Olney suggests Sherill to the Sawx???


Roll Tide

Recommended Posts

The Red Sox, Olney says, would probably love to land Sherrill and have prospects to offer, but isn't sure the O's would trade with a division rival.

I would hope Mcphail could get it done for the right package. I dont think the philosophy of not dealing in the division still hold true... Eh Right???

Would might it take for a Sherrill to the Red Sox deal to work. :scratchchinhmm:

Lowrie would be a good place to start.

You can't trade sherrill to someone in our division, that doesnt do us any good. We'd run into him in the ninth one day and he'd shut us down.

If the package coming back makes us a better team in the future, then we can deal Sherril to whatever team we want.

How about Lowrie, Oscar Tejada, and Aaron Bates?

Lowrie and Bowden/Anderson and you probably have to swallow hard and make that trade. Anderson and Lowrie would fill holes and if Bowden was acquired, we'd have the three of the best young pitching prospects in the majors.

They'd make their ballgames a seven inning game. Sherrill setting up Papelbon would be devistating.

Think Rivera-Wetland and Rodriguez-Percival.

Which is why you have to ask for the moon and the stars to move Sherrill to the Red Sox. God the concept of that just makes me ill...

Can you imagine Red Sux Nation adopting the Flat Breezy? :puke::puke::puke:

I'd much rather have Bowden than Anderson. I'd rather have Chris Carter than Anderson or Bates too. If we could somehow get Lowrie and Bowden then you have to seriously consider it. Other teams maybe something like:

BOS - Lowrie, Bowden

MIL - Gamel, Gillespie

LAD - LaRoche, McDonald, DeJesus

TB - Brignac, Hellickson

That would be great and if an offer like those comes along you really have to consider it.

Might that also be the case for the guys the Red Sox trade us? The Orioles are so far from contending right now that I wouldn't be concerned about where we trade our available players. Not picking on you but this same thought process by Uncle Pete has crippled the Orioles for a long time. I honestly believe whomever offers the best package is the team we ought to deal with regardless of the division.

    • Aren't the Tides struggling enough already?
    • Not even a platinum glove is worth that kind of abysmal production at the plate. Elias should capitalize on Hays' option and send him to Norfolk to play every day. If there's an injury to one of the OF's on the major league roster or he gets into a groove at the plate, call him back up. Give Stowers an opportunity - even just as a sparingly-used 4th OF - to reward him for multiple seasons of good production in the minors. 
    • Is this a serious statement?  Did we find out if Cowser was “cut out for the majors” last season when he struggled? Did we find out about Grayson last season when he struggles so much that he had to be sent down? Just curious, how long have you watched baseball? I ask because I have read several of these hyperbolic reactions when the kid hasn’t even played a full week of games and the first thing that I a think is what is this poster’s frame of reference? Have they not watched various top players/prospect struggle when first coming to the show? I don’t mean to be insulting but it get’s a little exhausting reading these type of instantaneous indictments of a 20 year-old uber-talented kid who has not found his groove after 25 ABs.
    • Cowser never had the chance to play every day. It wasn't a similar situation to Holliday's callup outside of poor initial results. Holliday is being given a long leash to struggle and try to figure things out. Cowser had no such opportunity last season. Elias and Hyde were too enamored with Aaron Hicks. 
    • Unless Baumann gets it in gear, I would dump him before anyone.   Can’t trust guys who can’t throw strikes.
    • I don’t think we need to talk in absolutes here. It’s possible he’s just not ready. Look at Cowser last year compared to this season.
    • Nine losses in a row for the Tides. Obviously they were not going to hit like they  did against a bad Charlotte team in a hitters ballpark. One game they scored five runs and the rest four or less.
