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

[MSG T]

Why is Marquis still here? Get that bum out of here and throw him in the deal..Lieber is basically guranteed a spot,which is why he signed..But the 5 spot will be between like 3 or 4 guys...I think Dempster will be way better than Marquis,even though Im not high on Dempster that much at all..Give them Marquis and Colvin

 

Yeah, I'm sure they'll take whoever Hendry demands they take. Why not just make them take Marquis and Dempster. :roll:

 

 

I like the thought of 2 for 1 much better, particularly if it doesn't involve Pie or Marshall AND Gallagher. One of those two and Colvin I wouldn't have a problem with.

 

However, any takers on that being the actual deal, and if so, Angelos actually accepting it.

What does Sean project to, a #4?

[Rob]

Nah, you're still RobH over there right?

 

Who told you!?

[RammyFanny]

What does Sean project to, a #4?

#3, though that's before he's added mph as of late and lost 25 lbs this offseason.

Yeah, I really don't want to trade him unless it makes us much better next year. Roberts doesn't fit the bill. And could we drop the first-name usage when discussing our two young pitching prospects who we are actively shopping and who share the name "Sean?" Thanks.

Thanks Rammy.

 

I guess I'm for trading for Roberts (Gallagher +, not Pie) because I really value DeRosa as a util-man with the way Lou manages. Our becnh is kinda weak right now.

I've been a long, long time lurker on this board, and this is my first post. I've read every single post in this thread (some several times due to boredom), but I'll echo how most people feel in this is the most ridiculous situation I've ever read about. I understand the invasive nature of the internet and how it's changed trade rumors and leaks, but I cannot remember a potential trade that has had half of the false reports/denials that have come about. I would be embarrassed to be an Orioles fan.

 

I just thought it would be cool for my first post to be a part of this legendary thread.

Welcome to the board.

[Sammy Sofa]

Im sure the O's would take him if they threw him in instead one of our prospects

 

I'm sure you're wrong.

Haha, that's crazy. I've checked this some, but haven't posted much in it. I just haven't cared until it finally now looks like it will happen.

 

And don't get mad at me if I insult E-Pat (assuming that's what your name refers), I just have this personal hate towards him.

His first post went nicely with your 11,000th CT.

[The Voice of Reason]

Just checking in. Has the Roberts trades been approved and signed off by Peace, Big Bird and Belkast yet?

It's funny you bring that up, my username is because I'm from East Peoria, Illinois. The irony is that Patterson was a Chief the summer I was an intern there. So no, it's not for Patterson, but I do like the guy.

I actually interviewed for an internship there the summer of '04, but ended up working with the Silver Hawks in South Bend.

Did you interact with him at all? What is he like? We all heard about his issues with being tardy and stuff and the impression that it leaves us of him.

Nah, I kept my distance from the players for the most part. Patterson was extremely popular though, as was Gallagher. I did get a chance to chat with Gallagher a few times, he was a pretty decent guy. None of the guys from that '05 team seemed like jerks.

Also, the number 4 is just a coincidence. It was my HS number.

Suuuuuure. All of these coincidences. I think you're the real EPatt. :D

 

Welcome aboard.

Apparently Rosenthal said the Cubs/Orioles deal was only a 2 for 1 deal. That's not good news.

 

Someone on Orioles Hangout said that Pie wasn't in the deal. I think he had a source too, but I'm too lazy to check. If it was 2 for 1 without Pie, maybe its Gallagher/Colvin.

 

Sources cannot be trusted these days. I am probably more willing to accept someones opinion as truth before a rumor some guy heard from one of this sources.

That post might just summarize this entire thread. (That is, the parts that actually have to do with the trade)

Why is Marquis still here? Get that bum out of here and throw him in the deal..Lieber is basically guranteed a spot,which is why he signed..But the 5 spot will be between like 3 or 4 guys...I think Dempster will be way better than Marquis,even though Im not high on Dempster that much at all..Give them Marquis and Colvin

 

Baseball isn't a video game.

 

 

Yes I know..But its funny how the orginization is trying to keep a straight face about the situation..Everyone knows they want him out..He serves no purpose here..Im sure the O's would take him if they threw him in instead one of our prospects or we can just dump his salary and trade him for sum prospects to a team desperate for pitching

 

Do you really think the O's would allow us to swap Marquis for Gallagher in the proposed deal? That's insane. We're not the only ones who know Marquis sucks. Even a team that is desperate for starters and sees some value in Marquis would prefer Gallagher, IMO.

I think he meant a lower prospect. The O's have expressed interest in Marquis, so they may take him in a trade in addition to Gallgher/ Marshall and whoever else is included

Eh, he said Colvin and Marquis in the earlier quote, so I figured that's what he meant.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

If we got Roberts and all we had to give up were Colvin and Marquis, I'd be extremely pleased.
