July 27, 200422 yr Finley has apparently told the DBacks that he will not waive his no-trade clause for a team on the east coast. :mad :
July 27, 200422 yr Author I beat ya to it! 478377[/snapback] watching ESPN News too, i see....man it was a bummer, i saw Finley's face come up with "this just in" after it, and i thought the deal was done.....
July 27, 200422 yr I told you guys he planned to resign with Arizona next season. He is going to be a rental ala Randall Simon/Pirates.
July 27, 200422 yr Good. Once I read he would only play CF I no longer wanted him. At least the Phils can't get him. I still say we see if Texas would trade Teixeira/RP for Penny/Nunez.
July 27, 200422 yr i really dont see the rangers trading Tex. they may move him to the outfield....or they may end up moving him to DH, or using a 4 man rotation in the outfield ultimately.
July 27, 200422 yr i really dont see the rangers trading Tex. they may move him to the outfield....or they may end up moving him to DH, or using a 4 man rotation in the outfield ultimately. 478406[/snapback] They have a lot of good young hitters and some good ones in the minors. They basically have no good, young pitching. Penny is a Texas boy and might help them appeal to some locals. You never know... :whistle
July 27, 200422 yr Author You never know... :whistle 478414[/snapback] umm....yes you do....ain't happening.
July 27, 200422 yr You never know... :whistle 478414[/snapback] umm....yes you do....ain't happening. 478418[/snapback] Well, if the reports of them being willing to trade him for Russ Ortiz a couple weeks ago are true, yes, I do. They'd take Penny over Ortiz in a second.

Oklamhoma and Texas are two entirely different regions....and to say it would help appeal to locals is not exactly true. The Rangers are not having problems with attendance this year anyway...amazing what winning will do for you.
July 27, 200422 yr The Finley is NOT dead, Florida is trying to work on a three team deal with Arizona and San Diego. Mike Berardino had mention it today. I'll fill in the holes. Finley would go to San Diego and Ryan Klesko to Florida. Finley was a long shot from the begin because he never really wanted to leave the West Coast. Florida would NOT have to give up Stokes in the deal, which something they been trying to avoid. I stuck neck out this week, but I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. I jump the gun on something I thought was done. As far as the deal I don't like it at all. :thumbdown ...unless there more in return with Klesko maybe a RP.
July 27, 200422 yr I told you guys he planned to resign with Arizona next season. He is going to be a rental ala Randall Simon/Pirates. 478389[/snapback] what does this have to do with anything? we may only be looking for a rental anyway.
July 27, 200422 yr No thanks. Get Bautista, or a catcher or bullpen help. If the Phillies aren't adding Finley, I'm not too concerned. And good to hear we don't want to give up Stokes.
