I just read he might be out for the whole season, and that he will be a free agent.

Do you think if we can't find a third baseman in a trade that the team should give him a 1 year contract? He is injury prone, but he is about average defensively and a great batter, and he probably won't be getting much money after losing the whole season.

He can be the perfect stop gap, while we keep looking.

what do you think guys?

San Francisco shopping Cain?

jahs34 — Tue, 26 May 2009 16:22:24 -0000

There are lots of rumors going around, about San Francisco looking for a bat, and shopping Cain, who is still under control for 3 years.

Do you think we should trade Holliday for him?, sure its not the third baseman or SS of the future, but is an ace or number 2 pitcher for 3 more years, whcih could help us maybe trade one of our pitchers for the batting help.

Is Cain enough or can we ask for a low level prospec too?

Trade update

jahs34 — Thu, 21 May 2009 16:18:16 -0000

Same league, like i said before 12 teams, 5 x 5, only doing well on Stolen Bases and Saves, need help especially at catcher, i had Ivan Rodriguez and just picked up Varitek, other catchers on the pool Barajas, Buck, and Suzuki who was just released and is stil on waivers.

I'm being offered now by the first place team, Greinke plus Martin for Cabrera. He also has Asdrubal Cabrera, Mccann, Kendry Morales, Hanley, whom he won't trade, Markakis, Lind, Justin Upton , Choo, Beltran, Blalock, Derek Lee, Volstad, Wandy, Shields, Felix, and Lackey.

trade

My team pretty much sucks, i need a catcher, and improving starting pitcher among other things.

I'm in 9rh place in a 12 teams standard roto league, first place team has Martin and Mccann. I was trying to find a match for Mccann but couldn't really find anything, he needs saves, but i have Jenks, Ziegler and Sherril, i did have Rivera, but i traded him plus Bonifacio for Phillips. He offered me this morning Martin plus Wandy Rodriguez for Miguel Cabrera.

I dismiss it right away, but i wonder was that a good enough return?

would you prefer Mccann instead of Martin?

Awful article in La Verdad about Carlos Gonzalez

jahs34 — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:05:34 -0000

La verdad is one of the local newspaper in my city, it was the one with the article that was posted here about the Marabino patrolcraft.

Well the thing is that the author said, that the A's might trade Gonzalez for either pitching, because they need to catch up with the Angels, or for Holliday.

Doesn't this guy know that the A's have the best starting ERA in the major leagues. Also that Holliday is just an average hitter outside of Coors, and the Coliseum is a pitcher's park in a league that has better pitching?

Awful sportswriting is a worldwide thing.

Volquez trade

jahs34 — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:34:42 -0000

Hello guys, need some advice.

I'm trying to sell high on Volquez, maybe for a struggling of, who you think will get better, or maybe anythingof value, i need runs and sb's. Its a 6x6 league, 14 teams, with Tb and Holds.

Would you trade him for Pence?

Javier Brito Arizona

Looking very good so far in the Venezuela Winter League.

Had a pretty good season, great plate discipline and defense. He is blocked by Jackson now, is he ready? what do you think is he a top 50 prospect?

Can Stewart go to the Mets?

jahs34 — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 15:14:37 -0000

Beltran is injured, this open possibilities. I think they might want Dye, problem is many teams want Dye, and might get into a bidding war.
Beane has been a little too quiet, but Stewart unprobable terrific season so far might give us the trade chip we need.

Humber or Pelfrey?, who else is on the system who can be attractive for us?

Right now 9 inning, against the A's, is not a perfect game because of Lugo's error.

What should the Brewers do?

jahs34 — Wed, 09 May 2007 15:30:39 -0000

There is an article today at hardball times, talking about the Braun situation.

His bat is major league ready and he should be in the big leagues now, more even with the crappy combo they have at third base right now.

The thing is, his probably not up now because of service time, they are a small market organization and want to make the most of it.

But i'm thinking, they do have a huge chance to win this season, what if, instead of calling up Braun and Gallardo, why don't they trade them for Miguel Cabrera, they would have arguably the best lineup on the National League, the problem there is a really big chance he would be a half a season rental.
