it was posted on a Cubbies board by a person who has posted trades before.... apprently he is "in the know"

 

the deal

 

Marlins get: Kelton, Hill, Cruz, Smyth

 

Cubs get:Phelps, Lowell, Castillo,and ptbnl from SF

 

Giants get:Grudzelaniek

 

supposdely this should happen by Friday

 

I hope to God this isnt true......

 

*now removing all sharp objects from my house*

Kelton who?

 

Cruz who?

 

Hill who?

 

Smyth who?

Dave Kelton 1b/3b/possible corner OF

 

Bobby Smith 2nd base.... alot of potential

 

Juan Cruz...very good stuff(pitcher)

 

Steve Smyth(meh as a pitcher)

 

 

I just hope this is a hoax but supposedly this guy has posted true trades before.... :banghead

I only hope the Marlins pursue Vlad if they trade Lowell..

here is the link to the thread....it's pretty damn long

Trade Rumor

If the Marlins do that trade.. Lamar would be smarter than Beinfest :mischief2

Unless the PTBNL is Jesse Foppert or Jerome Williams or their other stud SP prospect(Boonser I think) that's a terrible deal for you guys

 

Castillo is worth more than Hill

 

Lowell is worth more than Cruz AND Kelton in all likelyhood

 

Steve Smyth is not exactly a great prospect...

I totally agree and I think it is bogus, but this poster is kinda like the "dawg" of their board....

 

got me kinda worried

hmm the guy thinks Tommy Phelps comes from Korea?

 

check the start of the thread in the link ramp posted if you don't know what I am talking about..

yea i saw it.... Phelps was born there

Phelps

What the hell is this, besides Cruz it's all slop. Bobby Hill can't even stay in the majors, the Cubs keep sending him down. I don't know much about Kelton...

 

Castillo AND Lowell is too much to give up in this deal. They could get Cruz in a package for Mike Lowell alone.

 

Insanity. They can't be this desparate to clear cash. I know it's a good bet that Lowell's a goner, but don't blow the whole wad in one crappy deal!

all I know is that my heart will be beating a mile a minute every time i hear something with the Fish until Friday.....

yea i saw it.... Phelps was born there

Phelps

WHOA! I had no idea about that...father must have been in the army.......

 

If this was the offer for ONE of Castillo/Lowell it would be a OK deal for you guys..but both? :o

What the hell is this, besides Cruz it's all slop.? Bobby Hill can't even stay in the majors, the Cubs keep sending him down.? I don't know much about Kelton...

 

Castillo AND Lowell is too much to give up in this deal.? They could get Cruz in a package for Mike Lowell alone.

I agree.....The Marlins better get in return at least get 2 top prospect for 2 all stars...
