Fishfan79 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Alright, I an not condoning we trade AJ. Specially within our current situation that puts us a few games out of the wild card. We really need to pick it up and win these last 4 games. Coming off a great game like last night maybe we can. But, the Boston Red Sox as reported on ESPN radio this morning are once more interested in a top of the line pitcher. Jason Schimidt of the Giants and AJ Burnett were the two names tossed about. Now Schimidt isnt going anywhere as it seems the Giants think they can win it next year with bonds back. AJ is a free agent so he was named the likely canidate With Schilling going into the pen they need a top of the line number 1 type starter. Now comes the question, do we sell high with the Tigers, Yanks, O's, Bosox, and Rangers after him. (Rangers are always after pitching). Do we hold him till the last moment of the trade deadline to see where we are? Or if we can get ourselves Hanely Rameriez, Bransen Aroylo, and perhaps a bat or Timlin. Do we sell now? That would give us a replacement, a great prospect for next year and another help off the bench or in the bullpen. My person opinion is hold out longer and see what we can get. If we make a run all of a sudden then dont even worry about selling for more talent. We need still to get 1 more guy in the pen and pick up a good solid bat though.

Fish Tank Frenzy Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 ^^^^^^^^^^^ Great Sig :lol If we trade AJ I say get as much in return as possible...I like the Orioles offer so far if that were true...I also like the idea of getting Sheff back.

Flag Man Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 FO needs to move. But, having moved, they need field management. And that's not Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japa Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 The Red Sox are not likely to trade Ramirez. Yes they have Renteria but they've been thinking about switching Ramirez to second base or maybe even center field if Damon doesn't come back. Also they would not give up Timlin, he's been the only reliable guy in their bullpen this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I thought Edgar was gonna switch positions if and when Hanley came up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Z Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well Millar is on the block and he can play LF..We could trade A.J for Arroyo and Millar,and then stick Millar in left and put Cabs at 3rd :whistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG Z Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 heck no 844055[/snapback] The problem with some of you guys is that you want an entire team with all their prospects for A.J. and imo that ain't happening,Hanley Ramirez,and Bronson Arroyo?Get outta here!that issh ain't going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
