2009 Marlins Trade Deadline Discussion

[marlinsfan24]

It seems it is gonna come down to what Cincy does.

Toronto is sticking to there guns by demanding 4 prospects with 2 Top Prospects,1 Mid to High Prospects and a ML Ready SP

We can do the ML Ready SP,1 Top Prospects and a mid to high prospect but we won't deal 2 Top Prospects.

In other words,West,Maybin/Morrison/Stanton plus another prospect but NOT West and 2 of Maybin/Morrison/Stanton/Coghlan.

Red Sox love Halladay but Washburn is gonna be ALOT cheaper so they are looking at him right now

doesn't seem likely to me, no offense to you or your source

TWO of Maybin/Morrison/Stanton/Coghlan? Sounds like overkill. If the Dodgers are out of it (likely because they reportedly acquired Sherrill) and Boston is now turning its attention to Washburn because he's much cheaper, I don't see why we'd have to trade THAT much if Toronto really wants to deal Halladay.

Very true since Boston usually goes all-out and always get what they want.

[Ramp]

how would the Dodgers acquiring Sherrill take them out of the Halladay sweepstakes?

His source never said it was going to get done just that it was being discussed so his source wouldn't be wrong either way if it didn't get done.

I would trust his stuff to be reliable. We'll see what happens.

Would absolutely love Halladay.

Not really. Boston generally doesn't like to deal its prospects.

Because some of the prospects they'd trade in the Sherrill deal would likely have to be involved in any Halladay deal.
--------------------

HANLEY

Yeah; that's it. Boston for the most part hangs on to its young talent.

[nny]

His source is someone who works with Ken Rosenthal, so put the same amount of stock in TJ as you do Rosenthal

Eh, Sherrill ain't that good

[Virtuoso]

how would the Dodgers acquiring Sherrill take them out of the Halladay sweepstakes?

THURSDAY, 11:43am: Morosi and Rosenthal say the Dodgers are pursuing both Sherrill and Roy Halladay. They may only be able to acquire one, since some of the same prospects are being discussed in each case. The writers say the O's prefer Josh Bell to Blake DeWitt for Sherrill. Baseball America loves Bell's raw power but wonders if he'll be able to stick at third base.

HANLEY

Theo wasn't the gm when that went down so not really apt

[m26555]

Eh, Sherrill ain't that good

Agreed, but Baltimore is still asking for nice 'spects for him.

HANLEY

Hanley had fallen in their organization somewhat. He had some "behavioral" issues and his minor league stats never really matched up to his talent. Of course, we all know that he was just coasting in the minors and it worked out well for us.
