No....Wouldn't consider Willis or Robertson.

Alex Gonzalez had a good year last year and it wouldn't surprise me if a Ramon for Gonzo deal would interest both sides.

I think that is a lazy move personally but we save money and get our SS for 2009....Not a move I would do but a move I could see AM making.

foxsports.com doesn't have any 2008 stats on alex gonzalez, his 2007 seemed good enough for me, but his salary is a little higher than I'd like.

Although, if we were talking straight up trade ramon for gonzo, Id take it in a heartbeat. Fill our SS hole, and drop some salary to boot.

I don't really want Robertson either, but I think you can do worse. I'd certainly rather have him than Willis or Jason Marquis.

I've seen a couple of sites which have listed Robertson as a good buy low opportunity this offseason. Based on his cumulative numbers from the last three seasons I could see him posting a 4.66 ERA for the Orioles (the Bill James Handbook has him projected to put up a 4.77 ERA).

Again, I'd rather get someone else, but you can certainly do worse than Nate Robertson.

He makes 10 million in 2010..that's my issue.

Because he's a minor league beast and he was the 9th overall ML prospect at the beginning of '08?

He's 22, he'll get better.

But there's no way we'd get him for Ramon & Reimold.

But a bird in the hand... Isn't Bergesen going to be a quality starter. Not saying as good as Bailey (or any worse for that matter), but that was one of the mentioned trades. Would you really do that trade - Hernandez (and any others) for Bailey?

Depends on who the others were... but good heavens, yes.

I'd be happy to get a bag of potting soil for Ramon Hernandez, seriously.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      Traded for Bradish, traded for Irvin, traded for Burnes, traded for Flaherty, list can go on.

      Pablo Sandoval was pretty good for a five or six year stretch. Prince Fielder was a fat slob as was his dad. John Kruk was not  remotely athletic and had a good career. Surprisingly, Andruw Jones was not what I would consider an elite athlete but is probably the best defensive centerfielder of the last 30 years. No, being an elite athlete is not required to be a good baseball player.

      I wonder what your scouting report of Bobby Witt Jr was in 2022.

      I think they are trying to tune the robo ump to more closely match the called MLB zone.  The AAA robo ump zone isn't 100% accurate to the rulebook zone, and while the called MLB zone isn't either, it's quite a bit closer.  Specifically balls fading out of the zone are more likely to be adjudged balls by the robo-ump because they're only checking pitch location on a plane at the midpoint of home plate, so for example, a curveball that clips the front of the zone, then drops below it when crossing the midpoint of home plate, would be called a ball by the current robo-ump, but is a strike by the rulebook.

      Perhaps people shouldn't get personal with you, but you do bring it on yourself. You say outlandish things, presumably to troll, get called on them and then double, triple, quadruple, etc down until people take shots at you.

      ??? The only sports where people peak younger than 20 is stuff like womens gymnastics and figure skating, where women have to delay puberty in order to maintain a body type ideal for the sport.  Nearly every other sport's athletes  peak between 22-27.

      Ok several of you want to compare JH to Gunnar.  I am happy to do so: JH is 20 years old and has a .909 OPS at AAA after putting up a .941 OPS as a 19 year old at four levels. As a 20 year old Gunnar had a .826 OPS across three levels, .944 at A, .775 at A+ and .561 at AA (5 games) Even at 21 Gunnar went back to AA for almost half a season and his OPS at AA was .894 I am not saying JH will be as good as Gunnar but people saying we should trade for some pitcher we could have for a year or two have lost touch with common sense.
