DET & PHI TRADE
det gets:
SP HAMELS
2B POLANCO
OF BROWN
phi gets:
SP TURNER
3B INGE
OF BOESCH
RP PAULEY
OF THOMAS
WHY DO TIGERS DO THIS:
cause they get that pitcher they need to solidify the rotation and that the tigers can resign him next year cause they can afford to do it by the fact that inge wont get the $7 million he would be owed by a club option and another few millions along the way.... but by trading inge, the tigers get rid of that contract that inge is not living up to and the phillies get a 3B that can help them out (which is hard to imagine) also a possible chance of trading victor martinez based on recent talks since they got fielder.... they can resign him and that the tigers will be able to have a rotation that can be scary if all stay healthy and good....then they get a 2B they should not have walked a few years ago cause theyve had problems ever since at 2B....then they get a OF that seems to not work out in PHI cause they have a decent OF....the tigers would get rid of a few young players but they get what they need
WHY THE PHILLIES DO IT:
they get rid of a contract that will expire and most likely hamels will walk away and they get a great young pitching prospect in jacob turner who can become the next roy halladay when he gets going..... they also get an RF in beosch that is a great OF that the phillies need and that hes young, good hitter and fielder would be a plus and an upgrade over their recent RF (they got pence so boesch will be in LF where he plays better anyways) and they also get a RP in pauley that is being looked at by alot of teams as a trade piece and that they get a young SS in iorg that will be the future SS when rollins leaves or retires.....so the phillies get rid of a pitcher that will leave and demand more money then the phillies can offer and that the tigers will be a better fit as of right now....the phillies give up a once TOP 5 MLB OF PROSPECTS but recently dropped out of the top 20
SO THE PHILLIES AND TIGERS GET BETTER AT THE POSITIONS THEY NEED BADLY
DET=
C: AVILA
1B: FIELDER
2B: POLANCO
SS: PERALTA
3B: CABRERA
LF: RABURN

CF: VICTORINO
RF: PENCE
SP1: HALLADAY
SP2: LEE
SP3: WORLEY (oswalt)
SP4: TURNER (worley)
SP5: KENDRICK (turner/kendrick)
then the phillies can resign roy oswalt to a 1 yr $7.5 contract and be over with it Not Gonna happen
05 Feb 2012 10:43:32
well it could happen....cole hamels leaves free agency next year and can sign with anyone but he can be dealt this year before next offseason starts
there can be a few good teams to look at his services:
- yankees
- red sox
- angels
- tigers
- brewers
- cubs
- any bad team that can make them better
--------------------------------------
PHI & MIL:
PHI GETS:
SP GALLARDO
OF GOMEZ
MIL GETS:
SP HAMELS
OF BROWN
3B MARTINEZ
03 Feb 2012 15:13:43
Red Sox get: John Lannan, Chun-Hsui Chen
Nationals get: Michael Brantley, Jason Donald
Indians get: Matt Purke, Matt Barnes, Blake Swihart
Note: PTBNL status for recent draftees applies.
In one fell swoop, the Red Sox get the additional starting pitcher, a lefty (which always seems to be a good thing especially against the Yankees) and a solid defensive catching prospect with a power stroke. The Nationals get their starting CF'er who is left handed and hits leadoff along with a utility guy who can play 3B, SS, 2B and CF/OF. Both players are young and cost controlled for the foreseeable future. Both the Nationals and the Red Sox would have to give up some well thought of prospects (as PTBNL due to the trade & signing protocol for recent draftees), two B-minus and one B-plus prospect, respectively:
Matt Purke, a John Sickels Grade B- LHSP who has a quite of bit of upside potential provided his shoulder cooperates.
Matt Barnes, a John Sickels Grade B+ RHSP that has the frame and arm to be a future middle of the rotation horse.
Blake Swihart, a John Sickels Grade B- Switch Hitting C, is a step or three down from Chun-hsui Chen as a catcher and much closer to the ML's.
Discussion: Michael Brantley is a smooth athletic starting ML CF'er with deep baseball roots that is maturing into a solid ML hitter. His power stroke was derailed a bit by a hamate bone injury that is now behind him. Jason Donald was originally slated to become the starting 3B out of spring training, however, after being HBP, he suffered a hand injury that kept him out of the lineup and allowed Lonnie Chisenhall the chance to become the Indians 3B of the now as opposed to the future. Donald is an extreme gamer that plays the game the right way. He would be missed as the primary backup at several positions with the Indians. The inclusion of Barnes (instead of someone like Ranaudo) was offset by the inclusion of the Chen for Swihart part of the trade. John Lannan compliments the Red Sox starting pitching rotation very nicely and would slot in as their fourth SP in their rotation. The one prospect the Nationals would surrender as part of this trade has some injury concern, but, should be a decent ML SP in time.
03 Feb 2012 13:01:39
well the tigers are trying to get a veteren starter that can be the 5th starter or in the bullpen if someone else in on the team does better to get that 5th spot in the rotation
so i heard after the nationals signed edwin jackson.....they are looking at trades for john lannan
well hes good enough to be a 5th starter and no higher (for the tigers)
so here is a good trade
DET GETS:
SP JOHN LANNAN
WAS GETS:
OF ANDY DIRKS
LOW LEVEL PROSPECT
or
DET GETS:
SP JOHN LANNON
2B DANNY ESPINOSA or SS IAN DESMOND
WAS GETS:
OF ANDY DIRKS
SP ANDY OLIVER
IF CALE IORG
this may seem much but iorg is getting too old to even help the tigers.....he was supposed to be ready 2 years ago but didnt pan out in spring training and a few injuries
he would have to make the majors this year or hes not good enough for the tigers
but with another team like the nationals....they can use him right away and with oliver....he is like andrew miller (a big type player that does great in the minors and then gets a shot at the majors but doesnt do that well)...we can afford to lose oliver....dirks can help them out too
the tigers get a 5th starter they need and a 2B that they despretly need.....they would get either DESMOND OR ESPINOSA and they would put whoever out of them 2 at 2B....they need a young major league ready 2B and not a guy that was supposed to come out 2 years ago
I WOULD LIKE THIS TRADE AND IT HELPS BOTH TEAMS OUT Maybe Desmond but the Nats are in love with Espinosa.
02 Feb 2012 23:14:28
Tigers sign Cespedes for a 5-year $45 million deal
02 Feb 2012 19:10:51
TOR: Rajai Davis OF, Mike McCoy SS & Chad Beck
for
WAS: John Lannan SP Id never do it!

Angels Rays Trade
This could only happen if Trumbo can't make the transition to Thirdbase. Okay so the Rays have an excess of starting pitchers now that Moore will be in the starting rotation. James Shields has been in trade talks so heres my idea.
Angels Get
James Shields
Rays Get
Mark Trumbo
CJ Cron (4th best 1B prospects)
Alexi Amaristra
Chevy Clarke
Rays Lineup
C = Jose Molina
1B= Mark Trumbo
2B= Ben Zobrist
3B= Evan Longoria
SS=Sean Rodriguez
LF= Sam Fuld
CF= BJ Upton
RF= Matt Joyce
DH= Carlos Pena
Angels Rotation
Jered Weaver
Dan Haren
James Shields
CJ Wilson
Ervin Santana
Both teams benifit from this greatly. The Rays now have a much powerful Lineup and the Angels have the Best Rotation in Baseball. Maybe just Trumbo, Amaristra & Clarke First of all the won't trade Shilds..The won't have Pena DH with his 135 Avg..Plus Jennings is in left not Fuld...Are even a Rays fan? Its an angels fan you can tell bc they always overvalue all of their players Yankees fans are worse at that! Yankee fans are the worst then the angel fans No it goes Yankees, Tigers, Blue Jays Ever since the angels signed wilson and pujols they overvalue all their players
1. yankees
2. angels
3. tigers
those are the 3 teams fans that overvalue their players People are just saying Angel fans are overvalueing their players because you Haters are just mad that Pujols leaving St. Louis and coming to Anaheim for 254 million. Just remember Trumbo was second in Rookie of the year voting and he is much better than Pena and Scott. So this can be a very solid trade Im glad he left in stl. he isnt worth the money and has been declining since 2008. so angels overpaid for a guy who is 32 already He may have dropped in a few catergories but he is still the best in baseball
look at it like this.....of the last 4 years, his worst was in 2011 and what did the cardinals do in 2011...they were the world series champs
yeah he had players that were doing great (holliday when healthy, berkman, freese and molina...just talking about hitters)
the tigers dont overvalue their players (they did a few years ago but not anymore)
the only player they overvalue is brandon inge.....he sucks and was never good (hes a sub-par fielder but a by far worst hitter that started over 100 games...not adam dunn cause he didnt play in the field)
the tigers up to 2009....did not overvalue the players
when we signed ordonez, that was a iffy pickup but he gave the tigers a great run and a trip to the world series (only 3 years after one of the worst seasons ever)
in 2003...the tigers obviously sucked
then in (we get):
(notable names)
2004=
- ivan rodriguez
- carlos guillen
2005=
- placido polanco
- magglio ordonez
2006=
- curtis granderson (began mlb career)
- kenny rogers
- justin verlander (began full time sp)
- todd jones
2007=
- sean casey (only this year)
- gary sheffield
2008=
- miguel cabrera
- edgar renteria (only this year)
- armando galarraga
2009=
- gerald liard
- adam everett
- edwin jackson (only this year)
- rick porcello (began mlb career)
2010=
- alex avila (began mlb career)
- brennan boesch (began mlb career)
- austin jackson (began mlb career)
- johnny damon (only this year)
- max scherzer
- jose valverde
2011=
- johny peralta
- victor martinez
- brad penny (only this year)
- doug fister
- delmon young
2012=
- prince fielder
- gerald liard (second stint with det)
- octavio dotel
well these are all of the major names that the tigers improved the team on....they made it better every year as it passes
02 Feb 2012 00:04:51
Dear Yankee Fans,
Please stop posting trades with AJ Burnett as a trade chip to get a big name player. AJ Sucks, has way to big of a contract and NOBODY WANTS HIM!!! Completely agree!! I know. The last time I played any level of pro baseball was 2007 and I could bring more in a trade than Chris Dickerson or some of the other humps Yankees fans want to trade for Felix or Shields.
01 Feb 2012 15:37:22
Yankees Get: Andre Ethier & a Low level Prospect.
Dodgers Get: Aj Burnett(Most His Salary Eaten), Cervelli, & Betances or a lesser Prospect. Your kidding right No I'm not. Dodgers hang up the phone on that deal. they dont want burnett Betances is a great young player!
01 Feb 2012 12:44:10
Rangers/Orioles trade
Rangers get: 3 top prsopects, Chris Davis and cash
Orioles get: Adrian Beltre There's a reason they traded Davis already!
01 Feb 2012 12:38:30
Braves/Yankees trade
Braves get : Eduardo Nunez
Yankees get: Jack Wilson, and cash I think they can get a better trade for Nunez
01 Feb 2012 00:20:51
yankees get: Tim Lincecum
Giants get: Mark Teixeira, A.J. Burnett
fair deal! Nope. Price of both Tex an Burnett are way to high. Giants cant afford that Yankees show the giants the money they aint paying those salaries It could happen.....only if the yankees include cash
like about $25,000,000
(then the giants and yankees will do it)
31 Jan 2012 21:07:41
Blue Jays: Lincecum
San Fran: Jose Bautista Wouldn't happen, but it's conceivable. Blue jays wouldnt be able to afford timmy salary lmao Bautista is better Why wouldn't they be able to afford it? they were finalists for Fielder, but didn't want to offer more than 4 years. They wernt even in the top 3 rangers nationals and ovisly the best team in baseball the tigers The BLue Jays didnt want to pay 15 to 20 mill for a man that will be 37 when his contract is up! these deals just comeback and bite you in the ass
31 jan 2012 02:13:11
one of the best cuban prospects in yeonis cepedes is a free agents and soon to sign with a team
the teams that have been looking at him are:
- tigers
- orioles
- white sox
- marlins
- cubs
im a tigers fan and would like to see that cause the tigers have room to get him cause noone thought the tigers could afford for prince fielder but they did....so getting cepedes would be great and that he can be the lf and young will be the dh and raburn and santiago will split time at 2b...thats possible so why not
so heres the depth chart for the 5 teams if they sign him........
det=
c: avila
1b: fielder
2b: raburn
ss: peralta
3b: cabrera
lf: cepedes
cf: jackson
rf: boesch
dh: young
mia=
c: buck
1b: sanchez
2b: bonifacio
ss: reyes
3b: ramirez
lf: morrison
cf: cepedes
rf: stanton
chc=
c: soto
1b: lahair
2b: barney
ss: castro
3b: stewert
lf: soriano
cf: byrd
rf: cepedes
chw=
c: pierzynski
1b: konerko
2b: beckham
ss: ramirez
3b: morel
lf: de aza
cf: rios
rf: cepedes
dh: dunn
bal=
c: wieters
1b: davis
2b: roberts
ss: hardy
3b: reynolds
lf: cepedes
cf: jones
rf: markakis
dh: reimold
so which one is the best??
i would say either the tigers or orioles
here would be the lineup with victor martinez involved too
c: avila
1b: fielder
2b: raburn
ss: peralta
3b: cabrera
lf: cepedes
cf: jackson
rf: young
dh: martinez
you know how bad this lineup would be if they get cepedes and when martinez comes back?? they would be lethal as hell (hopefully they bring young back next year) No way the Tigers sign Cepedes He will not sign with Detroit. White sox but i'd find a way to have an outfield of de aza-cespedes and viciedo WELL ALL THE NAY-SAYERS ARE DOING THE SAME THING WITH CEPEDES AS THEY DID WITH FIELDER
I POSTED ON HERE MONTHS AGO THAT THE TIGERS SHOULD SIGN FIELDER AND I GOT (5 AGREE AND 20 DISAGREE).....WELL LOOK NOW...3 MONTHS LATER AND LOOK WHO IS ON THE TIGERS
EVERYONE WAS SHOCKED THE TIGERS GOT FIELDER....MIKE ILLICH HAS THE MONEY AND HAS SHOWED THAT HE CAN GO OUT AND SPEND MONEY TO BRING FANS AND A 1ST WORLD SERIES TITLE IN 28 YEARS
WE CAN GET CEPEDES....YOU ALL ARE JUST DISAGREEING WITH IT CAUSE YOU WANT HIM ON YOUR TEAM AND/OR YOU DONT WANT HIM TO GO TO THE TIGERS CAUSE THEY ARE BETTER THEN YOUR TEAM AND YOU ARE MAD AT THE FACT THAT THE TIGERS GOT BETTER
THE ANGELS AND TIGERS WILL FIGHT TO SEE WHO WILL GO TO THE WORLD SERIES
THE MARLINS AND DIAMONDBACKS WILL FIGHT TO SEE WHO WILL GO TO THE WORLD SERIES
I LIKE:
- DET VS MIA
(cause of dombrowski and cabrera playing against their former team)
- DET VS ARI
(cause i lived and loved the tigers my whole life and now live in arizona for over a year now)
all you need to realize the facts.....the tigers can get cepedes even after getting fielder....THEY CAN PULL IT OFF
31 Jan 2012 00:28:31
I know this trade will never happen blah blah blah but as a Tigers fan I would do this with little hesitation...
Giants get Prince Fielder
Tigers get Tim Lincecum
Our offense is good enough and look at this pitching rotation...
1.Verlander
2.Lincecum
3.Fister
4.Scherzer
5.Porcello
That is one scary rotation but I know its never going to happen. Man that is tempting
i like fielder now since hes with the tigers and i like lincecum.....the giants need a 1B and the tigers need a pitcher
IT WOULD BE HARD TO ACCEPT OR NOT IN THIS TRADE..... Timmy and verlander would be the best top 2 guys in rotations but im not sold on fister, scherzer or porcello They ARE NOT going to trade a guy they just signed to a 9 year deal ^^
i agree and disagree with you
agree cause:
- they need fielder
- thats the answer theve been looking for to protect cabrera
- gives them a better shot at the WS
disagree cause:
- he can now be a trade chip and the tigers can get a TON in return...more then most players
- ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
BUT I HEARD THE PHILLIES MIGHT LOOK INTO LINCECUM (IF NOT EITHER GRIENKE OR GALLARDO)
they use a package to get lincecum
PHI-SF:
phi gets:
sp lincecum
if burris
sf gets:
sp hamels
3b martinez (great prospect)
of brown
sp blanton
SAY THIS GOES THRU....WHICH ROTATION WOULD YOU WANT???
PHI:
1) HALLADAY
2) LINCECUM
3) LEE
4) WORLEY
5) KENDRICK
SF:
1) CAIN
2) HAMELS
3) BUMGARNER
4) VOLGESONG
5) ZITO/BLANTON
youd rather want the phillies..obviously
IM NOT A PHILLIES FAN CAUSE I CANT STAND 75% OF THEIR TEAM (THE ONLY PLAYERS I LIKE IS ROLLINS, HAMELS, HALLADAY, LEE, PAPELBON, POLANCO, THOME AND WILLIS...yes i said dontrelle willis....THE REST I CANT STAND)
SO IM NOT A PHILLIES FAN, NEVER WAS AND NEVER WILL.....I HEARD THE PHILLIES ARE LOOKING AT THE CHANCE OF GETTING LINCECUM BUT MOST LIKELY WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE LIKES OF (GARZA, GRIENKE OR GALLARDO)
30 jan 2012 22:38:30
im getting sick of brandon inge who whines hes getting bumped out of the starting lineup....well whine all you want
im a tigers fan and never liked inge cause he whined his way into the lineup when the tigers got cabrera he whined and they moved cabrera to 1st....then now they moved cabrera back to third with the signing of fielder
well inge sucks and never was a good starter
heres the difference between inge and cabrera and tell me which one you would want?
- at bats:
cabrera: 572 (5041)
inge: 269 (4606)
- batting average=
cabrera: .344 (.317)
inge: .197 (.235)
- runs=
cabrera: 111 (852)
inge: 29 (525)
- hits=
cabrera: 197 (1597)
inge: 53 (1081)
- homeruns=
cabrera: 30 (277)
inge: 3 (139)
- runs batted in=
cabrera: 105 (984)
inge: 23 (587)
- stolen bases=
cabrera: 2 (29)
inge: 1 (45)
everything cabrera is in but career stolen bases
so sorry inge you suck and cabrera is better so you are bye bye Id take inge. LMFAO Why do you post cabrera's stats on defense at third too then ^Ok Inge is a good fielder but look at those stats. Offensive ablity is what teams pay the big bucks for you idiot. ^^^
thanks......i posted the post and i feel inge is a sorry player....if he wasnt on the tigers.....he would either be in the minors or not in baseball
if he wasnt on the tigers....name a team that would have him as the starter????
obviously inge is better fielder at third...cause hes played more there then cabrera has over the years....but the best young 3b when we got cabrera was cabrera but inge whined into having cabrera over to 3rd and so hes trying to do it again.......no sir....99.9% of fans would rather have cabrera then inge
if inge would be the catcher that we need him for...maybe ill keep him...inge is better at catcher anyways
inge played 8 seasons at 3b
cabrera played 5 seasons at 3b
so obviously inge would have better stats cause he had 3 more years of experiance at 3b
defense may win games but you cant have tie games in baseball....so you have to have offense and cabrera is wayyy better then inge
inge needs to go cause hes getting paid $6,000,000 and hes complaining he is getting bumped out of the lineup....well for 6 million dollars i will play off the bench....or at least be a utility player that can play at all positions but pitcher
but inge messes on the easy plays cause he wants to make them a great play when theres no need to showboat
heck ramon santiago is better then inge and hes not complaining
santiago had deals with other teams that couldve gave him more money and a starting job but santiago chose to stay in detroit with the chance of starting (i said chance cause we dont know who will be the starter at 2b)
santiago is better and always will be Whats sad is that dontrelle willis has a better career batting average then inge does???
willis: (.244)
inge: (.235)
thats a pitcher against a full time hitter
yeah willis has less at bats but still you should have a higher career average then a pitcher All i know is that cabrera at 3rd costs like 22 runs over a season...then again he probably easily surpasses that with his hitting Dontrelles OPS was 1.024 this season. He can out hit alot of position players.
30 Jan 2012 15:25:34
Not a rumor, just a thought ...Red Sox trade away both short-stops from 2011, maybe making room for Henley Rameriz? Jose Iglesias (I think that's his name)
Future shortstop there in Boston Yes he is, but he maybe still 1-2 years away...hes got a solid glove, but has been lacking with the stick..and we all know that the days of a shortstop just being defensive are long gone
29 Jan 2012 21:01:01
ANGELS METS TRADE
Mets Get
Bobby Abreu plus 6 million Dollars
That would mean the Mets would only pay 3 million
Angels get
Manny Acosta or Ramon Ramirez
Mets need someone for their offense and the Angels want another Relief Pitcher. I'm not to familiar with the Mets pitching system so tell me which one would be most likely please. Neither. mets dont want abreu Mets need domebody who can get on base and also a left hander who can hit at the top of the lineup
29 jan 2012 10:47:29
ok i looked at the catching depth charts for all 30 mlb teams and i would like to put my top 10 best catching core (not just the starting catcher.....the 3 catcher rotation has to have 3 good players....not just 1)
------------------------------------
heres the 3 man catching rotation:
- ari= montero - blanco - tatum
- atl= mccann - ross - bethancourt
- bal= wieters - teagarden - hester
- bos= saltalamacchia - shoppach - lavarnway
- chc= soto - castillo - clevenger
- chw= pierzynski - flowers - gimenez
- cin= hanigan - mesoraco - navarro
- cle= santana - marson - pagnozzi
- col= hernandez - pacheco - nieves
- det= avila - liard - santos
- hou= snyder - quintero - castro
- kc= perez - pena - ramirez
- laa= iannetta - conger - wilson
- lad= ellis - treanor - bard
- mia= buck - hayes - sammons
- mil= lucroy - kottaras - rivera
- min= mauer - doumit - butera
- nym= thole - johnson - nickeas
- nyy= martin - cervelli - romine
- oak= suzuki - norris - donaoldson
- phi= ruiz - schneider - kratz
- pit= barajas - morales - mckenry
- sd= hundley - baker - grandal
- sf= posey - stewert - whiteside
- sea= olivo - jaso - moore
- stl= y. molina - cruz - hill
- tb= j. molina - labaton - chiranos
- tex= napoli - torrealba - martinez
- tor= arencibia - mathis - d'arnaud
- was= ramos - flores - maldonado
heres the 30 teams with 3 catchers each.....let me remind you im picking my top 10 catching core and not just whos first for each team
1) tex (napoli/torrealba/martinez)
2) min
(mauer/doumit/butera)
3) bos
(saltalamacchia/shoppach/lavarnway)
4) bal
(wieters/teagarden/hester)
5) laa
(iannetta/conger/wilson)
6) ari
(montero/blanco/tatum)
7) det
(avila/liard/santos)
8) nyy
(martin/cervelli/romine)
9) atl
(mccann/ross/bethancourt)
10) sea
(olivo/jaso/moore) Not sure how the best defensive catcher isnt in here. id take molina, anderson, and hill over olivo fand people anyday Ummmmi said above that im not just putting the best catching core out there for what the 1st catcher is...which is why yadier molina aint in my top 10
i said.....the best catching core that the 1st is one of the best (out of the 1st catchers), the 2nd one is one of the best (out of the 2nd catchers in the rotation) and the same with the 3rd one
i put the best overall 3 catching core in baseball....not just 1 What about Toronto's
they have two good power hitting catchers (Arencibia & d'Arnaud) and a great defensive cater in Mathis If victor was healthy the tigers would be atleast be top 3
i no he played mostly dh but still
29 Jan 2012 02:48:33
miami season:
sign yoenis cespedes
lineup:
c john buck
1b gaby sanchez
2b omar infante / emilio bonifacio
3b hanley ramirez
ss jose reyes
lf logan morrison
cf yoenis cespedes
rf mike stanton
rotation:
J. Johnson
M. Buehrle
R. Nolasco
A. Sanchez
C. Zambrano In my opinion, I feel as though there is no reason why Cespedes should go to Miami. The Marlins already have Stanton, Morrison, and Cohglan. All three positions filled and you guys dont have the Luxury of a DH so you would perminitly bench one.
I feel as though Cespedes should go to the Cubs. That team is going through a rebuild and I think this guy is perfect for them. He is young athletic and he can possibly be the next big thing. Also he reminds me of a Young Sammy Sosa only he is Cuban and isn't on PEDS I really like this, even though im a Braves fan, but I believe Miami will place Coghlan at CF, and let Cespedes be an off-the bench, adn clutch player for the Marlins, and Stanston will bat way higher in the lineup than 9th, Reyes will bat either 1st or 2nd
28 Jan 2012 22:46:45
Athletics get: Kyle Fansworth
Rays get: young prospect Brian Fuentes will do good for the A's this season as Closer then get traded at the deadline
28 jan 2012 21:50:07
i recently read that roy oswalt is close to signing with the cardinals....i like the cardinals alot but it went down a little with the pujols thing (so i like the angels more now...lol)
here would be the rotation of the cardinals if they get oswalt:
1) carpenter
2) wainright
3) oswalt
4) garcia
5a) westbrook
5b) lohse
westbrook and lohse will compete for the 5th spot and whoever loses will either be the long relief specialist ( i would say lohse is the odd man out) or be trade bait (maybe to the tigers)
det gets:
sp lohse or westbrook
(i would rather want westbrook)
stl gets:
of dirks
low level prospect
(nothing big...just a body to include in the trade)
--------------------------------
the main reason why i posted this post is that the tigers had offered roy oswalt a 1 yr $10 million dollar contract and he turned it down so he can play close to his home (missouri...so the cardinals) but he wont get nowhere near $10 million...hed be lucky if hed get $5 million.....so i think i missed an opportunity to win a world series with the tigers....the cardinals most likely wont win the series again so i believe oswalt shouldve signed with the tigers and if it didnt work out the tigers could trade him to the cardinals or just let him go in free agency
if he signed with the tigers:
1) verlander
2) fister
3) oswalt
4) scherzer
5a) porcello
5b) turner
porcello and turner will compete for the 5th starting pitching spot and whoever loses the battle will be the long relief or trade bait
maybe trade porcello or turner to aquire a second baseman
the most recent rumor are these two players:
- nym daniel murphy
- atl martin prado
i actually wouldnt mind either cause both are good and can play everywhere (but catcher or pitcher) and we need that Oswalt doesnt want to play in Detroit!
he already rejected their money ^^^
UMMM I KNOW THAT DURRRRR
WHICH IS WHY I WROTE:

UP IN THE POST....LOOK AT THE POST AGAIN AND YOUD SEE IT AGAIN He doesnt care about winning a ring. he wants to be close to home. plus if he doesnt sign in stl (i said if) pujols leaving hurts but not alot. berkman moves to first and beltran is in right. stl got their ace in waino back and stl should still make it to the playoffs in 2012
12 in 12 I agree....cardinals will be better cause they will have a better rotation then what they had in the playoffs that won them the world series
go cards Wrong every player cares about winning a ring
u play to win the game

5 Potential Trades The Yankees Should Pull Off.
Yankees Get: David Wright
Mets Get: Dellin Betances, Aj Burnett, Eduardo Nunez, And Cash.
Yankees Get: Domonic Brown & Jim Thome
Phillies Get: Dellin Betances, Nick Swisher, & A Mid Level Prospect
Yankees Get: Jayson Heyward
Braves Get: Dellin Betances, Eduardo Nunez, Francisco Cervelli, Ravel Santana, & a Mid Level Prospect.
Yankees Get: Billy Butler
Royals Get: Phil Hughes and A Mid Level Prospect
Yankees Get: Mark Trumbo
Angels Get: Phil Hughes & Adam Warren None of them will happen especially the Angels one, Trumbo is good and Hughes sucks I never knew you could trade the same player twice. Unless I didn't understand this right. You didn't understand it, I'm saying those are 5 deals they should try to pull off. All of them are actually good.....except the yankees and braves one
only getting heyward for all of them good prospects seems a little too much
i know heyward could become the next manny ramirez......but the yankees SHOULD NOT DO THE BRAVES ONE CAUSE THEY ARE GIVING UP ANOTHER TOP CATCHING PROSPECT FOR A OUTFIELDER WHO STRIKES OUT QUITE A BIT AND HAS YET PROVED HE CAN BE THE ANSWER THE YANKEES NEED
I LIKE HEYWARD BUT NOT AT THAT PRICE
THE BEST ONE OF THE 5 I THINK WOULD WORK OUT IS: THE OTHER 4
-------------------------------------
- THE 1ST ONE:
they get a much better fielding and average hitting wise (BATTING AVERAGE) in david wright rather then a-rod....so a-rod can go to DH cause he aint going to last in the field for much longer BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD PUT IN HUGHES INSTEAD OF BURNETT CAUSE BURNETT KIND OF SUCKS RIGHT NOW AND HUGHES STILL IS IN HIS PRIME SO HE CAN BOUNCE BACK
- THE 2ND ONE:
it gives the yankees a younger right field option and a power hitter who can split time at DH with andruw jones....both jones and thome can add 30 homeruns to the lineup that features 75% of older then 30 (adding thome would bring the average age up a bit but hes still one of the most feared power hitters in the game) and then they really dont give up alot that would hurt them
-THE FOURTH ONE:
they give up a former 18 game winner and a prospect that the yankees might not be able to use in the near future....hughes couldve been an ace on other teams but then he got hurt and is projected to be 3rd-5th starting pitcher..hughes is fighting for a spot in the rotation after the yankees got pineda and kuroda...so they can use hughes in a trade to get something they need...PLUS they get a good power hitting player who can even take over at 3B to move a-rod to DH...i like butler
- THE 5TH ONE:
i can actually see it to happen cause the angels right now dont have him in the starting lineup (BASED ON ESPN DEPTH CHARTS) and so they can trade trumbo to the yankees and get a good option for the 5th starter spot or long relief cause right now the yankees and angels rotation are very similar but hughes has a better shot to make the angels rotation
SO HERES MY RANK OF THESE 5 TRADES:
1) TRADE 5
2) TRADE 4
3) TRADE 2
4) TRADE 1
5) TRADE 3 ^
Trumbo is at a position in Lineup. He is going to be our Third Baseman this year. He wont be the full time starter but by the 2013 season he will be the full time 3B. Also Hughes had one lucky season and will never return to that. Also that trade wouldn't make sence for the Yankees. They have Texaira at First and A Roid at Third. I would say that all these trades are pretty much terrible. Well i see that.....but everybody is having the old guys play and not trumbo who couldve won the rookie of the year if he had hit like freddie freeman

hughes and burnett for pablo sandoval Why would the Giants trade an all star type of player that can drive in runs, what the Giants need, for two underachieving pitchers?

Phillies signed Pierre today...
Phillies get Chase Headley, Josh Spence, Edinson Volquez and top prospect.
Padres get Victorino and Polanco It's just a minor league depth signing Ierre will make the team he was a good white sox last year victorino will be traded Charlie Manuel isn't a fan of Victorino... Pierre still has something to add to a team too. Somethings brewing in the Phillies camp!!
