MLB Off-season discussion
Moderators: Bill_Abner, ScoopBrady
Aren't there questions about Renteria's true age--or is that just something Sox fans use to explain why he seemed to fall off a cliff, performance-wise last year.
Didn't the Red Sox trade their highly touted SS prospect earlier this off-season? You'd think they would have wanted to hold on to him if they were planning on spinning Renteria in a trade.

Red Sox had two SS prospects....They traded Hanley Ramirez which is the better one in terms of skill sets but Dustin Pedrioa from Arizona State has risen through the minors very fast and has shown that he will fit in well with the Red Sox system. He is more of a dirtdog and plays the game the right way. He is a solid defensive shortstop and is a single and doubles hitter.Dave wrote:Aren't there questions about Renteria's true age--or is that just something Sox fans use to explain why he seemed to fall off a cliff, performance-wise last year.

Three-way deal is 'dead' for Renteria:
Dec 7 - The Devil Rays have effectively killed a proposed three-way deal that would have sent Renteria to Atlanta, Julio Lugo to Boston and highly regarded third-base prospect Andy Marte to Tampa Bay, reports ESPN's Peter Gammons.
According to Gammons, the Devil Rays want more than Marte.
"It is all but dead," said one official.
Earlier, the Boston Globe had reported that the Red Sox were moving aggressively to trade Renteria, who had fallen out of favor in Boston after a 30-error season.
According to the Globe, Tampa Bay would have received Marte and another player.
-------------------------------
MORE than just Marte...wow. Cocky bastards down there in Tampa.

I think they got rid of Chuck LaMar--but his legacy must live on in Tampa, thid has been their style over the past few years. They ripped the Mets off, getting Kazmir for Zambrano and are using that trade as the measuring stick.dbdynsty25 wrote:MORE than just Marte...wow. Cocky bastards down there in Tampa.

I think that the Thome was the we are going for another chamionship now move...I like Rowand but I also like what a healthy LF slugger hitting 5th will do for the offense.
I really dont think its that bad a move but health will have everything to with the out come.

The Marlins have agreed to send Pierre to the Cubs for right-hander Sergio Mitre and pitching prospects Ricky Nolasco and Renyel Pinto.
Bye, bye Corey.
Hopefully that Murton kid will get a full season in left field with Pierre in center and Burnitz in right. You've got Ramirez and Lee on the corners and Barrett behind the plate. I'd like to see them shore up the interior of the infield and they could have a good season. They added depth to their bullpen but the key will be keeping Prior and Wood healthy.

I am a patient boy.
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait.
My time is water down a drain.

I hope Mitre gets a fair shot with the Marlins. He is great kid. I used to play in the San Diego Mexican League with him when he was in high school.
It was/still is a great league. Oscar Robles and Mike Jacobs also played in this league.
We also would go to Tijuana on Friday nights to play in a fast pitch softball league. Talk about crazy.
All the Dodgers have to do is send Robles to the Marlins and a 3rd of the Rieleros will be playing on the same major league team. That is a long way from Memorial and Golden Hill Park.

The Atlanta Braves traded All-Star catcher Johnny Estrada to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday for right-handed relievers Lance Cormier and Oscar Villarreal.
that being why the braves backed off probably

Oh I never heard Baez too...but no way they get rid of two of their stud young guys. I like McCann a lot better than Estrada...especially after last year. Johnny just wasn't the same after Erstad destroyed him at home plate and screwed up his back. I'm happy to get a couple of young relief pitchers for him. The Braves are REALLY high on McCann so they probably told Tampa they could have Estrada and then they balked.

The Reds know they want Lohse and Romero, so they should ship him to Minnesota He'd fit in well at the Dome with that short RF fence.CincyKid wrote:adam dunn to the orioles being bounced around as well
Do you really think the Reds would trade Dunn--he doesn't get really expensive for another couple years, right?
xbl/psn tag: dave2eleven
i share these sentiments as i could live with casey picking up n leaving i dont feel strongly about kearns or griff but i happen to think dunn is the everyday player to build around on this team and one of the few links i still have to following this team over the years the way i did as a kid growing up in cincy ( especially now that the last true link to my living there barry larkin is gone).....the drays have stolen alot of that feeling over the past 8 years because i can actually go watch them anytime and follow them so much more intenslyEDiddy wrote:Please do not trade Adam Dunn, please. (Really dont know who I am writing this to)
i do like willy mo as well though and was curious to why diddy felt we should trade him
again i get most of my info about the reds through
