Final Day Trade Rumor Countdown thread. (Deadline 4 PM)

n I just want them to stand pat. A minor deal for a LHRP I could swallow, but I do not want the Orioles to trade off a bunch of the youth for what is available out there. I think this team is good. "I like our guys".

[Malike]

Meh, the Dodgers don't really strike fear into my heart. Not like the A's do. We've beaten Price plenty of times, too.

If we get to play the Dodgers in the playoffs, that'll be swell. That means we're in the Series.

[weams]

So. Any AL East deals other than last place sellers?

[Redskins Rick]

They only have something when it's to refute a trade rumor. Seriously. Britt had the Lester talk, but then Roch and Connolly immediately threw cold water on it. Love these guys and all, but they don't break much.

Hard for local guys to complete with the big national media guys.

Besides DD plays it very close hold.

[J.D.]

I guess they could offer Smyly + Castellanos.

I hope the Rays jump all over that, if for no other reason than we wouldn't have to worry about them for a while. That seems to me to be a really poor return for Price.

And Roch and Connolly were right. It was apparently never close. Not sure why posters rail on these guys because they report what they are hearing and/or not hearing. These guys end up being right more often than the others.

I heard a rumor that the Os are all in on Keith Moreland.

[weams]

Anything can happen in a SSS. Teams only win 70% of the games started by their "ace," so you can always steal a 5 or 7 game series.

What happens when Ace faces Ace?

[MDK02]

I'm starting to think we don't make any moves for now. Maybe sometime late next month.

If there aren't, then I'm fine with standing pat. I like our team moving forward more than any of the other division competitors, and even with Oakland shaking up their rotation, I would take our chances in the playoffs against any of the other playoff teams.

After all, this is a team that played very well against Oakland and have beat up a bit on the Angels and Mariners.

Can't really blame them for not breaking anything if the Orioles have their leaks plugged.

Snake eyes.

IDK, could you imagine having David Price as your #2 or even #3?

[murph]

That's what I was thinking....call it a season? Call it one heck of a season alright!

[J.D.]

It's why we can't have nice things. You know, because one or two teams own ALL of the nice things.
