All hate/love aside, throwing 2 no-no's against the same team in 2 years is a hell of an accomplishment

Even the Pads? Being fastidious.

 

[threeoneoh]

How about those padres

 

[dmxfury]

Went to Camden on Monday (awesome game)....oh my that park is nice. Wow

Why would you want Carlos Quentin the wind blows and probably breaks his ribs. You want a SD OF'er, go get Seth Smith's underrated bat. Or even Rios. Zobrist would be awesome anywhere but he'd do damage in that park gap to gap.

 

[651akathepaul]

Well, if the M's wanted Matt Kemp, I figure Quentin is just as injury prone, but comes cheaper. Secondly...I don't know. I just like the guy.

I've thought about Zobrist as well, but I don't know who is available and which teams are sellers...I just assumed that SD was becauase they blow.

As versatile as Zobrist is, he's 33-years-old. Plus I'd be hesitant to do business with Friedman. He fleeces others. The Masai Ujiri of MLB.

well if you like the dude I can't blame you.

Someone got it in my head Price/Zobrist to St. Louis and it just made too much sense

I'll take 33 year old Zobrist over a lot of dudes out there. Plus, only due $7.5 next year.

Interesting. I'm curious what Cardinals prospects in return?

A's returning the favor for yesterday to the Mets.

 

[macbk]

I'm a little late, but many props to Lincecum . To do it a year later, against the same team? Talk about impressive.

 

[proshares]

It would have to center around Tavares with Piscotty and Reyes probably. You're talking about a guy who has a manageable contract for a year plus and gives you value at four positions and exclusive rights to negotiate with the second best lefty in the game probably. It'd have to be a monster deal.

Denard Span for Nick Franklin, straight up.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

NY Mets are no bueno.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

The As best player ever was Jimmie Foxx...ours was Willie Mays. I'd probably be bitter too.

4>2

I can't believe I let this slide. Have neither of you dummies heard of RICKEY HENDERSON? Quite possibly the greatest player of all time?

 

[thekidgriffey24]

Eh either one is fine. Foxx had 2600 hits, 500 dingers, almost 2000 ribbies, and a .325 average. Those are unbelievable numbers, but Henderson is one of the most game changing players ever. Doesn't matter though, Willie Mays is better than both as is Barry Bonds.

Zach Wheeler consistently inconsistent.

That home run by Moss :x :x :x

Next pitching to throw a no hitter?

Yu Darvish or Jonathon Niese.

 

[651akathepaul]

Jose Canseco?

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Doolittle best closer in baseball

 

[thekidgriffey24]

As soon as Craig Kimbrel retires I guess.

You had to know the other shoe would drop.

No way. I'll pass. Another Friedman fleece if the deal came to fruition. I wouldn't leverage St. Louis' future and strong farm system on Price and Zobrist. Long thought Price and Moore are slightly overrated. Zobrist is a Swiss army knife in terms of versatility but simply not enough return to give up multiple top prospects.

Zach Wheeler consistently inconsistent.

Yu Darvish or Jonathon Niese.

Just when you thought Wheeler was turning a corner. I'd be open to trading him for a moderate haul.

Doolittle best closer in baseball

His K/BB rate is unheard of.

As soon as Craig Kimbrel retires I guess.

No love for Greg Holland.
