    OK, so Tribune Field would be (or would have been, however you want to look at it) OK with you? Tribune is a company. All of my examples are family names.

    I think the key issue here is SELLING the naming rights. Ted Turner owns the Braves. William Wrigley owned the Cubs. August Busch owned the Cardinals. Does Joe Coors own the Rockies? Does Vinnie Chase own the Diamondbacks?

    Personally, I think that's a bit much considering we already have an acceptable secondbaseman. I have no problem giving up Patterson, but I like Gallagher a lot. If I'm giving up Gallagher, I'd rather not give up Veal. Veal may or may not be anything special, but to throw him into the deal to get a player that while an upgrade is not a huge upgrade is a little much. I can understand why the Orioles want to make out like bandits, and this is probably one of those trades where it may be best for both parties to walk away. Sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make. I agree. That is way too much to give up, IMO.

    The Rangers are run by a bunch of morons. It would be a good deal for them straight up. They want us to throw in Ceda or Veal? I think steroids aren't the only drugs that have infiltrated their organization.

    I don't think my bank account is big enough for that. It's clear that you just don't love the Cubs enough. I'd give every penny I have right now, but that's probably only enough to get an Old Style and a dog in my bleacher seat.

    My parents are retired and have been spending the entire month of March out there for about 4 or 5 years now. They have seats 2 rows behind the Cubs dugout right on the aisle. They bought a little place out there and this year are spending 3 months there. I know my dad has been out to watch practice a few times already. I hope to talk to him soon to get his take on what he's seen so far. Are any of you going out there?

    I like this kid a lot.

    Yup, in 2001, he was the Diamondbacks top prospect according to BA That must have been a pathetic farm system at the time when you look at what Cintron put up in 2000 in the minors... 2000 numbers: .301/.338/.404/.742 That is your #1 prospect in 01? Yeesh. I recall Meph saying something in a previous thread where Cintron was brought up about Cintron being considered the next Derek Jeter at one point. Ha! I think he meant to say the next Ralph Jeter, Derek's half-[expletive] stepbrother.

    So you wouldn't trade Sean Gallagher straight up for Roberts? I would In a heartbeat.
  18. Old Style
    This is the greatest thread ever. Keep up the great work, gentlemen. :good:

    134 pages on Brian Roberts?
  20. Old Style
    Exactly what I was thinking.

    I'm one that would really be pissed if they sold the naming rights. I guess I'm old school and it sickens me to see all the corporate whoring at stadiums these days and I don't want it in "my" stadium. I'm fed up with MLB enough as it is. This might be the final straw.
  22. Old Style
    I agree with this 100%.
  23. Old Style
    Can someone help me out and list who all is involved in this supposed deal? I've tried for about 20 minutes to find it, but this thread is just too damn long. Thanks.
  24. Old Style
    I totally agree. I think if we upgrade the other positions enough we can get by with Pie's offense still developing since his D is great. That's how I feel, but I'm not confident that's how it will be handled.
  25. Old Style
    What about Rowand in RF and Pie in CF?
