Have you ever actually seen Youkilis play baseball before? I understand that he's often injured, and your chances to see him have been limited in teh last two or three seasons, but he's an excellent player and a solid contributor when he's healthy. D

All too often. He's got a very good bat. But he isn't a good fielder at third, he costs over 12 million this year, with an option for 13 next year, and he's 33. I don't see the point unless we were gonna make a run at the pennant. I'd rather have a cheap, complementary player who can field like Callaspo or Izturis than waste our money on a guy who's passing his prime on the DL as we speak.

Callaspo for Gregg + Cash. I'm surprised it hasn't already been done actually.

The Angels are in no hurry to get rid of Callaspo with Trumbo playing himself off of third. They are certainly in no hurry to trade him for crap.

Andino can give you what Callaspo would at 3B, probably more. Move Flaherty into 2B, keep Tolleson for utility.

Hmm... I'd actually be okay with that, though I don't think Flaherty is ready to start in the majors yet offensively. I guess he has to step up though, because the defense is just killing us. That would make Tolleson the LF of choice for the next two weeks though. Not an ideal lineup.

He is the first one that comes to mind for me as well. He is not the greatest player, but would definitely fill a need for us and would probably benefit from getting out of San Diego.

My first thought as well. Headley is a solid player and getting him out of San Diego could turn him into a very good player. In his career he is .230/.324/.334 at home and .303/.365/.449 away.

This makes sense...But what would he cost in return? I have often pondered if the Padres would want Jones even the expensive version for his hometown ties. I think we could get Bourjos for a RP. Trade Jones to the Padres for Headley plus. I don't see this happening now ...certainly no with us Ted for 1st. But if we start to slip?

They don't want Jones, they have Maybin and they are rebuilding. They wouldn't take on Jones salary and give him the extension he would want. That hometown stuff only goes so far.

The Padres would not want Jones for the same reason they would not want Headley. Too expensive to keep. We are talking ultra low market team here. The Padres would want prospects for Headley.

I'm thinking Headley for Schoop, Tillman, and Schrader.

      Nobody put words in your mouth.  I asked you questions.  That you can't answer them should suggest to you how thought out our positions are. 1) The goal is the World Series.  What makes you think it isn't? 2)  That's the most generic statement possible that is impossible to analyze, 3) So Elfin, Burnes, Bradish, Cano, etc.  don't count because you don't want them to count.  But other than that, he's got a bad track record of trading..... .like what trade?  Are we all supposed to go insane and only evaluate one trade- the Rodgers trade- in the most hyperbolic terms necessary to justify our hyperbole? 4) So we judge him for hypothetical trades that we didn't make and can't even be analyzed?  LOL. Flaherty was a worthless trade?  This is the same Flaherty that started Game 1 of the World Series this year, right? Oh, so you just want to cry about Rodgers ad nauseum?  Cry ahead. So you want to fire the most successful GM we've had since Pat Gillick but you haven't even thought about who'd you replace him with?  And wouldn't even bothered until he was fired?  You understand how stupid that is, right?

      Rubenstein: Orioles will speed up the effort to get to a World Series

      I think he’s all in. That’s why I have hope that he will resign Burnes and add some veteran offensive a talent to help the team play better in October

      This is as plausible a theory as any other that has been trotted out since the end of the regular season and it's one I fully subscribe to. Personally however, I think restraint is advisable when it comes to comparing his historical business leadership to his newfound role as 75 year-old billionaire owner of a a sports franchise.  Especially given his demonstrated propensity for dancing on the home team dugout during the seventh inning stretch.

      Noted … I’d much rather have Teoscar. They would need to determine if Profar is the 2024 player or prior.

      Stop putting words in my mouth!    1) The goal needs to be the World Series 2) We need to spend wisely …but we need to spend 3) Oh Stop ….i gave him credit for Eflin and Burnes. The others were during the rebuild and selling trades. Which I said in my response to you,  4) It’s not one trade …. He’s tried to get help2 deadlines now. Beyond Eflin at two deadlines he’s done little to help the team reach the ultimate goal.    His moves in 2023 were Jack Flaherty who was basically worthless and Fuji who was so inconsistent that he’s not even pitching in the majors. Did I forget anyone? He did little to help an offense that was struggling mightily in 2024. He gave a lot away this deadline. They got Eflin but most everything else was mediocre or worse. The Rogers deal was just horrible. And why was he shopping in the bargain bin pile. Rogers was a 4.5 ERA starter before the trade which really wasn’t an upgrade and he crapped the bed after he got here.    I’m undecided over who I’d go after to replace Elias when the times comes.
