    Winn is definitely headed somewhere. Jeremy Reed was a late scratch as well due to a recent concussion, which puts Willie Bloomquist in center for the Mariners today. :shock:

    Please post any new news unless it is a confirmed trade in the appropriate threads. I'm locking this one up.
  3. BigbadB
    In my mind, it's not a question of will they or won't they, but rather a question of who it will be. With all the speculation taking place, it's probably a safe bet to assume the Cubs will get one of: Dunn Kearns Huff Floyd Soriano Mench Manny Lawton But, Hendry isn't exactly predictable.

    If the Reds are currently shopping Dunn, Kearns, Griffey, Casey and already traded Randa, aren't they basically conceding the division for the next 5 years anyway? Whether the Reds want to reconcile with it or not, they need to rebuild that team from the ground up. The problem is, I think their front office may thing that by hanging on to Dunn, Kearns, Griffey, etc., they have a shot at contending in the next couple of seasons. Of course, they do not. Milwaukee is currently a year or two ahead of them. Houston is probably going to slip a bit. St. Louis always finds a way to be competitive and the Cubs have money to spend, good talent and a strong farm system. If I were the Reds, I'd be doing what Tampa Bay is doing and what Pittsburgh did. Stock up on the kids. Cincy's current starting rotation isn't going to take them anywhere. Their offense is one of the best in baseball, and where has it gotten them?

    Winn sports a pretty decent OBP in a pitcher friendly park. I'd be fine with Hairston platooning with Winn in center. But, I'd also like to see an upgrade in left still.

    Macias has been pulled? :shock: Wonder where he's headed? Macias was a scratch? Rotoworld said yesterday that the Cubs were going to rest Aramis' sore quad the rest of the weekend.

    What in the world does BTAIM stand for? Be That As It May, according to Google. Thanks CPatt. You just saved me a severe brain cramp for the rest of the day. If the looming trade deadline wasn't enough......

    I'd be fine with Huff. Sounds to me like Hendry is playing his cards perfectly once again, working those phone lines and moving on to someone else when the opposing GM continues asking for too high of a price. Of course, some of these GM's might have better offers on hold that they are waiting to see if something better comes along before agreeing to terms. For example, the Dodgers might have an offer good enough for Dunn and Cincy is waiting to see if Hendry will make a better offer. I would just love to be a fly on the wall in the war room on trade deadline weekend.

    He had absolutely no trouble putting a couple of deep shots out in RF at Petco, something Klesko and Giles have a tough time with.
  12. BigbadB
    This is a Matt Lawton thread. Let's try and keep it that way. We don't need each of these threads to discuss Soriano, Dunn or Manny. Thank you!

    It would be remarkably stupid. I doubt that the person who wrote that article knows much more abouyt what is going on than we do. Some of these people are trying to monitor and predict the actions of 30 teams. Look how much trouble we are having just monitoring one. Hendry is a very patient man (which I give him tremendous credit for), and I believe he will get his man (hopefully it's Dunn) without having to give up too much.
  14. BigbadB
    I certainly doubt it. Hendry has shown that he doesn't just give up the farm to get the guy he wants, also.
  15. BigbadB
    It certainly would have made more sense to bat Murton 2nd yesterday rather than Neifi.

    Omar Vizquel? Omar Minaya? Omar who? Nomar was playing with a ginger achilles last year. This year, he blew out his groin. Neither of those injuries are related. I don't consider Nomar damaged goods. Any player could blow a hamstring or groin muscle at any time. Because Nomar was playing hurt last year, we got him for a discount price this year and for a short term. If he comes back and can provide a boost to this offense, I'd be thrilled to have him back for another year next year.

    Rotoworld announced early this morning that Colorado was getting Kelly Shoppach in exchange for newly acquired Larry Bigbie. Whether or not that deal has become official yet or not, I don't know. Boy, that's a bad trade for the Sox...Bigbie is nothing special, and Shoppach is one of their better bargaining chips. I heard about that somewhere, but just dismissed it since it seemed stupid. I agree with that. And even though I'm not the Cubs GM, I would have gladly traded Hollandsworth AND Gerut to Boston for Shoppach. Shoppach would be another nice bargaining chip to get Adam Dunn.

    Texas has Ian Kinsler to put at 2nd base if Soriano is dealt. I don't think they would want Walker if it meant getting less pitching in return.
  20. BigbadB
    Who are you quoting? Obviously, Nomar was the centerpiece.
  21. BigbadB
    As others have already stated, Sisco won't be back.
  22. BigbadB
    I expect it will happen today. What, I don't know.
  23. BigbadB
    The Padres are still in first, even though they now have a losing record. They traded Nevin, lost Ramon Hernandez (possibly the year) and their offense is only mediocre to begin with. The Cardinals would have to send back more offense than they are getting to get Giles.
  24. BigbadB
    Just say no to Jacque Jones. If Brian Giles is still available, I'd love to see a 1 or 2 year deal.
  25. BigbadB
    Because many of you battle and fight to be the first person to make a post announcing a trade, I usually just come here. I do keep an eye on Rotoworld also, but I like the constant player news in general there.
