  1. Maybe it will drive the O's asking price down? Or better yet, maybe it will make Hendry just not want him. Trading for Roberts in anything but a steal of a trade is a misallocation of resources. Focus on a good starting pitcher and a shortstop. I would think he considered this the whole time he's been pursuing a trade for him. Of course, this is Jim Hendry.
  2. Yeah, that big year he had may have been a product of roids, but the last two years seem pretty legit. Of course, we don't know that, I'm just sayin...
  3. Don't they have about 5 shortstops already? This could be funny depending on the contract they give him.
  4. How much will it effect the possibility of a trade. I mean, I guess a lot of people already suspected it.
  5. I have class at the time of the press conference. But I may skip. :P
  6. :lol: If the Orioles wanted him why wouldn't they just have had the Astros include him in the Tejada deal? They were being nice because they thought they were taking too much from the Astros?
  7. You've got to be kidding me. He has no idea how to negotiate. Peter: I'll give you $40 for that coffin. Store Owner: Sir, this casket is $1,000. Peter: I'll give you $2,000. Store Owner: Sir, that's double what it costs. Peter: $60. Brian (to the store owner): He doesn't know how to haggle.
  8. Hendry has surely gone mad. Someone needs take take his bottle of crazy pills away and kill the doctor who prescribed them to him.
  9. Well, Prior is gone. Now, I've had this username for years, since I was posting at the cubs.com board (which was about 5 years ago). But Mark Prior is gone. So the question, should I bid farewell to my username as well? I'll let you guys decide. Also, if you say yes, feel free to add your suggestions for my new name. I probably won't choose one of them, but who knows.
  10. Padres probably ask for a little more, but that seems like a good trade. Here we are again, doing all of Hendry's work. They should just hire us to be the GM. Things would be a little easier.
  11. Yeeeeaaaaahhhh, I don't really want to part with Pie for Roberts
  12. Padres probably ask for a little more, but that seems like a good trade.
  13. Watch the Padres sign him. Wouldn't surprise me in the least. I'm waiting for them to announce it within the next 24 hours.
  14. You do realize if he makes it back this season, it will be his last because Dusty will finish what he started. Sure. How do you think he got this way to begin with?
  15. You do realize if he makes it back this season, it will be his last because Dusty will finish what he started.
  16. I would hate to lose Gallagher, but I would make that trade. If we could get a mid level prospect back as well, then I'd go for it. That's a bit much to give up I think.
  17. Nice column, Bruce
  18. Hendry said he tried to gauge interest at the winter meetings in a Prior trade and there was none. I thought the Rangers and Padres had/have interest? Reds did. No way Hendry trades him within the division and risk having him pitch well against us. Or let him hit the free agent market and get nothing in return, while still going to a divisonal team. I think the odds are like 2-1 if he hits the open market he ends up in Cincy. Touche. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Few more hours...
