I'd like to congratulate the Detroit Tigers for successfully pulling off the biggest heist in perhaps baseball history. Not only do they get the heir to Manny Ramirez' thrown as the best pure hitter in baseball, they also get a World Series winning Cy young like talent dynamic young left handed pitcher in Dontrelle Willis. And for what? A bag of baseballs and a prospect.
Tigers
Dontrelle Willis
Miguel Cabrera
Marlins
embarrassment
bag of baseballs
Andrew Miller LSP
Cameron Maybin LF
Mike Rabelo (fringe catcher already 27)
Eulogio De La Cruz RP (has pitched 6 innings in the bigs)
Dallas Trahern (possible #3 rotation pitcher will be lucky to start in AAA)
Burke Badenhop RP( 2006 minor league P of the year, tops out at 89mph hasn't been past AA)
50,000 less fans and an average attendance of 9,000+
Alright maybe three of these dudes will be good but none will ever be as good as Miguel Cabrera already is now. He is 24, a Man-ram with an eating disorder. He is the figgen player you build your god damn team around. Sure he has a-rodian like stats but you could work out a cheaper deal with him, put some weight clauses in there and you have a .300 30 hr 100rbi guy at least every year, a silver slugger. The Marlins are a joke.
Not to mention Dontrelle Willis, a young energetic black lefty pitcher. That is rare, he is a rare talent, he is what makes baseball exciting. He may have had a "down" year but he will win a Cy Young, he has won a World Series. The dude can pitch, he's a baseball player, a face of a franchise, holy shit.
Lastings Milledge trade
Washing Nationals
Lastings Milledge
Mets
Retarded piece of shit
used baseballs
Ryan Church
Brian Schneider and his $10 million for the next 2 years
Talk about embarrassing. Not even a year ago this dude was the center piece to aquiring Santana or Haren or Willis, now they get a defensive catcher who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a fucking boat and a career .271 29-year old platooner in right field who couldn't hit a lefty if he was using a red wood. Omar Minaya is a fucking retard.
Johan Santana
Evidently the only player is the Red Sox at this point. Although I could still picture the Yankees stepping in late and over paying. The Sox would deal a highly touted pitching prospect and Ellsbury and a middle infield prospect. Or Lester but not both Lester and Jacobi. I don't care, the Twins are building a new stadium and Johan is the best in the game, pay the dude pitching prospects are a joke. They get one injury and their career is in doubt. And please please do not accept that POS Milky Cabrera if the Yankees climb back to the table.
Rumors
According to numerous rumors, the Mets offered Carlos Gomez, potential stud OF, former first round pick and SP Phil Humber, and Heilman for Erik Bedard, the hard throwing stud Lefty from the Orioles. If this dude is available the market may be too high in regard to prospects but anyone with pitching should be calling up GM MacPhail ASAP.
DAN HAREN Hello, The dude is a righty but, he is a beast, easily a #2 if not a solid #1 at the top of the rotation. Billy Beane is a beast and will probably rob any team blind if they trade him, but prospects are prospects. He has a sweet contract $5.5 mil for the next three seasons! And would be a much better value trade. I predict he stays in Oakland unless the Yanks over pay.
Tim Lincecum for Alex Rios?
Pitching prospects? Solid cornerstone out fielder? Go with the outfielder, pitching prospects are a minute away from ending their career. Blue Jays would lose but perhaps win later down the line. (Giants won't do it they're pussies)
Take a flyer on:
Bartolo Colon, if he comes cheap, rest him give him a 2 year deal and see if he drop 50 pounds and stay healthy
Aaron Rowand, dude is a baseball player, and is beloved every where he goes. Solid centerfielder who was under rated in Philly.
Eric Gange (for the right price), Red Sox gave up way to much for him, but in a less intense market and a reasonable contract I'd throw him in as a set up/back up closer.
Milton Bradley, dude is messed up in the head, but a solid contributer in a small market.
Paul Lo Duca- old and declining but worth it for a year with a young pitching staff.
Jorge Julio, decent reliever
Scott Podsednik, there must be something I'm missing, at least a role player.
Mark Redman, back end guy pitched well for the Rockies.
Avoid
- Andruw Jones Roids
- Giving Torrii hunter that much money. The dude is banged up and plays the game too real, he's older than he seems.
- Mike Cameron, dude will get over paid.
- David Eckstein, the cardinals are
- Odalis Perez, never lived up to the hype
- Torrealba, might be a one hit wonder or the Mets will wish they had him
