Greene on the way to Baltimore? No.

[blueberryale77]

Can we move on to Cedeno with this three-way deal now? :scratchchinhmm:

I sure hope not!

[JTrea81]

Or... ahem... get this trade going to acquire a younger shortstop...

I'd rather have Joaquin Arias than Cedeno if we are going with a younger SS.

Cedeno is only under control for 3 years.

[Pruke]

Not getting Greene is not a tear-jerker - he's not a long-term solution to a key positional need.

[clapdiddy]

I'm not upset about this at all. Greene to me would have been the last of my SS picks. I'd rather have Izturis for just money.

[anselmO]

This is nothing, IMO.

Media blah blah....

Is this still nothing.... Or have we whiffed on strike one?

[ChaosLex]

Told ya we wouldn't get him.

[clapdiddy]

Is Pie/Cedeno > Izturis in most people's eyes?

Yes...but we only give up money for Izturis.

[JTrea81]

Is Pie/Cedeno > Izturis in most people's eyes?

All depends if we are giving up more than Olson.

If it's Izturis/Olson/Scott vs. Pie/Cedeno/Marshall, give the me the first combo...

[JTrea81]

Told ya we wouldn't get him.

Once we said no to Olson for Greene which is a trade I would have made, I figured we were out of the Greene sweepstakes...

Hopefully Olson doesn't turn into another Matt Riley/Sean Douglass...

I would like to have a good fielding SS this upcoming year if we can't get Wood. Greene, Hardy, and Izturis. I would want them in that order only because Greene should come cheap and Hardy would cost a lot.

[TyCobb]

Son of a B! Come on can't we catch a break anywhere? Just up the ante and give up Olson unless you know you can get Cedeno and Pie from Chicago.

Once we said no to Olson for Greene which is a trade I would have made, I figured we were out of the Greene sweepstakes...

Not a fan of Oslon, but I don't think I could do it straight up with Greene's contract.

I hope we can go and trade with the Angels for Brandon Wood.

The only way we match up there is Huff. I am not sure if I do that trade. Its debatable though....

Hardy isn't really available according to Jon "Perez" Heyman

[anselmO]

Well this just sucks IMO. We could of had a major steal in Greene.

Might as well start fitting Izturis for that new Baltimore jersey. How about Izzy for a nickname?

[ChaosLex]

I have little doubt Fahey or Bynum will be our starting SS in 2009. Disgusting.
