Ughh, that Latos thing ruined my morning. I know it wasn't likely we got him, but that's who i've been hoping for all along.

I don't have a problem with Roberts, but I still don't get why we just don't go for Bedard solo if he's still available.

IB4 people start randomly bashing David :D
-
It's still ridiculous that it would take 3 days for a trade that was complete to be "approved" by the owner. Seriously, if its that big of a deal for Angelos to free up 15 minutes of free time, either trust the GM you hired or become the GM yourself. Well, it was supposedly completed Sunday night, and Stein or someone from ESPN said Angelos had family matters to deal with on Monday. Today is Tuesday.

Well, before any of this Wilkerson stuff was reported in papers Tim Dierks at MLBTR had said this exact thing that he heard from someone. He also said yesterday in the comments section that the Pie for Roberts stuff was simply not true, and that Pie is not involved in anything for him (as I said in the Roberts thread). Hopefully he's right on that one too.

Vance, don't know if this is what you were referring to but from today: http://stations.espn.go.com/stations/espnradio1000/show?showId=middays -
1. Taylor Jungmann, RHP - Rogers HS (TX) 2. Jemile Weeks, 2B - Miami 3. Robbie Grossman, OF - Cy-Fair HS (TX) 4. Brett DeVall, LHP - Niceville HS (FL) 5. Chris Amezquita, SS - Servite HS (CA) Pass on Jungmann and you will regret [-X I really like his potential, coupled with a very good slider and a good change. http://www.brewerfan.net/images/playerpix/amateur/taylor_jungmann.jpg

From Churchill at prospectinsider:
-
David, did they say something tonight about Pie or are you talking about from awhile ago? I can't seem to find their comments on the Pie thing.
-
Well, yeah he's going to deny it, it isn't official. I'm sure there's a couple of X's and O's to be signed. BTW, Peace on OH said to expect Tuesday to be the "official day", since Jones i getting the physical done tomm.
-
Heh, a poster on a Mariners board way earlier posted that his mom works for an airline service and told him Adam Jones had just bought a plane ticket to Baltimore. Look who's laughing now...
-
I find it mildly humorous how invested you are in defending these guys, david. Yeah, they are all making it up because it was so easy to declare the Tejada trade was official 6 hours before any media outlet reported it, including the exact players involved. This being about a week after it was first mentioned in any papers (that the Astros are interested). Or maybe the fact that the night before the draft signing deadline one of them declared the Weiters deal was done and named the exact $ amount.
-
Belkast hinting that it's done. Soemone said they didn't think that Jones being held out would mean anything and he replied: Asked if the Roberts thing would follow he said "things should get busy", and said very very soon after. And the first person to complain about me posting this, I offer you a preemptive shutup. If you don't like it, don't respond. There's a certain group of posters that have called various specific things that I can note for the last 3 years, and Belkast is one of them.
-
dun dun dun If this is true then Bedard to Seattle has to be practically done. You don't take one of your teams biggest bats off the roster during the World Series.
-
We'll see. This is what i've personally thought all along, that Roberts would be traded right after Bedard. It makes no sense for Baltimore to deal their second best chip if they might noeven move their 1st. Bruce has even told us that MacPhail wants to deal Bedard first, and he's repeated that Roberts is still our number 1 target via trade. Personally, I think the deal is already agreed on based if Bedard gets traded. There was too much smoke from the reliable guys at the OH(not the random people who suddenly had contacts), for there to be no fire.
-
Things could speed up pretty soon. Adam Jones is being held out today in the championship series for his winterball team in Venezuela, and these are pretty big games for people over there IIRC. All the comments lately point to the dominoes falling quickly once they took care of Bedard.
-
I wasn't aware you had connections in the Twins front office who openly tell you how much they like players on other teams. Pie sucks. Ellsbury doesn't. it's not rocket science I still don't get why people think Ellsbury is anything special. Because he's fast? I mean, neither Pie or Ellsbury can hit lefties, and Ellsbury had a whopping .741 OPS in AAA (360+ AB's).
-
Honestly, I think we do. I just don't think we can sign him, since that's required. Lester is off limits, as well as Hughes now. So we're looking at something like Ellsbury, Lowrie, and another? Kennedy/Melky/ another? I have a hard time believing we couldn't beat that rather easily if we wanted to.

Here's what Dave Kaplan had to say about the cubs and Santana: http://wgnradio.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=120&Itemid=236

I really hope Murton isn't included for Roberts, so we can somewhat offset the loss of Gally with SD. Hopefully we could get a very good pitching prospect like Latos (doubtful), but even if we got someone like Inman it would make losing Gallagher a little less of a blow.

sports.yahoo.com/mlb/rumors;_ylt=Am.6RHdjFPzHNiHiU7Cd6jcRvLYF Doubt it since it seems like him to the Mariners is all but done, but it is from today so I thought i'd post it. I woulnd't be surprised if MacPhail and Hendry have the Roberts thing agreed on until Bedard is traded and Jim is helping Seattle raise their ante. I could see MacPhail telling Bavassi: "Well we're going to take the Cubs offer of Pie, Hill, and a buncha minor leaguers (obviously not real) unless you replace Sherill with Truinfel", or something like that.
