MacPhail: Deal is dead (p. 297), stop posting, go outside

[Geech]

Jason Dubois (I think)

 

Dubois was traded to the Indians for Jody Gerut. He may have ended up in Baltimore, but he definitely went to Cleveland from Chicago.

[mdwilla]

that hendry can bring in a whole new middle infield tonight and a new outifielder named Fukodome. Wouldn't it be nice to see Hendry add Roberts/Tejeda/Fukodome and turn this team into the powerhouse of the NL.

This. After leaving Cleveland's organization at the end of 2006, Doobie played all of 2007 at Norfolk, Baltimore's Triple-A affiliate.

[Wheelimus]

Maybe I should have asked if any deal would have to include Hill or Pie.

 

Blew it. Totally blew it. :-({|=

[Bruce Miles]

I'll bite first (sorry for bugging you Bruce), any guess as to timeframe if there is something to this? Are we talking something that could break tonight or might it be a while?

 

 

I don't think it will be tonight. MacPhail, I'm sure, would have to run it by the owner since Markakis and Roberts are 1-2 on the owner's list of player favorites.

Hm, interesting. When MacPhail took over, supposedly Angelos told everyone that he would not interfere in MacPhail's business.

 

Guess not!

[Electron Blue]

Lots of hurdles to overcome, but there could be something to this one. Cubs are interested. MacPhail will ask a lot for a guy with a 48.6 VORP. The owner loves this guy, so don't underestimate that. But it's not out of the question, either.

 

Thanks Bruce. Youda'man!

 

Are you of the opinion that Hill and/or Pie could be traded this offseason? Hill finally breaks out last year and Pie gets the official not-gonna-trade-him label from JH. Any indication about their actual respective availabilties?

Sorry to bother you Bruce, but have you heard any talk of this expanding to something bigger, like Roberts/Tejada or Roberts/Bedard, or is the club mainly focusing on working out a deal for Roberts?

[mdwilla]

mmmmmmm Bruce says there's something to it.

hopefully bedard and tejada kicked angelos' dog or banged his daughter, and he's just desperate to unload them for anything.

So we're talking to them about both? :D

 

Heh, in my dreams. If only in my dreams...

Yeah, I'm just listing all the former Cub players that ended up with the Orioles. MacPhail likes his former Cubbies.

Jon Leicester

Francis Beltran

 

Beltran went to the Expos in the Nomar deal.

To the best of my knowledge, only Roberts is part of any talk with the Cubs. Hendry has remain steadfast in saying he won't trade Hill or Pie.

[ctcf]

Bruce any word on Fukudome?

If we're not talking about Pie or Hill and they're still talking, I like the sound of it. **crosses fingers**

Nifty. I like hearing this news.

[A New Era]

Bruce. Could you stop by the Fukudome thread please? :mrgreen:

If he could do that without either crippling the farm or handing out ridiculous contracts, I will officially take back half the bad things I've ever said about him.

If MacPhail says "VORP" Hendry will give him a tissue.

I get the feeling that MacPhail's got a bullseye on Marmol and a SP...

[Wheelimus]

Thanks as always Bruce for the insight. I promise to shove a few more brews down my pie hole to stunt my own hyperactivity. Heh.

Thanks Bruce. Good to hear about Hill and Pie.
