Report: Braves interested in Luke Scott... and Felix Pie?

[RShack]

I guess you have missed about half of the posts on the thread.

I guess I didn't. Most of the posts don't say a word about it. Several are all excited about getting rid of Oriole and don't even mention any return at all. Of those that do, I've seen guarantees that the O's won't be getting ATL's best prospects, some disagreement about whether Freeman can be had, and a couple posts talking about how we could get a couple C+ prospects. I'm still waiting to hear about what Difference Makers we're supposedly gonna get back. And by "Difference Makers", I don't mean a couple C+ prospects. In other words, where's the beef?

[El Gordo]

I'm going to start thinking up an enormously complex deal and rope in as many teams as possible, with the O's landing Lillibridge just for your entertainment.

Make sure you get Kotchman as well.:rofl:

Scott, Pie, Baez and 3 million dollars for Freeman, Medlen/Rohrbaugh, Jones and Hicks???

Possible? Yea? nay?

[Rolotomassie]

Personally, I'm not quite ready to hand over LF to Reimold, and trade away all other options, two weeks into his career. He's had a nice start but trading away Pie AND Scott would be premature.

Amidst the posts about how great it would be to trade away 2 of our OF'ers, shouldn't there be at least an itsy-bitsy discussion about who the Actual Difference-Makers are that we're supposedly getting back? Or doesn't that matter?

Huh? Nearly everyone has included names in their posts.

[ChaosLex]

Heyward and Hanson sounds pretty good as a return.

Francoeur's name has been thrown around a lot lately. Anyone interested in taking a chance on him?

I have heard rumors that they could just release him.

If he gets released and we trade both Scott and Pie, I think we should consider picking him up as our 4th OF.

I'd rather play with a 24-man roster.

What if he returns to his .885 OPS from 2005 or even .782 OPS from 2007? That's not too bad from a 4th OF. He's only 25...

He has awful plate discipline..but sure, I would take a chance on him.

If we aren't getting a true can't miss guy that could contribute this year, i'd like to wait another 15 days....make sure we don't have an actual wc chance. If we real off a few wins on this road trip things could get interesting...

I'd rather keep Pie.

So there you go. "Difference makers" and other potential pieces are being discussed. So maybe instead of saying no one is talking about who we can have . . .you should write that you are non-plussed what people seem to think is available.
