February 10, 200521 yr Seeing most us feel AJ is gone by the end of the season. Why not explore ways of moving him for equal value. Burnett to D'backs Vazquez to the Brewers Sheets to the Marlins The brewers get a young 2# starter in Vazquez who's signed for a few more years The D'backs get Burnett who they've wanted for a while and the Fish get a young 2# starter who you could offer that 3/22-24 mil deal JMO be gentle... :lol
February 10, 200521 yr I'd love it, but problem is I'm sure the Brewers feel that they would be able to get much more quality and quantity for Shheets come trade deadling
February 10, 200521 yr hmm.. interesting but why would Milwaukee want to take Vazquezs contract 682167[/snapback] They Wouldn't which is why I say AJ for Ben straight up maybe a couple of prospects thrown in on each side :beer :chair

February 10, 200521 yr hey, if this gets it done, then of course i'd do it no reason why the brewers would do this trade, they can get much more in return
February 10, 200521 yr Author I'd love it, but problem is I'm sure the Brewers feel that they would be able to get much more quality and quantity for Shheets come trade deadling 682154[/snapback] I'm sure 'Zona would have to throw in a prospect or two
February 10, 200521 yr :notworthy I would love to see Ben Sheets in a Marlins uniform... very talented, and if you give him some run support... almost a guaranteed 20 game winner... and vasz and burnett are good... so the matter is just some prospects here and there...
February 11, 200521 yr hey, if this gets it done, then of course i'd do it no reason why the brewers would do this trade, they can get much more in return 682190[/snapback] agreed
February 11, 200521 yr How old is sheets and how long is is contact :headscratch and how much does he get paid?
February 11, 200521 yr Author How old is sheets and how long is is contact :headscratch and how much does he get paid? 682296[/snapback] He's a free agent at season end, he was in the same draft as Beckett. The Brewers have and WILL shop him before the trade deadline. They want to get something for him. The Reds offered Kearns, Brewers want pitching pitching pitching
February 11, 200521 yr He's not a free agent until after the 2006 season. He would be a great pickup. We could send AJ and Stokes for Sheets.
February 11, 200521 yr Say we are in are in the hunt, what would we have to give up to get him. Do we have any good pitching prospects that they would want?
February 11, 200521 yr I'd love to have Sheets, but I think AJ can not only produce better but will be slightly easier to resign when time comes. Plus, we would have less competition to resign Burnett than to trade for/resign Sheets.
February 11, 200521 yr Say we are in are in the hunt, what would we have to give up to get him. Do we have any good pitching prospects that they would want? 682303[/snapback] Definitely Olsen and Bazardo. Many scouts believe Olsen is one of the top young lefty arms in the minors... and Bazardo has an outstanding fastball. Maybe Vargas or Tankersley can do well next season and become top prospects. The other thing is we could always send a pitcher to the Brewers and Stokes and someone else to a third team... and that team can send the Brewers a top pitching prospect. So we'd essentially give up Olsen/Bazardo (but not both), Stokes, and a third player for Sheets. Since he's not a free agent until after 2006, this trade would make sense. We'd give up a potential spot in the 2006 rotation, but we'd fill that with Sheets... all the while we have him for the playoff run. :thumbup
February 11, 200521 yr Author He's not a free agent until after the 2006 season. He would be a great pickup.? We could send AJ and Stokes for Sheets. 682301[/snapback] Are you sure?

"They will try to kick the tires on A.J. Burnett and others, but there are no games scheduled in January. They have until April to get one more starter, then try to get into the summer bidding for a potential free agent like Burnett or Ben Sheets," http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/gammons/story?id=1946349 682313[/snapback] Gammons is wrong. Again, he's talking out of his ass. Sheets has four years of Major League service. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?statsId=6618

So he's not untouchable
February 11, 200521 yr Brewers have new ownership as do the Diamondbacks. You may want to keep this in mind.

February 11, 200521 yr What I really want is for Jason Stokes to bust out this coming year and just have a monster season... so we can trade him along with another player for a top pitcher, if possible. Getting sheets would be outstanding.
