2011 Trade Deadline Thread

[InfernoOrangeSS]

he's a hacker though with big K numbers

 

Wily Mo Pena 2.0?

 

[example1]

No way Sox went 4 for 1 on Bedard.

 

Completely agree. This is wrong. It has to be.

[Dojji]

If we didn't get Trayvon Robinson we got shafted hard then

 

I kinda agree. Bedard really isn't worth those 3 guys himself with his injury issues.

[Jasonbay44]

Damn. I want Trayvon, he has such a beast name.

[BornToRun]

Sweet.

[example1]

So the Sox DID get him afterall.

 

Can Abraham and Edes just have a fight to the death to see who officially gets to tell us what the hell is going on?

[SoxSport]

Those dopes at MLB.com still haven't explained the deal. Fields is a closer from U Georgia. #1 draft pick.

[AtWork]

3:14pm: Details: the Red Sox get Bedard and outfield prospect Trayvon Robinson. The Dodgers get Tim Federowicz, Juan Rodriguez, and Steven Fife. Joshua Fields and Chih-Hsien Chiang went somewhere. We'll clear it up when possible. Conflicting reports for now.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

Peter Abraham says Robinson IS going to the Sox.

 

oh godddd

[Dojji]

Kinda goes back to what I said.

 

Even with his issues, power lefties are worth a ton on the market. If the Mariners DID get Robinson, that just goes to that point.

 

Right now we're running around headless. Gonna enjoy me some baseball, take a half hour break from deadline talk, and come back when all the shoes have dropped.

[AtWork]

So we acquired Bedard and stocked up on prospects? It almost seems as if we were setting up for another deal.

[example1]

This Robinson guy looks like a prospect somewhere on the caliber between Kalish and Reddick, but a switch hitter. That's not a bad thing to add...

[BornToRun]

Bedard may be an injury prone douche, but he can pitch. I'm happy with this, especially considering that NY did f***all.

[Rdsxmbnt]

wait now its Lin and not Chiang?

[AtWork]

Maybe we'll throw Reddick, Kalish and Robinson at the wall next year and see which one sticks as our starting RF. That would save us some money.

[Dojji]

No way lol. Lin is a great fit for eother the M's or the Dodgers, so he kinda had to be in a deal like that, I could see either org buying low on a kid at that age at that level with that amount of talent and plate discipline.

[Dojji]

Maybe we'll throw Reddick' date=' Kalish and Robinson at the wall next year and see which one sticks as our starting RF. That would save us some money.[/quote']

 

Robinson is a LF/CF. Which means at the big league level he's probably an LF.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Now it looks like Trayvon is going to Seattle.

 

Josh Fields has 95-100 mph fastball though :dunno:

[BornToRun]

What the f*** is going on?

[AtWork]

3:14pm: We know the Red Sox got Bedard. The rest is still being sorted out, with conflicting reports everywhere.

 

I woudln't be surprised of all of these prospects being thrown around netted us a lefty reliever or righthanded outfielder.

[Jasonbay44]

I like this trade the more I hear about it, I originally thought it said Robinson was 27, but he is only 23. Is he MLB ready?

[BigPapiEnFuego]

I can't take this.

[example1]

Not Lin, Chiang.

[SoxFanForsyth]

alexspeier Alex Speier

Confirmed: Bedard and Josh Fields (P) to Boston; Federowicz, Fife, Juan Rodriguez to Dodgers; Trayvon Robinson and CH Chiang to

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Now it looks like Trayvon is going to Seattle.

 

Josh Fields has 95-100 mph fastball though :dunno:

 

Jesus can they f***ing wait and confirm when they have everything set? What a tease.

[Jasonbay44]

Now were not getting Robinson? What the f***, Im about to just give up trying to guess anymore.

[Dojji]

As soon as we know where Robinson is going, someone let me know.

 

Seattle was the intuitive place for him to wind up because they're the ones who need big league ready hitters, but if we gave up that much and got nothing but 2 months of Bedard and a squib with no idea where the ball is going, I'm going to be a bit miffed, even if it did just cust us midtier prospects.

[Cocos Disciples]

So by the way, what the f*** are the Dodgers doing in this trade?

[example1]

Spier is saying Bedard and Fields. Don't love that. Why not Robinson? What the hell did the Mariners give up here?

[AtWork]

Joshua Fields sucks. He walks more than a batter every 2 innings.
