The Padres have sent three officials to watch the Orioles over the last two weeks

Interesting....but it should be noted that Oakland is very interested in Headley aswell.

It's at times like this that I really miss Sports Guy's three-team trade ideas.

[Flacco Machado]

Yeah..thats funny...right...

It's "wacky high" man...or am I "wacky high"?

These brownies are off the chain!

Ask, and ye shall receive...

Matusz is a San Diego native. Gets to pitch in his hometown. Big ballpark.

So, I have a three-team deal idea. I don't get many good ideas, but I thought this might be one. Again, I like Matusz, but I like this deal too.

Padres get:

Brian Matusz

Bryan LaHair

Xavier Avery

Zach Britton

Orioles get:

Matt Garza

Chase Headley

Alfonso Soriano

Cubs get:

Clayton Richard

Cameron Maybin

Mike Wright

Matusz, Britton, and Avery for Headley.

OMG, WHY in the weorld would you do that trade? Matusz AND Britton? I'd struggle doing Britton and Avery. Sure, we need a 3B, but this is a guy who, albeit in Petco, has what, once had an OPS over .800?

It's the brownies talking, I guess...

I think everyone here is missing the boat.

Clearly, the three-team-trade idea is the one that is happening:boogie: and who is at the Yards tonight? Baltimore, San Diego and Oakland!

So, obviously there is a three-team-trade brewing between those three teams.

Quick, who can come up with a feasible trade scenario consisting of players swapping between those three teams (I'm horrible with that kind of stuff, so I'm not going to try).

*Note* If this ACTUALLY happens, remember that you heard it here first!

Plays plus defense at a position that has been brutal for us all year, and has a career .299/.366/.449 away from Petco

Crap. Doesn't mean I'd do Matusz AND Britton, just saying let's not knock Headley

I don't know... something seems different with your post. Try and post again, but this time talk down to me.

[waroriole]

Ughh, the cavalry sucks......trade em all.

Only partially joking.

[Jagwar]

I sure hope Minaya wasn't there to watch Zach.

[Flacco Machado]

Haha! Yeah, I made a few tweaks...you idiot!

Boy, Britton really is showing the scouts his best stuff tonight...:rolleyestf:

[Flacco Machado]

How's everybody feeling about Zach, now? Roy...how about you?

[csgordos]

Britton heard he maybe traded & wants to stay in Baltimore, so decided to tank the game. boy I wish That was true.

[Roll Tide]

That comp pick might be worth as much as Hoes/Avery. It is definitely worth more then a lower minors C+ guy.

Honestly my preference would be Matusz, Hoes, and a relief pitcher prospect like Socolovich.

[EagleOriole]

Matusz, Britton, and Avery for Headley.

Hells to the no. Not Britton and Matusz.
