July 19, 200521 yr Lowell is the whole problem as repeated- no one wants him. 865221[/snapback] They do want him but they don't want to pay him so much
July 19, 200521 yr Lowell is the whole problem as repeated- no one wants him. 865221[/snapback] They do want him but they don't want to pay him so much 865230[/snapback] haha no they dont. They just want AJ and Marlins insist we include Lowell. Orioles would take AJ straight up in a second. Lowell is a throw in that the Fish are trying to get rid of.
July 19, 200521 yr Kind of uneventful show. TSwift's bold prediction: AJ to the White Sox, Lowell to stay put...
July 19, 200521 yr I'm amazed. They talked about every guy in majors except Juan Encarnacion, who could place CF for the Yankees better than most of the guys Boog and Gammons talked about. But then again we haven't heard Cashman having an interest in AJ either. Bizarre.
July 19, 200521 yr I didn't get on with my thinking outside the box trade idea: AJ and Mota for Hanley
July 19, 200521 yr Kind of uneventful show. TSwift's bold prediction: AJ to the White Sox, Lowell to stay put... 865236[/snapback] The PIT being out of the trade is pretty significant. But I agree with you on the prediction.
July 19, 200521 yr Kind of uneventful show. TSwift's bold prediction: AJ to the White Sox, Lowell to stay put... 865236[/snapback] Somehow if we can land Marte and (McCarthy and Everett) or (Rowand and Contreras) DONE! Take it and run
July 19, 200521 yr man sun of bitches left me on hold........ and im not talking 2 dan Leb-RETARD the whole show was useless he did nothing to impere my knowledge of baseball everything he said, we been talking about all day here...... what a waste my hour
July 19, 200521 yr I didn't get on with my thinking outside the box trade idea: AJ and Mota for Hanley 865243[/snapback] Should be AJ for Hanley straight up. Won't happen though.
July 19, 200521 yr phew.. lowell chances of staying clicked up from 10% to 15%.. 865246[/snapback] Yeah because nobody wants him and his contract.

But then again we haven't heard Cashman having an interest in AJ either. Bizarre. 865237[/snapback] i think the problem with the Yanks and the Fish is not that there's no interest, but simply that they have nothing to give back to us. notice that all of the people we're talking about getting in these deals (with the exception of Mark Redman) have been young, inexpensive, relatively major-league-ready players. who do the yanks have that fits that bill? Cano? the yanks feed on teams that have nothing left to play for with nothing better to do with their season than to save as much cash as possible. that's not us - at least, not yet. at the end of this road trip, it might be a different story.....

Take it and run 865245[/snapback] We aren't trading a MLB outfielder. It's gonna be either Anderson or Sweeney, our top 2 OF prospects.

Won't happen though. 865250[/snapback] The Marlins shouldnt have been greedy.. I heard there was an offer on the table which included Burnett for Hanley and Arroyo
July 19, 200521 yr Rowand and Gio Gonzalez for Burnett 865251[/snapback] Throw in Contreras and one of our top prospects

Won't happen though. 865250[/snapback] The Marlins shouldnt have been greedy.. I haard there was an offer on the table which included Burnett for Hanley and Arroyo 865256[/snapback] YEAH RIGHT. I would take Arroyo and Hanley for AJ in a heartbeat. That would improve our club.
July 19, 200521 yr phew.. lowell chances of staying clicked up from 10% to 15%.. 865246[/snapback] More like from 5% to 50%
July 19, 200521 yr I wish there was someway of getting Hanley Ramirez. An infield of LoDuca, Cabrera, Ramirez, Castillo, and Delgado is awesome. Outfield of Pierre, Hermida, and a FA OF (because we have money from Lowell/AGon/and Juan E.) would be awesome also.
July 19, 200521 yr You don't get it, no offense. Loria is not going to help the Red Sox and John Henry, even to his detriment. He'd rather take a lesser deal fom anyone else than enrich the guy who left him with this mess of a stadium deal and then d*mned him with feint praise during the Kevin Millar fiasco and after the World Series.

It's gonna be either Anderson or Sweeney, our top 2 OF prospects. 865255[/snapback] I think it will be McCarthy (as much promise as Penn), Contras (to ditch the salary), and then Anderson/sweeney

Outfield of Pierre, Hermida, and a FA OF (because we have money from Lowell/AGon/and Juan E.) would be awesome also. 865265[/snapback] Aguila could fill that last spot. He is ready to be a solid part in the majors.

He is ready to be a solid part in the majors. 865270[/snapback] Yeah but with Hermida and Ramirez starting that would be 2 rookies. We don't want a 3rd if we want to make the playoffs. Also, we would have a lot of money to spend on someone who is a lot better than Aguila. Getting Ramirez will never happen anyway- just a dream of mine.

July 19, 200521 yr Why the hell does everyone still think Hanley Ramirez is going anywhere? And with that said, forget Baltimore and go to Chicago. See if you can work Toronto back into the deal. See what you can get from those two. If we have to pay more than 3 million left on Lowell's contract I'd rather have him stay here and see what can happen then pay him to play for someone else. Enough of being other team's bank account.
