Posted November 10, 200717 yr Hey everyone not sure if you guys remember me I am an Astros fan living in Miami that lurks here and occasionally posts here. Anyways all of this talk about the Marlins looking to possibly trade Willis and Cabrera got me thinking of how nice it would be to see them in Astro uniforms. I came up with a hypothetical trade situation and wanted to see what you guys thought about it. Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis for Michael Bourn, Ty Wigginton, Troy Patton, Hector Gimenez and Matt Albers This trade gives you guys a starting CF, replacement 3B and a stud young pitcher in Patton along with a serviceable pitcher in Albers. Gimenez could be the wild card here. He is coming back from rotator cuff surgery but he was scheduled to be the starting catcher for the Astros until the recent emergence of Towles but if healthy could be a really good catcher for you guys for years to come and in my book is a much better option than Yorvit. Also with the exception of Ty Wigginton all of these players would be under club control for a few years to come. Let me know what you guys think. Also feel free to call me an idiot, moron or whatever but only if you do it in a way that is funny, witty or entertaining.
November 10, 200717 yr that isnt enough to get willis just a pile of junk Did i miss oswalt, lee, pence all paid for and 500 million added for a stadium? damn homers
November 10, 200717 yr Not feeling it dude. The starting point is Pence, Patton, and Towles, but the LA teams could easily defeat that if they were to get into the bidding.
November 10, 200717 yr Excellent deal. I'm absolutely blown away by the quality the Marlins get in return. I think we should also throw in Hanley and Hermida to make it worth you while more.

He will rape your farm system and get rid of all of your young tallent for Middle Relievers... Ala Polanco for Urbina, that worked out well. You traded away lidge for, A CF that cant hit... MR in Geary who has lost his edge, and AA prospect who is on the verge of being in his late20's and has a hole bigger than the grand canyon in his swing. have fun w. that
November 10, 200717 yr If we throw in Uggla and Willingham, I think we could also get Brian Moehler? Whatcha think Xavier, am I asking too much?!?
November 11, 200717 yr While we're at it, why don't the Marlins throw in Hanley Ramirez? And maybe Miguel Oli--- No that would wipe out the trade..
