Posted July 3, 200420 yr Its a sure thing that a trade or two will be coming soon...this team is built to win, its just missing a few pieces... Anybody heard any rumors? I'm assuming the latest was the rumor on WQAM and from Teal Shadow that a deal is in progress (supposedly) for Matt Lawton of the Indians.... He'd be the trick for the 3rd hole
July 3, 200420 yr Author yea teal man mentioned it and someone else here on the boards mentioned in a seperate thread also
July 3, 200420 yr Author The Marlins are in negotiations to acquire a Bat.I didn't catch the player name because my nephews were running around playing.It sounded like it was a done deal because they were giving props to Beinfest.I heard it on Mad Dog show that was being host by Curtis Stevens since Mad Dog took a day off. 433469[/snapback] I was just e-mail that the Marlins are talkin to Indians about Matt Lawton? I don't know if this is true. I need time to research this, but I thought I'd post it anyways. Also the to add to last night, Teixeira to the Braves. It appear the Braves will wait until there lefty Horacio Ramirez comes off the DL. It works for them two folds, because for one it lets them see what they have in Byrd. Plus they could be buyers rather then sellers. 433554[/snapback] I think qam reported that it was matt lawton 433610[/snapback]
July 3, 200420 yr FishFaninPA is reporting Nu?ez, Borland, and Castro for Ryan and cash. I have nothing further. 437851[/snapback] :lol
July 3, 200420 yr Sadly enough this team needs a trade for their heads more than anything. And if that person isn't the savior as they hoped they will be right back to where we are now
July 3, 200420 yr Author wah wah wah ok so we suck right now this teams SP will keep us in it for most of the season by itself
July 3, 200420 yr wah wah wah ok so we suck right now this teams SP will keep us in it for most of the season by itself 437924[/snapback] yea it will keep us........... out of contention. seriously, how much longer do we have to wait for everyone to get out of their slumps? something needs to happen. we need to acquire an established bat and or an established bullpen arm ASAP. mckeon needs to get in these guys faces ,i dont know what, but he has to do something. this team can't keep falling in the standings like this. our pitching is great, but they cant pitch 1-2 run gems every night as seen tonight. pavano kept us in the game & we couldnt even score more than 2 runs!
July 3, 200420 yr rumor or not this would be a sick trade Lawton would fit in perfectly into that 3 hole ... the man has good speed as well 317-12-46
July 3, 200420 yr rumor or not this would be a sick trade Lawton would fit in perfectly into that 3 hole ... the man has good speed as well 317-12-46 438205[/snapback] Yeah it would, but it's all going to come down to the money left on his contract and getting the Indians to eat a lot of the remaining contract is going to take a whole lot especially considering the Indians are still are in contention in the AL central.
July 3, 200420 yr hey Mave, might want to take Tejara outta your sig. he already proved himself back to AAA =] tho Wayne should be freed.
July 3, 200420 yr Author yea, lawton would be a perfect fit for PPS also with his speed although he does have some power i also think i remember someone saying they have talent in the minors ready to play the big league OF
July 3, 200420 yr yea, lawton would be a perfect fit for PPS also with his speed although he does have some power cleveland might not need lawton though because they have sanchez leading off and hafner and martinez driving in the runs i also think i remember someone saying they have talent in the minors ready to play the big league OF 438226[/snapback] who the heck is Sanchez? ... you might be mistaken for the Sanchez in detroit ... either way Clev can do without Lawton since that would give coco a full shot as the starting CF and move Gerut to LF
July 3, 200420 yr Cleveland Indians GM said he is unlikely to give up major league players to help other teams. The Indians are also now in contention with a .500 record. Looks like the marlins will have to look elsewhere... :mischief2
July 3, 200420 yr Author yea, lawton would be a perfect fit for PPS also with his speed although he does have some power cleveland might not need lawton though because they have sanchez leading off and hafner and martinez driving in the runs i also think i remember someone saying they have talent in the minors ready to play the big league OF 438226[/snapback] who the heck is Sanchez? ... you might be mistaken for the Sanchez in detroit ... either way Clev can do without Lawton since that would give coco a full shot as the starting CF and move Gerut to LF 438232[/snapback] haha my bad i always do that yea sanchez is in detroit, wtf was i saying
July 3, 200420 yr Lawton's makin about $7mil or so this year if we could get him for a prospect or 2, this could help the Indians too they want to go out and get another starter and with some cleared payroll they could do so
July 3, 200420 yr rumor or not this would be a sick trade Lawton would fit in perfectly into that 3 hole ... the man has good speed as well 317-12-46 438205[/snapback] Yeah it would, but it's all going to come down to the money left on his contract and getting the Indians to eat a lot of the remaining contract is going to take a whole lot especially considering the Indians are still are in contention in the AL central. 438206[/snapback] But do they need a first base prospect? :mischief2
July 3, 200420 yr But wouldn't Stokes be a perfect DH. I heard his defense was shaky. 438366[/snapback] Travis Hafner is actually doin pretty good for them. He'd DH for them
July 3, 200420 yr But wouldn't Stokes be a perfect DH. I heard his defense was shaky. 438366[/snapback] Nah, Stokes is a future gold glover. The kid has 40-40 potential and has an advanced batting eye for his age. Ray Castro has immense talent, if only he could crack the starting lineup. And that Nunez kid is the next Babe Ruth. You hear me major league GMs?
July 3, 200420 yr Lawton's makin about $7mil or so this year if we could get him for a prospect or 2, this could help the Indians too they want to go out and get another starter and with some cleared payroll they could do so 438294[/snapback] I'm sure Beinfest isn't worried about what he's making this year. The 7 million Lawton is owed for next year is what could stop this from happening.
