2011 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Party]

Wow.

[MiamiHomer]

I expect Atlanta to push for Quentin now.

[Bobbob1313]

He's better than Ibanez, so that's cool.

[Erick]

I don't think Pence replaces Ibanez; he replaces Brown.

[Mainge]

That's what I was thinking

[Bobbob1313]

Anytime you trade your top two prospects for a guy with a .370 BABIP who is the only viable offensive starter on the market, you probably overpaid.

[Erick]

It's not as if the Phillies need a farm system for the next handful of years.

[MiamiHomer]

Heyman disagrees

#astros sold high on pence. yet still didnt get very much.

[Bobbob1313]

BA's #39 and 70 prospects isn't a good package for a guy who's basically settled in as a .780-.800 OPS bat?

I think they got great value.

[Erick]

I think it's basically a fair deal for both teams.

[Ramp]

Mitch Williams thinks one of the PTBNL is Kyle Kendrick

Mitch Williams does not know how the PTBNL works
--------------------
Mitch Williams.... "how often does a PTBNL come from the 25 man roster?"

lolz

[MiamiHomer]

They keep saying they think it's Dominic Brown or Vance Worley.

[Ramp]

the more I hear Mitch Williams bitch about the Pence deal, the more I like this deal for Houston

[MiamiHomer]

Not only are they getting 4 unknown guys but they are paying Philly 1 million dollars.


I get really sad when I see those people have jobs that I'd love to do.

[Bobbob1313]

I'm starting to hate Hunter Pence because he's a Philly and he got way overrated over the last week or so.
