be all over it.

The Padres have acquired Morgan Ensberg from the Astros, ESPN's Buster Olney reports.

 

Ensberg, Rob Mackowiak, Scott Hairston... we hope the Padres realize they're only allowed to carry 25 players at a time. Adding both Ensberg and Mackowiak seems to show how they don't have a lot of faith in Kevin Kouzmanoff.

Stephan A. Smith cannot shut up on ESPN 1000.

 

Exactly the guy I'd want on the air an hour before the trade deadline.

 

"The Worldwide Leader" :roll:

Let the meltdown begin here in about 40 minutes..

 

We shouldn't panic until past 3:30. The news gets out late on some trades.

It doesn't have to be announced before the deadline. We didn't hear about Maddux being traded last year til about a half hour after the deadline passed.

There was a heck of a lot of smoke before then though.

ESPN 1000 - Levine says Cubs are now interested in Dye

 

Please amount to something. Please.

 

Better not include Marmol.

But not for Marmol.

 

Eric Patterson for Dye? Probably giving up too much, but for the first World Series in 99 years? Yes please.
