Orioles inquired about Melvin Upton, Jr (BlueJays)

[ISU94]

People saying Upton sucks hasnt seen him this season. Been very solid. Lot better than what Ubaldo has been.

He claims to have tweaked his swing.... but he's done that an awful lot over his career.

Mark Viviano said Tanner Scott?????????

Yeah, no. Left handers that throw 100mph don't grow on trees.

[Dark Helmet]

Any chance we can get Brad Hand too?

[weams]

Oh it's gonna be bad tomorrow then.

Scott, not weather.

And that keeps me thinking what prospect would the O's have to throw in to make the Padres say yes.

In the proposed deal of Melvin Upton Jr. for Ubaldo Jimenez that @Ken_Rosenthal reported, one would think O's are also sending top prospect.

Here we go...It begins.

Why I didn't want DD doing any more trades.

Neither do left handers who walk 8 batters per 9 innings in A ball.

At the very least Upton plays against southpaws and Alvarez won't. Also Rickard is likely out until September and Kim is on the DL for now.

When Kim gets back, this lineup will get even more interesting. I'm already kind of giddy just thinking about it

[MDtransplant757]

That's fine. I'd rather go get a Hellickson or Ervin Santana.

I'd personally want Matt Moore, but I'll take Hellickson or Santana. I wonder what the Angels would want for Shoemaker?

Remember when we gave up John Maine just so someone would take Jorge Julio off our hands? That's kinda how I feel about Ubaldo now.

Can we wait before we bash it?

Angel's have said Shoemaker isn't available. They are shopping Weaver apparently.

[Sir_Loin]

And it's only 9 pm in SD. Which I guess is a good thing if you want this trade to happen tonight.

Except SD front office execs are in DC for the Nationals series.

I am all for that. Ubaldo, Scott and lower level prospect for Upton and Hand.
