Giancarlo: "I Do Not Like This at All”

[lou]

If they don't sign him to 7/$85 this offseason, I actually unfortunately agree with this if they could get something crazy like Profar, Olt, Perez, and 2 more legitimate guys that profile to be averageish. If he isn't going to be around in 3 years when the next group is supposedly going to be good, see how much you can get when he is healthy, pre-arbitration, and before he gets no pitches to hit for an entire season. And I bet Nolasco and Escobar are easily attachable to the deal to dump more payroll. Because you know, that's important too.

I think I'll have to concur as well, unfortunately. However, I don't know if Seattle is the best trade partner. Yes, they have awesome pitching, but that's really it. I think, at this point, we have good pitchers in Turner, Alvarez, Fernandez, Heaney and Nicolino. Yes, I want to get a pitcher in return, but that's all Seattle really has to offer other than Nick Franklin (who I like as well.) Texas really has the plethora of prospects that would suffice.

Gotta give Passan this much; dude's got a recognizable style. I read half a sentence and I knew it was him.
--------------------
If the Marlins trade Stanton, Passan will write a diatribe about how Loria just wanted the attention put on him and not Stanton's home runsd.

So I got a message from a friend who is somewhat in the know and he heard that the Cincinnati Reds could have Giancarlo for Billy Hamilton, Daniel Corcino, Devin Mesoraco, Robert Stephenson and Mike Leake. Take it as you may, but I thought I'd pass it along.

[Bobbob1313]

we have Brently already, y would loria want mesococo

it's all about 2014 i told u

[lou]

Billy Hamilton is the most beinfestball player ever. And he could learn from Pierre. Swoon.

Still not sure who plays 3B in this fantasy universe.

Didn't they say Yunel Escobar is?
--------------------
I think it's really disappointing that lou is adopting Swift things now.

[Namaste]

It's disappointing that 5 of you are most likely one-third of all the people in the world who thought this was a good trade.

[Beef]

You're a thinger

[Bobbob1313]

So if I don't want Loria sent to jail, I think it's a good trade. Excellent.

[HUGG]

Daft.

Don't call me.

[Party]

Can we stop talking about what other posters are doing and talk about the baseball team?

I don't care who is in what clique and who is posting things like that guy.

There are bigger things to argue about.

What are you talking about?

I was referring to the longterm. If said hypothetical fantasy reds trade were to happen, organization will have traded Stanton and not gotten a significant prospect at the worst position of organizational depth, 3B (and 2B as Hamilton has moved to CF). I mean they'd have tons of pitching to potentially trade, but I would say if you move Stanton, don't you have to get the perfect players at the perfect positions?

[Erick]

I would very much prefer the perfect players and worry about positions when the time comes.

I don't think they have to get a 3B in a deal for Stanton.

Better yet, I don't think they have to trade Stanton. All of the proposed deals I've seen are nowhere near good enough including this one.
