sppunk Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Let's post all rumors/tidits/etc from the meetins up in Dallas here. I have several buddies who are working the meetings, so I'll be able to drop some one-liners they send my way. First off the bat: Boston looking at a Clement/Nixon for Abreau deal with Philly. But then, Texas came up with a Clement/Soriano deal. I don't want that guy (Soriano) unless he agrees to play the OF. If he does, great. If not, I'm out.

cheaptrick77 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I like the one I read in this morning's Dallas Morning News: Kevin Mench and Adrian Gonzalez to Pittsburgh for Oliver Perez. BTW -- The Mets have spent way, way, WAY too much money & will remain a middle-tier team ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWMustang Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 what's the salary trade off for Nixon/Clement for Abreu? What's in it for Philly to make that deal? I still scratch my head wondering why Boston went after Clement. I think Boston is going to have to eat some of that contract if they want to move him.

sppunk Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Philly needs pitching worse than most teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWMustang Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I guess, but why drastically overpay for it with Clement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like an awesome trade. They should jump on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog7 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I dont see why we have to give up A Gon AND Mench just for one pitcher. We should get Oliver and a prospect for that much. I could see maybe just Mench for Oliver. I wish Pitt would fall back in love with Laynce Nix, so we could dump him. Heres the one that stumps me....Barry Zito for Milton Bradley and two prospects.

Oh, there would definitely be a Pirates prospect in the deal .......... those were just the three "big names" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YosemiteSam Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Originally posted by sppunkI don't want that guy (Soriano) unless he agrees to play the OF. If he does, great. If not, I'm out. Why, would you have a problem with Soriano at 2B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sppunk Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Originally posted by YosemiteSamWhy, would you have a problem with Soriano at 2B? Because he is a defensive liability I don't want to watch/mess with day-in and day-out. Of course, I'd rather have a pitcher that will win more games than he loses than a 2B that can't hit lefties or anything with an arc to it.

Twentytwo Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Sppunk, once again you are wrong, or you need to reword your sentence. If Soriano cannot hit lefties he cannot hit righties either. Last year he hit .257 against lefties .272 against righties. Over the last three year he has hit .278 against lefties and .280 against righties.

Seminole44 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 looks like the Blue Jays just signed A.J. Burnett....5 yrs 55 million.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie2008 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I really like Mench...he's kind of the spirit of that team. I'd rather have a hustler like Mench who gets the job done than a guy like Manny Ramirez any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sppunk Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Few more things concerning my Red Sox: Boston and Pittsburgh are talking about a Trot Nixon for Kip Wells deal. Boston's Doug Mirabelli for San Diego's Mark Loretta is virtually a done deal. And a Texas gem: Looking at Juan Pierre for Danks and an unnamed infielder in the minors.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown: This kind of thing is why the Rangers fail as an organization every year. Better not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CNOrtega Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 As I stated in another thread, Danks and Diamond should be on the untouchable list. Add Michael Young to that list, and everyone else in the organization is tradeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase.colston Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 A.J. Burnett and the Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a five-year $55 million contract today. A lot of money ($11 million per year) for a guy whose best record was 12-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sppunk Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 From Gammons' insider (and confirmed by a buddy): David Wells to Oakland for Justin Duchscherer. I LOVE THIS DEAL IF IT HAPPENS. Load up that bullpen!!! Also, looks like Millwood to Seattle at $44/4 is a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seminole44 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 hey sppunk, renteria would do good for atlanta i think, get back in the NL...i think he had a down year last year, but who would the Bo Sox take from us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsn03 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Originally posted by wagglerightany news about the astros? Their hands are really tied until Clemens finally decides, if he goes they have some money to spend, if not they have little or none to spend.
