Carlos Pena Trade Candidate
Clem Fandango replied to Elwood's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Who would they target in return? Brandon Allen? Bobby Borchering? Paul Goldschmidt? Is Jarrod Parker aiming too high? -

I didn't realize he's 34, he looks so much younger.

This is a really good article written about the current state of the Pirates: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6781455/when-long-shot-your-best-shot EDIT: Derp... didn't see it posted above

Aramis for Alvarez

I gave up on hope a long time ago. Unless we get Fielder or Pujols there will be no reason to be excited about next year's team. They'll likely bring back a lot of the same cogs from this year but they'll be a year older. Whooptie doo. Also, if we don't get one of those two guys we won't have a guy capable of carrying an offense like Sammy did in 2001. And we won't have another Mark Prior to mow down batters at the front of our rotation. And we won't have....... an.... Alfonso Soriano? I don't know why 2007 was such a success. Point is, those teams had players on them that gave the Cubs clout and a reason for the fans to be hopeful. Without Pujols or Fielder what is there to look forward to except maybe the premiere of guys like Brett Jackson?

We're still not gonna be very competitive next year. EDIT: amending to say "Unless we get Pujols or Fielder". Glaring oversight. but if we don't get either of them, we still won't be very competitive
-
We're probably not gonna be very competitive next year, why bring back someone at $16 million a year to help us obtain a losing record when he'll be one year older and more susceptible to declining and losing value? If there was a time and person to trade on this team, it's right now and it's Aramis Ramirez. 3B production across the league is weak, he would could bring in the best package of anyone else on the team that is expendable.

I'm not completely saying Levine is wrong, but if he's been saying it for a while has anyone official confirmed it?

Where do you think Cot's gets their information from? If Levine specifically sought out this information to get clarity, he's probably more right than Cot's, which is a conglomeration of all the news reports that people like Levine put out at the time of the signing. That statement was somewhat tongue in cheek. That being said, who is right? If Cot's got their information from people like Levine, why is Levine now just saying that this clause doesn't exist a few weeks before the trade deadline. This seems like a pretty important contract clause to be falsely reported on and never clarified over the last several years
-
I trust Cot's more than I trust Bruce Levine, and Cot's says: It also says he gets a $1M relocation bonus, so he's not wrong about that, but this part of his contract seems pretty blatantly obvious, I'm not sure how he's missing that unless it's been falsely reported since the day he signed his contract years ago
-
He was talking about his boat.

You mean Dave "Let me hold the ball outside of my glove so you can see what pitch I'm about to throw" Bush? I remember when he was on the Brewers there were some articles gushing about his ability. About how every GM would love to have him on their team because of his talent and stuff or some such nonsense. Dave Bush has never been good.
-
link? http://www.juanguzmansentirecareer.com That website doesn't exist. You lied to us. Is this one broken? http://www.angelguzmansentirecareer.com Looks like it. Classic Guzman.

I bet the Chinese symbol he will inevitably get will mean power and strength

Brewers get K-Rod
Clem Fandango replied to rocket's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Does this mean they're moving Axford to setup man? Seems a little odd to go after a high profile closer when you already have a fairly productive closer. If you need middle relief help, why not target middle relief? They're cheaper and already suited for the role you need. -
Red Sox Interested in Garza
Clem Fandango replied to CUBZ99's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
We could use a guy like Lars Anderson, who they have no use for anymore. Granted Anderson has been underwhelming the last couple years, but still. Not sure I'd trade Garza for him though, for reasons others have stated already -
Well for starters I think Montero is injured right now. Two, his bat is ready but they want him to focus more on developing his catching ability. And three, it would signal the end of Jorge Posada and God forbid the Yankees make a smart managerial decision to get rid of a pretty crappy baseball player at this point in favor of being a classy organization by showing him the respect to keep him on the team. I mean what would the papers think? Axing one of the all-time great Yankees for this loser ass kid who probably has the hitting ability to hit in the middle of this lineup at the age of 21 right now? [expletive] that. It's not worth the drama
-
If the Cubs are gonna host a firesale at the deadline and Soto's name is going to be on the block (hypothetically speaking) it might as well be in favor for someone like Montero This. I'm a bit perplexed by their interest in Soriano and Grabow. Aramis I might be able to understand, but Soriano and Grabow?
-
Jesus Montero is too much to ask for, but I want him on this team damnit. All three for Montero, trade Soto for pitching prospects
-
Holliday, Kemp, and Weeks for the NL

Screw Wily Mo Pena, they should invite Mike Stanton

I'm exponentially curious to know what "Pirates of the base resistance kill" means
