Matt Holiday?
Post Count Padder replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
The As gave up Carlos Gonzalez, Greg Smith and Houston Street for Holliday this past offseason. I'd be surprised if Beane would take less than what he gave for Holliday. Do we have the pieces to match what the Rockies obtained? Hendry and Beane seem to have a good relationship. I think Hendry could pull off another one of his patented rabbit out of a hat trades. Remember, between the Nomar, Aramis, and Harden trades, the one guy we MIGHT end up missing one day is Gallagher. Hendry may throw foolish contracts at players, but hes good with trades when this time of year rolls around. Josh Donaldson's a long way away, and won't stick at catcher, but he could still do something. Donaldson could easily stick at C. I don't know, I'd much rather have Brendan Harris on the team than Aaron Miles. -
Behind Vitters, Cashner, and Samardzija definitely. After that he fits into the debate anywhere. I'd rank Jackson ahead of him (and I'd rank Jackson ahead of Cashner). As would I, but I'm trying to guess how BA looks at it. Higher ranked than Castillo and Clevenger I'd assume?
-
So how'd he look?
-
How would Donaldson rank if he were still with us?
-
Of course you go and take the easy pick.
-
He hasn't been great the past two years, but prior to signing with the Orioles I always thought he was underrated. He probably doesn't have much left though.

Hart for Weiters. Done deal.

Braves Release Tom Glavine
Post Count Padder replied to JWCUB's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Just watch the Cards grab him and he posts a 1.02 ERA the rest of the season. -
Wow, I think this caught a lot of people off guard. Depends what prospects they get in return but right now this is bad for the Pirates.
-
To be dropping a 22-year-old former supplemental pick and top prospect must mean something else is up. Otherwise, the Cards are just dumb.

Holliday would be nice, but he'd cost way too much. -
Forget Peavy

=D> I agree. Fantastic. -
He's been so much better than I/ most of us anticipated. I keep waiting for him to fall back to earth, but he continues to dominate.

Top 10 worst FA signings by the Cubs all-time
Post Count Padder replied to Old Style's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Blauser Neifi Hundley Miles Mark Clark (was he a FA? I just remember him being terrible.) -
Thanks O_O. So Jackson is basically Tyler Colvin Part II? I've heard good things about Turner, he's the only one in that bunch I've heard before. Does his signability make him fall to us?
-
I haven't followed the amateur draft as much. Anyone wanna give me a breakdown of some of these guys we're rumored to draft? Or is there a free site where i could see some scouting reports?
-
Yeah, being traded for a backup catcher isn't exactly a career highlight.
-
This is straight-up dumb. Sure, go and fire Hurdle. But replace him with Tracy? Really?
-
Matt Wieters
-
That's a pretty cool ball.
-
+1 +2 and nice sig, btw.
-
How about not rewinding a VHS rental?
-
-
Hopefully he doesn't come back.
