8:45 p.m., from Steve Phillips

• The Cubs and Orioles have discussed a Brian Roberts trade. Baltimore would get Rich Hill and Sean Marshall for the second baseman.

WHAT?!

 

Better not. I'm hoping Phillips is full of crap.

[RyneSandberg]

That would be the worst trade of Hendrys career

[Sammy Sofa]

Uh, unless Tejada or (especially) Bedard is also coming over with Roberts, there's no way that's true.

He is.

 

That deal would be absolute insanity. Who the hell would Hendry replace Hill and Marshall with in that deal?

[E.J.]

Our rotation would basically be Z, Lilly, and crap.

[Banedon]

I'm sure Phillips is misunderstanding. What would our starting rotation be?

 

Z

Lilly

Marquis

Dempster

Gallagher

 

Yuck.

[USSoccer]

That would be one of the worst trades ever.

[Flames24Rulz]

Considering Bruce said that Hill and Pie are off limits, I highly doubt that trade is true.

[Outshined_One]

That'd be even worse than the Pierre trade, imo.

Ya think?

[E.J.]

Not surprising, the Orioles board is going nuts at the thought of that trade. Way too lopsided. Hendry can't be that stupid.

Yeah, I'd beleive Bruce long before I believe anything that spews out of Phillips's mouth.

[Derwood]

Hendry can't be that stupid.

 

OH MY GOD DON'T CHALLENGE HIM

[YearofDaCubs]

No way that's true.

[Derwood]

Steve Phillips was the one who traded Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano, so take that rumor in that context

[BCVM22]

I'm hoping Phillips is full of crap.

 

He is. I'm not worried.

i don't really believe that

[Schwarber Fan]

Hendry isn't even that dumb

That was Jim Duquette, not Steve Phillips.

Few people remember Duquette ever being a GM, so might as well say it was Phillips and make hhim look dumber (if possible).

[Sammy Sofa]

The Orioles' official board has people griping that Hill alone isn't worth Roberts and even him and Marshall probably is still kind of worthless.

How's it going?

[JWCUB]

Hendry isn't even that dumb

 

Lets not put that to a vote. :roll:

I wonder if any are reading this thread and getting angry about how unrealistic our trade proposals are?
