Rangers making strong push for cantu
You guys are delusional if you think we can get Ogando for Cantu. If Cantu does indeed get traded to the Rangers I expect it will be for 2 C to C+ level prospects Prospects like: Neil Ramirez, Tim Murphy, Richard Bleier, Shawn Blackwell, Trevor Hurley, Matt Thompson

Marlins Rumors: Pinto, Lindstrom, Nunez
Neal just finished A+, I don't know how you can say that is MLB ready. His AFL wasn't that great either, .284/.384/.392? It's less than 100 PA, but very nice? He's not a bad prospect. But that's the best piece you can get for Uggla? He is SF's top prospect after Madison, Posey, and Wheeler (who is to young to trade). I don't know if he is centerpiece quality. He is a 2nd guy to add to a package. Just like Runzler, another 2nd guy to add to a package. Combined, they still don't make it to a "centerpiece" piece for Uggla. I don't know.... I believe Neal is a legit B prospect and Runzler I would say is a B- because of iffy control. Combined I believe they do equal center piece quality. The way I see it we are getting we are getting: Neal = better version of Scott Cousins Runzler = better version of Daniel Jennings A.King/Crawford/Noonan = Brad Hand/Jake Smolinski type I would be happy for the above ^ package in exchange for Uggla. Maybe we can also ask for Roger Kieschnick or Waldis Jacquin to be that 3rd piece but doubt the Giants will go that far.

Marlins Rumors: Pinto, Lindstrom, Nunez
#Marlins Rays remain the team I keep hearing for Lindstrom. http://twitter.com/JoeFrisaro I can see Lindstrom being traded for (LHP) David Newmann. If we get something better than that from Tampa I will pleasantly surprised.

News on Johnson Contract Talks
I'm not that much upset about the fact of trading JJ after the contract breaking down. It's the thought of DA Yankees getting JJ which disgusts me. If we can't agree to a deal, and the "DA Yankees" want to offer http://riveraveblues.com/2009/11/going-after-the-big-fish-20278/... then goodbye, JJ. Totally agree. Especially for something like P.Hughes, J.Montero, Manny Banuelos, and Arodys Vizcaino/Zach McAllister for Johnson

40-man roster decisions on tap
What about Logan Morrison and Jose Ceda? I believe both are eligible

Marlins chase relievers
I don't see Weathers as much of an upgrade to be honest. The ERA is solid but nothing else is.

Trade Rumors
Guys please stop mentioning Sherrill because for one he is overrated and two he will cost us alot more than Fuentes, think Morrison, Coughlan, and Andino or something like that. Trade winds Scouts from the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers, the two most aggressive suitors for Orioles closer George Sherrill, attended last night's game. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, Florida Marlins and Detroit Tigers were also among the teams represented. With second baseman Brian Roberts unlikely to be traded during the season, Sherrill has become the club's biggest trade chip, attracting inquiries from nearly 10 teams. A source with knowledge of the Orioles' thinking said the club is looking for two, if not three prospects in return for the reliever. If Sherrill, 31, is traded, it will likely be just before the July31 nonwaiver trade deadline. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/basebal...0,1048863.story

Trade Rumors
This is hilarious... Bay: The Pirates are asking for four players back -- two sure-thing young players, one good prospect and a fourth prospect with upside. Nady: A similar package, except they want three players instead of four -- one sure thing, one good prospect and a third, more iffy, prospect. Marte: The Pirates seem confident he'll be a Type A free agent, so they're telling teams they need to do better than the first-round pick and sandwich pick they'd get if he walks. Grabow: Because Grabow can't be a free agent until after next season, the Pirates are looking for a similar package on him as they're asking on Marte. Wilson: One rumor -- heavily denied -- is that they asked the Dodgers for Matt Kemp and/or Chad Billingsley for Wilson. But everyone agrees they want two or three players, depending on who they are, all of whom have to be big-league ready. The Pirates are free to ask for whatever they want, obviously. But many teams find it tough to stomach the rationale behind placing that kind of price sticker on somebody like Marte. "It may be true that Marte will wind up being a Type A," says an official of one club. "But isn't it possible that because he's a Type A, no one is going to want to sign him? Is a team really going to want to give up a first-round pick for Damaso Marte? I think that answer may be no. So I don't know if it's as reasonable to ask what they're asking for him as they think it is." At this point I rather not make any deals.

Marlins in pursuit of Fuentes
Indications are that the Phillies, Rays, Marlins, Angels, Cardinals, Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox all maintain some level of interest in Fuentes. But they've gotten down to specific name-swapping with only a couple of those teams -- believed to be the Marlins and Yankees -- and neither has made it past the shopping-list phase. O'Dowd continues to tell other teams that if they're not willing to cough up a top-of-the-line prospect and a secondary player, he'll happily hang onto Fuentes and take his two compensation picks. And that price hasn't wavered even a smidgeon. So an official of one interested team says: "I think their plan is to take him right to the deadline and see who blinks at the end"

Huston Street
I wonder if our two Gabys would work. I doubt it, but if that's all it took I would do the deal. Just throwing out a crazy idea out there but what about a Dan Uggla for Houston Street, Gio Gonzalez, Mark Ellis. -Gio Gonzalez can go straight to our bullpen and he has always been tough on lefties I believe. -Houston Street can become our closer/set-up -Mark Ellis is a stop gap, though he is in a pretty big slump right now, he is a free agent at the end of the year and we either will get 2 picks or 1 for him as long as we offer him arbitration. Again just a crazy idea, zero chance of it happening but just throwing it out there Is this the Gio Gonzalez from Pace? Yes sir

I say pass. Beane would likely want 2/3 from Vanden Hurk, Tucker, West, G. Sanchez, Raynor, Morrison, Dominguez. To be honest I think I rather just keep the prospects and when Anibal Sanchez comes back stick Vanden Hurk in the pen. I don't think Vanden Hurk is MLB ready starter but do think he MLB as a reliver.

Could we actually keep this team intact next season?
2009 team C Baker/Treanor/ trade 1B Cantu/G. Sanchez 2B Uggla/Coughlan 3B McPherson/Uggla SS Ramirez LF Raynor/Ross CF Maybin/Ross I think we should have a RF, no? lol forgot Hermida

I think we can keep the core intact but don't think we can keep everybody nor do I want them to. Guys who can IMO: Williangham, Jacobs, J.Miller, Gardner, Olsen 2009 team C Baker/Treanor/ trade 1B Cantu/G. Sanchez 2B Uggla/Coughlan 3B McPherson/Uggla SS Ramirez LF Raynor/Ross CF Maybin/Ross RF Hermida Starters 5 (in no order) Johnson Noalsco Miller Sanchez Voldstad Bullpen (this is the most difficult to predict) Gregg Pinto Tucker ?? ?? ?? I think we can have a pretty sexy team for 33-40 mil or maybe even slightly less.
