Crawford Talks

[camdenyards8]

Heard on ESPN Radio that O's are looking at both Huff and Crawford from the D-Rays. Sounds like an offer could be made to Huff soon to platoon with Millar at 1B. Also discussed a possible Fiorentino, Ray, and Gibbons for Carl Crawford trade....who knows the reality of it, I personally think that's way too much to give up for Crawford. He's a great player though and I would love to see him in an O's uniform next season. Just wanted to throw it out there.

Way too much?

Are you serious? I'll personally drive all of them to airport.

Me too But I seriously doubt the trade. What do the DRays want with Fio with all there OF surplus? And Gibbons is a tad expensive for them isn't he?

I would also pay for there flight

[broberts]

I really like the idea of getting Crawford but I'd like to get him without giving up Ray.

[camdenyards8]

I see what you're saying....I just think you could package Ray into an even better trade possibility than Crawford. Ray is the wild card in that deal and I don't want to see that guy come back and haunt us. Is/Should he be untouchable? No, but I would be careful.

If they got Crawford for that, they'd be locked up for larceny.

Too much? I would also throw in Penn just to get it done.

If your Driving then I'll carry the bags.

I think there would be tons of help to go round here on the board, to ship them out of Baltimore For Crawford.

And I would rather explore this Shelton rumor, then make a run for Huff.

[Bond007]

I would do that trade in a heartbeat for Crawford. Fiorentino and Gibbons are "meh" and with Ray you gotta give up something good to get something good. Pull the trigger on that one.

Than your not getting Crawford... picking up the team options on years 2009 and 2010, he's owed $27.5m over the next 4 years. There will be plenty of suitors out their if he's going to be traded, and the DRays want pitching, young pitching.

I would give my left... uhh ... eyebrow, yeah, I would shave my left eyebrow to see crawford out there with patterson and nick!

Yes, these things matter. It's painful enough to have BJ Ryan shut us down every time the Blue Jays need to seal a win.

On the other hand, it's always fun to knock Mussina out of a game. But then there's a grudge against the Moose that I'm sure none of us feel against Ray.

Ray won't hurt us as long as the O's win their majority of games vs. Tampa. A closer can't hurt you if the you have the lead in the 9th. Crawford would contribute to more Oriole wins then Ray would, both offensively and defensively. Hoey could be the next Ray with time. Baez can close for the time being.

Wait a second......Not Hayden Penn. O wait, were talking about Carl "fricking" Crawford in black and orange.

You do what you gotta do

BOTTOM LINE.
