[TruffleShuffle]

covelli crisp: .248 .286 .384

[Irrelevant Dude]

Brian Roberts .267 .356 .431

Someone in Baltimore has to be wondering what they were thinking...

[MidoreX]

Nick Swisher - .201/.330/.310 for an amazing .640 OPS through 184 at bats. If only everyone the sox picked up had their OPS drop 200 points...

[Balsa]

At least Church gets a chance to mash now that he's out of RFK. That place was strangling him.

[NCCubFan]

Marlon Byrd: .218, .284, .344

He's suffering from Bellhorn disease.

Ryan Church was the one that got away for me. I really wanted him 2 offseasons ago.

[Wilson A2000]

Could have had what, Gallagher, Cedeno, Marshall? Sometimes the best trade is the one you don't make.

Marlon Byrd: .218, .284, .344

 

Along those same lines, let's not forget the other rumored part of the Roberts' deal:

 

Jay Payton .239/.284/.367

[RynoRules]

Yup - he'd look good in the OF.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

ARod: 287/362/522/884

[CuseCubFan69]

ARod: 287/362/522/884

 

If the Cubs had him at SS they could put you in CF.

I'd do it too

[sneakypower]

don't forget carl crawford either

.276/.323/.384 but 39 runs

[Hairyducked Idiot]

ARod: 287/362/522/884

 

Alex Rodriguez is an easier out than Ryan Theriot.
