2011 Trade Deadline Thread

[AtWork]

Jason Giambi's nutritionist was just pulled from the Rockies locker room. #steroids #superpedroia

BREAKING NEWS: Previously reported deal of Jimeniz to Boston for Lars Anderson also includes Tulo.

 

I heard they were gonna add Todd Helton, also.

NOT CONFIRMED: Middlebrooks, Ranaudo and Anderson to CO for Ubaldo

[AtWork]

7:47pm: Jimenez is currently on the mound for the Rockies and pitching against the Padres. That's a pretty clear indication that a trade have not been finalized.

 

It's highly unlikely he goes anywhere if the Rockies are refusing to allow teams to conduct a physical on him. I'm surprised trade talks got as far as they did with the Guardians.

Ubaldo Jimenez starting bottom of first, Esmil Rogers beginning to loosen in bullpen.

NOT CONFIRMED: Middlebrooks' date=' Ranaudo and Anderson to CO for Ubaldo[/quote']

 

I could live with that. Like SFF said, I doubt Theo would do this without being thorough.

[AtWork]

This whole thing is like a multimillion dollar game of chess.

Where did you hear this from?

[Dojji]

The voices in his head.

 

Good rumor tho

 

I almost hope we get him just so we can have Baldy pitching to Salty.

In other news, Jon Lester is raping Hawk Harrelson and his White Sox.

But he's still no Bartolo Colon!

[Dojji]

No, nor even a Jeff Karstens

[Palodios]

I think Lester heard about someone comparing him to Bartolo Colon and got pissed.

[BornToRun]

But he's still no Bartolo Colon!

 

Lester is a Mustang, Colon is a school bus.

This is f***ing bizarre, watching Jimenez be pulled, then warm up, now pitching at SD, with a pitcher warming in the 1st. Something is obviously immenent, but if it were just a formality they probably wouldn't have started him, no?

Weird as hell.

Are you upset that I pointed out that your statement wasn't true that every single prospect the Yankees trade turns out to be garbage?

[example1]

I'm not seeing the high velocity from Jimenez yet, mostly 94ish, but with plenty of movement. Hard to know in this circumstance what would be going on in his head. Seems like he's throwing plenty of offspeed stuff. Doesn't look uncomfortable though, maybe just a bit unfocused.

[example1]

Any chance that Jimenez and Ludwick both get taken off the field due to a pending trade? Ludwick just doubled off him.

[AtWork]

Jiminez, rumored to be headed to Cleveland, just gave up a 2 run double to Ludwick, also rumored to be headed to Cleveland.

[Dojji]

There's this scuttlebut rumor from unreliable sources that we're back in. Take it for less than what it's worth.

[MNSoxChief102]

Weird as hell.

 

No s***. Plus Ludwick just bagged 2 RBIs in that game while he's on his way out as well. Weird is an understatement.

Was it Mike Scuttlebut from the Denver Post?

[example1]

Apparently someone told Jimenez that he needs to get his entire workout in in the first two innings tonight.

[example1]

4 run first for Ubaldo. It's okay, there's no way Jimenez will see an offense like the Whale Vaginas' in the AL.

It's like Jimenez is throwing a side. Trade brinksmanship as Rockies seek a 4th player it seems.

[example1]

Heyman reporting that there may be a 4th player in the deal with Cleveland.

WTF? A report comes out that they won't allow a physical and the Guardians pony up another player?

 

This is so backwards. I don't know who to call bull on right now.

Any chance it is Ryan Ludwick? Can Ludwick run himself into an out if he's changing teams?
