    Cliff Lee will be traded by the deadline. Cuz f*** y'all that's why.
  2. italstallianion
    Cubs and Giants are still scoreless in the 7th too. Edit: There you go, Cubs make it the 8th shutout, and the 4th 1-0 one.

    I heard Delmonico was in the middle between Cecchini and Marrero. I heard he'd be like Marrero+ whatever that means.
  4. italstallianion
    I feel like SR and I were among the biggest proponents of him but when Nick Delmonico was the price paid I'm glad we weren't the high bidder.
  5. italstallianion
    Except that the Orioles gave up their 4th best prospect for him. Granted our system isn't the same as theirs but that price was way too high for us imo.
  6. italstallianion
    Yeah, they still think sex is about love and feelings. hahahahahahaha

    I think you're both right. I believe it is a seller's market because of the new playoff addition which makes more playoff spots, and as such more teams that think they are in contention, which makes more buyers than sellers at the deadline. (Teams really have to suck in order to be out of it by now to be sellers) I would also argue that teams that are buying for the playoffs/championship are more desperate to improve than the sellers are desperate to sell. (In other words I think not doing the deal is more harmful to the buyer than the seller) That said, SR is right that as the deadline approaches, it evens out because the sellers have to lower their demands or risk not doing a deal and ending up with nothing for their players. Although theoretically they could still hold onto a majority of their players with qualifying offers or get draft picks, right?

    I'm all for trading Middlebrooks, but I don't really want Peavy and I'm not sure how Crain's injury will effect his future stats, but if he is reasonably healthy I'd definitely trade for Crain. I'm not sure if I'd offer Middlebrooks for Crain straight up though.

    I know it does, I just meant that it wasn't the same as Pal's.
  10. italstallianion
    Can't be or else my computer would have it too.
  11. italstallianion
    Does anyone know how old he is? (Claims to be)
  12. italstallianion
    Considering earlier rumors had it at 40-50 I'm kind of ok to see him go somewhere else, especially Philly over a current playoff team. Although if he went to a team like Atlanta that would have taken one more buyer out of the market for a starter which might have changed the nature of the Peavy trade.
  13. italstallianion
    Too bad he didn't name them "Minnie" and "Paula"
  14. italstallianion
    I agree, I would trade Lee if I were the Phillies, but I never considered Amaro as an upper echelon GM.
  15. italstallianion
    I predict losses for the Sox all the time, I just don't do it when I make gamethreads.
  16. italstallianion
    Don't you mean Larry Andersen? Edit: Nvmd I think you meant guessing on the wrong prospect, I thought you meant on the value of the sides of the Bagwell deal, which we got Andersen in return.
  17. italstallianion
    Giggity.
  18. italstallianion
    Cecchini is the reason why I really want to trade Middlebrooks. I've always liked Ranaudo. I wouldn't trade any of the top 10 prospects we have for Garza/Peavy/Norris/Gallardo.
  19. italstallianion
    I don't consider Jake Peavy to be a number 1 or 2 starter....at least not since his time in San Diego. Factor in the cost (which might mimic the cost of an actual 1 or 2 starter) and the injury history, and check and checkmate...not interested.
  20. italstallianion
    Well for one, given the prices paid for Garza/Soriano/K-Rod, and the current seller's market, the Cubs would be able to get a king's ransom. And second, while Samardzija is young, he's 28 and will likely be a few years older when the Cubs are expected to be good. I wouldn't consider him a "core player" of theirs to build around.
  21. italstallianion
    What about Samardzjia?
  22. italstallianion
    Sweet, I was initially concerned when MLBTR said there'd only be 1 prospect returning and the Cubs would pay around $18M. MLBTR had Black as the 25th best prospect for the Yankees at the beginning of the year according to BA. I remember the talks were around Whitley, perhaps it was going to be Whitley and someone else or a different amount of cash and the Cubs opted for the best player they could receive. I wonder if the Cubs have any other pieces they are trying to sell, Theo is netting a nice haul for the future.
  23. italstallianion
    Joe Sheehan ‏@joe_sheehan 11h If Soriano goes to NYY, #Yankees will have nine players making $15M or more in 2013. Rest of AL has 12. #mlb
  24. italstallianion
    Does anyone else find it interesting that Joe Mauer had twins?
  25. italstallianion
    Phew, I was worried that the Yankees weren't going to give up a valuable piece. Who was ranked higher in the system, Black or Whitley?
