It doesn't make any sense to be making this deal 3 for 1 (even with 2 low level guys) if it is Jones, Sherrill, and Tillman. Something tells me we could have had that a month ago. It would be like we are giving in, and why would AM do that after fighting and holding out so long?

Hopefully if it is 1 3-1, it's Jones, Triunfel, and Morrow. (yes, I know there's not much chance of that).

Let's hope the Angels really do swoop in at the 11th hour and up the ante.

Players not on the 40-man roster wouldn't need to report to Baltimore, would they? So technically the deal could include more then three guys?

It's the offseason, none of them would HAVE to report to Baltimore, unless we want them here for a press conference. If it doesn't include more than 3 GREAT players there will be a revolt in the Harbor. I'll be selling pitchforks and torches.

It could be a 5 for 1 with the two non 40 man guys not flying to Baltimore.

While Jones, Sherrill, & Chen/Clement/Morrow

Tillman, Butler, Triunfel & Tua are not ..so presumably they wouldn't make the trip right?

They would need to report to Baltimore for a physical, and Jones and Sherrill would likely be introduced at a news conference.

They wouldn't HAVE to report for physicals. In the offseason our people can go to them, and they wouldn't have to have flights already, they could announce the trade before they need to get them all here for physicals. It is possible though.

On an unrelated note, anyone else watching the MD v Duke game?

Do you think? Were the Astros guys given any sort of formal presser?

As long as I can remember they do PC for guys established guys in the majors, not usually for prospects, but he is right, Jones would be a big acquisition for us and I could see them wanting to do one for that.

Let's just cross our fingers for at least one other top 50 prospect.

      Well he isn't exactly tearing it up since he got sent down.  I think he is something like 6 for 31 since?  Which makes him 8 for 70  (roughly) since his call up. Which is batting around .115 or so for the past month. He has obviously hit a level of talent that he is not handling all that well.  Considering his age, unless he really starts tearing it up?  I would be inclined to leave him down in AAA all year until the late season call ups.

      Some Absurd Trade Ideas from the Reds Forums

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      Roy, man I love you as a sportscaster personality and more importantly as just a genuinely nice person.   I do. But this is why I said last week in the thread you made about how the O's would get blown out by the Yankees that you are saying things lately that don't seem to be making much sense and many other posters would be banned by now for the same things. And don't get me wrong.  I don't want you banned and I hope you keep posting for a long long time.  You are a true O's, albeit very emotional..FAN. But Roy, read the OP.  He clearly said those trade ideas were from a Red's message board. 2 times I believe. Cmonnnnnnnn man!   BTW as far as the actual trade ideas?  Laughable.  Not even being a homer.  But just laughable.

      Which of our position players would be the best catcher?

      By thegardner · Posted

      Kremer is an excellent athlete and I think, think, I heard he had some experience catching.

      One of our friends ran into him at a game. He invite him, his girlfriend, and her two kids up into the owners’ suite to watch the game with him.

      Which of our 8 starters would make the best closer?

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      Kremer is included in that, so we will have to take somebody out of the rotation and it will be a difficult decision. Hopefully we can preserve their ammunition for late in the season, by somehow rotating the rotation.

      Just based on pure stuff to overwhelm hitters at the end of a game, I'd say this would be Grayson Rodriguez. But I'd rather have Grayson Rodriguez as a starter so I went with Albert Suarez because he has some swing and miss in his very good stuff, and I don't want to take Burnes/Bradish/Means/Rodrigez/Irvin out of the Rotation. So by default it goes to the best swing and miss guy we have not in the starting rotation, and I'm mindful of how alot of former starters have become superb closers. (I'm thinking of Smoltz, right off the bat).

      I bet it would be so much fun to sit with him and watch a game and talk baseball. Like you said, he seems like a warm and friendly person, but he's also smart and knows his baseball history (and world history too).
