June 2, 200719 yr just call up Jacoby Ellsb.... f*** Who did the Sox want from us? Maybe somehow we can kidnap him. What kind of deal would it take? I bet Cody Ross and couple prospects would do it... Maybe Sinkbeil Ross Tucker Considering Sink's injury problems, Tucker's lack of control and the fact Ross ain't much.. no Jacoby would easily cost us Volstad or Thompson+ then again, the Sox have no reason to move Jacoby
June 2, 200719 yr I dont know why no body is talking about a guy that we prob have the best chance to get. Willy Taveras is having a great year. I know some of you guys dont like him but i think he fits here perfect. A CF with good speed will bat lead off and is the guy that we can trade for with out giving up a lot. I would love to get Baldelli but that would cost a lot b/c its Tampa. Rios would the most. Lofton to old and next year he wont be here and then the search for a CF begins again next year. Taveras batting Avg is .322 and OBP is .385 and 13 SB/ if you guys look at his home avg .296 (in colorado) .347 on the road. Reyes OBP is .396 and Hanley is .390 His first year in houstom he batted .291 (good) 34 SB and his 2nd year he batted .278 (not that bad) 33 SB I think he is our best option involving a trade (that wont cost us the world and he is better then alfredo/reggie/de aza)
June 2, 200719 yr He's Juan Pierre v 2.0. His OBP is entirely dependent on his AVG. And AVG fluctuates too much. Actually, he's walking a bit more this year, which I like. If he could cut down on the caught stealing he may work, but he's not the future. If we could get him for cheap I wouldn't mind, but he has no power at all...
June 2, 200719 yr I dont know why no body is talking about a guy that we prob have the best chance to get. Willy Taveras do u really think colorado got him, just to trade him away. you said it yourself, hes having a good season, why would colorado want to trade him now. they got him to be the future CF.
June 2, 200719 yr The reason why colorado would trade him is for the same reason other bad teams trade players. ( they got no chance this year.) Rockies are always going to need pitching and thats the reason they would trade him.

June 2, 200719 yr can someone PLEASE tell me why they think Rocco Baldelli is special? hes injured 98% of the time, and isnt that much better of what we already have. Well when he is healthy he is better than 98% of all other CF
June 3, 200719 yr I am kind of glad this game is not on TV. Capuano with 7 K's thru 3??? Yea, I'm going to enjoy Office Space a lot more.

June 3, 200719 yr When I say I don't care what position he plays I'm saying it in the figurative sense but I don't care who they get as long as he bats behind Cabrera and provides him the protection he needs to hit the .350 and 30+ HRs he's capable of. Someone who strikes fear into the heart of other pitching rotations, someone who commands respect, someone who forces opposing pitchers to actually pitch to Miggy. Left, center, right. First base, catcher. Aside from Uggla, and Ramirez of course, I have no problem throwing anyone under the bus if it means Cabrera starts seeing hittable pitches on a consistent basis.

Any names pop into mind. Strikes fear into the heart of pitchers. I don't think there's any catchers that fit that job description that would be traded. Not sure there's any first basemen or outfielders either. But if you have someone in mind that fits the bill, and the price is right, which means lint in Loria's pocket...please share.
June 3, 200719 yr can someone PLEASE tell me why they think Rocco Baldelli is special? hes injured 98% of the time, and isnt that much better of what we already have. Well when he is healthy he is better than 98% of all other CF Heres the list of current CFs...id like you to show me the 25 players that Baldelli is better than. Bal- Corey Patterson TB-Eli Dukes Tor- Vernon Wells NYY- Jon Damon Bos- CoCo Crisp Cle- Grady Sizemore Det- Curtis Granderson Min- Torri Hunter KC-David DeJuses CHW- Luis Terrero Ana- Gary Matthews Oak- Mark Kotsay Tex- Kenny Lofton Sea- Ichiro Atl- Andruw Jones Fla- yeah NYM- Carlos Beltran Phi- Aaron Rowand Was- Nook Logan Stl- Jim Edmonds Mil- Bill Hall Hou- Hunter Pence Cin- Ryan Freel Pit- Chris Duffy Chc- Alfonso Soriano Col- Willy Taveras SF- Randy Winn LA- Juan Pierre SD- Mike Cameron AZ- Chris Young and Eric Brynes u said 98%, which is 28 teams. Theres no way Baldelli is a top 2 Cf, i dont think he is even top 15. but feel free and make me wrong
June 3, 200719 yr Pierre, Winn, Tavares, Edmonds, Duffy, Logan...I dont think Terrero and Kotsay are their team's respective starting CF, I know Terrero isnt...Crisp, Duffy, Cameron and Lofton in the here and now, and Patterson
June 3, 200719 yr and Soriano plays LF Rocco falls in after (and in no order here) Vernon Wells, Ichiro, Beltran, Sizemore, Torrii Hunter
June 3, 200719 yr and Soriano plays LF Rocco falls in after (and in no order here) Vernon Wells, Ichiro, Beltran, Sizemore, Torrii Hunter Rocco is not better than Andruw Jones.

Well when he is healthy he is better than 98% of all other CF Ichiro, Hunter, Rowand, others? Forgot Grady Sizemore I thinl Rocco is a bit better than Wells BTW Andruw Jones as great as he has been has dropped back to the pack defensively and offensively...He is still is a good player but the shine is wearing off
June 3, 200719 yr BTW Andruw Jones as great as he has been has dropped back to the pack defensively Actually, so far, this is his best season defensively since 2003.
June 3, 200719 yr how can you guys say rocco is better than andruw and or vernon wells. thats just stupidity as its greatest. didnt andruw just hit his 350th homer. whats rocco got? 12.
June 3, 200719 yr Fox actually if you look at the numbers considering difference in number of games played Wells and Baldelli's stats are very similar. I just feel that Baldelli has a higher ceiling and hasn't tapped into his full potential
June 3, 200719 yr Fox actually if you look at the numbers considering difference in number of games played Wells and Baldelli's stats are very similar. I just feel that Baldelli has a higher ceiling and hasn't tapped into his full potential Except Rocco spends more time on the DL than he does on the field. Wells is a lot better because he can actually stay healthy for an entire season. I'd take Wells in a heartbeat. And in that heartbeat, Rocco would have gone and come off the DL atleast 8 times.

Bal- Corey Patterson TB-Eli Dukes - Better 1 Tor- Vernon Wells NYY- Jon Damon - Better 2 Bos- CoCo Crisp - Better 3 Cle- Grady Sizemore = Best in the game Det- Curtis Granderson = Better 4 Min- Torri Hunter (is over-rated but better) KC-David DeJuses = Better 5 CHW- Luis Terrero = Better 6 Ana- Gary Matthews = Better7 Oak- Mark Kotsay = Better 8 Tex- Kenny Lofton = Better 9 Sea- Ichiro Atl- Andruw Jones Fla- yeah = Better 10 NYM- Carlos Beltran Phi- Aaron Rowand = Better 11 Was- Nook Logan = Better 12 Stl- Jim Edmonds = Better 13 Mil- Bill Hall = Better 14 Hou- Hunter Pence = Better 15 Cin- Ryan Freel = Better 16 Pit- Chris Duffy = Better 17 Chc- Alfonso Soriano (he is a LF not a CF), Better then Cubs CF 18 Col- Willy Taveras = Better 19 SF- Randy Winn = Better 20 LA- Juan Pierre = Better 21 SD- Mike Cameron = Better 22 AZ- Chris Young and Eric Brynes = Better 23 u said 98%, which is 28 teams. Theres no way Baldelli is a top 2 Cf, i dont think he is even top 15. but feel free and make me wrong 23 of 28, if Baldelli is healthy then he is better then potentially. Debatable the potentials for one of the other like Pence and Young which are better long term. But he is a top 10 CF in baseball if he would be healthy but the price for him would be far too much and would he be healthy? Rather get BJ Upton.
