The Brewers are a closer away from being a contender

[FairWarning]

Hendry's two best moves were getting ARam from the Pirates and getting Derrick Lee from Florida in salary dumps. Ownership, including this one has little interest in winning. They want to sell that Wrigley Field Experience like it's Jimmy Buffett coming to town for 81 games.

McCutch can be touched. If the Braves offered Teheran and maybe Shafer (or even McClouth back) I bet the Pirates would consider. If they threw in Minor or Beachy I think the Pirates would have to jump on that.

The Braves are a leadoff man away from being a contender. If we can get Michael Bourn to hit leadoff then Prado 2nd, Chipper 3rd, McCann 4th, Freeman 5th, Uggla 6th, Heyward 7th, Gonzalez 8th we will get to the NLCS and maybe win it all.

Pirates will Trade you McClouth for the farm Pavy. he would be a good leadoff hitter with pop for you guys.......



wait, the braves are already a contender

 

[Jello]

Honestly Pavy I don't think the braves NEED anything. They are 51-36 with the best pitching staff in baseball.

But if they need anything, you are right...it's a CF that can hit leadoff.

 

[Archie]

seriously though

if the braves can win the division


they are a lock to win the World Series right?

I mean how many times can a team win that division and NOT win that WS

Archie, I'm telling you if the Braves offered Teheran and anybody else decent, then practically any team in the league would consider trading anybody on their roster.

Acrchie.... this is borderline hurtful and I don't like it. Careful please.

And in case you're wondering Teheran (20yrs old) is 9-1 with a 1.79 era and 0.97 whip in AAA this year. He throws 95, has a plus curve and plus changeup, and is pretty much considered the best prospect in baseball.

 

[Archie]

seriously McClouth back?

McCutch is a future MVP

they already have too many MLB OF's

they don't want a pretend-to-have-been like McClouth back when they have options like Presley, Gorkys Hernandez, Matt Hague, Starling Marte, John Bowker ect.

they need to unload some of that talent next winter

 

[FairWarning]

McCutch is going nowhere. That would be the worst thing they could do, unless it's for Hansen.

 

[Jello]

OK. I was trying to give an MLB ready CF back.

Please CALM DOWN! I need you to stay calm here Archie.

How about Teheran and Minor/Beachy for McCutch. You don't think the Pirates would CONSIDER it?

I bet it's even been batted around a little bit between Huntington and Wren.

 

[Archie]

not even for hansen

give me a leadoff cf with great fielding, POP, and speed> can miss pitching prospect


5 tools X 162 please

 

[Archie]

no way jello

you are getting dumber in every post here

 

[Jello]

Hanson..... mmmm. I doubt it. How bout JJ? I think he Braves would part with JJ because they know they're not going to pay him in 3 years.

 

[Archie]

guy is a top 5 player in the NL already

 

[Jello]

no way jello

you are getting dumber in every post here

You're a fucking idiot Archie.

That's it MOTHERFUCKER. I'll see YOU in Casper's thread later.

And it is ON.

We need someone to hit leadoff. Prado is better hitting 2nd because he hits a lot of doubles. All we need is a speedy leadoff man who can get on base frequently and move around the bases so that Chipper and McCann can drive him home. Right now we are playing 2 rookies and a 2nd year man in 3 starting positions.
