I was thinking about the Delmon Young for Jason Barlett and Matt Garza trade a few years ago. At the time, Young was only 21 years old and had come off a .723 OPS campaign in his first full season in the majors.

Could we get a young 3B and a starting pitcher for Jones? What teams are possible trading partners?

I am not sure about the SP, but San Diego would have the 3B I would like to see. I hate the idea of moving Jones but they have to do something.

Maybe they could put some pitching that needs some work, and pair up with Jones. I wonder what a guy like Tillman would pitch like in Petco? Also I think Baltimore would have to send some cash along with a deal in SD. JMO.

The Braves should be the target. i think we could get one of Mike Minor, Arodys Vizcaino, or Randall Delgado along with a high upside guy like Andrelton Simmons, Matt Lipka, Edward Salcedo, or J.J. Hoover. Minor, Salcedo/Hoover, Carlos Perez and a guy like Adam Milligan would be awesome. I really like Adam Milligan as a throw in. Kid has serious power and a gorgeous swing. I have always like Andrelton Simmons and wish we had drafted him out of HS a couple years ago. I dont see any way possible the Braves trade Julio Teheran. The Braves have a unreal system from top to bottom. They do it the right way. It seems like every year they are developing another Latin American stud. They must have some fantastic scouts!

I have it before and I will say it again.

I think we can get as good or a better return than what we got for Bedard..at least in terms of quality.

I understand that may be the way we should go, but man does that give me Bill Murray in Ground hog day feeling.

I hope that's a joke.
You don't like Floyd? People really over rate Jones IMO. There aren't that may teams in despErate need for CF. and Jones D really undercuts his value IMO. You think we are getting King Felix for him? Atlanta didn't give up any of their top SP for Bourn who is a win better than Jones in WAR. I doubt you get much better than what they gave up for him.

Consider the source...He is neither funny nor does he like Jones and think he is any good. Its better to just move on instead of attempting to have an intelligent conversation with him.
You're the smart guy. Why don't you put yourself on the line and suggest a specific trade like I did, instead giving us more of your usual BS like "we could get a Bedard return for him." Well give us an example of that Bedard return. What team and what players? Talk about jokes.:rolleyestf:
