The Rays and the Giants are two teams that need to be doing something, imo. The Rays need to jump at every chance they get to make the playoffs and they need more in the pen.

The Giants are the craziest to me. The can win the WS if Lincecum and Cain are hot in October. They just need to add a couple of bats. They seem like a team that should step up and make a strong push for a guy like Scott. Huff would work for them too, but Scott would be the better choice due to his contract.

Taylor Green isn't a main piece, but I agree that I'd love to have him.

A Cubs package could potentially be centered around 21-year old AA RHSP Jay Jackson along with someone like 2B/SS/3B'man Ryan Flaherty or SS Hak-Ju Lee.

Sorry Greg ...But I dont think I'd be interested in a light hitting SS or 2B. The Orioles are in bad need of Heavy hitting 3B or 1B. I hope AM's on my side on this one.

I agree, the Giants are the team that have the most to gain by adding a bat or two, because their corner bats are very poor except for Sandoval. They'd probably have to offer us Alderson to get Luke Scott, but they're one of the few teams that has enough good young pitching in their system to be able to contemplate trading someone like Alderson. Even if they don't want to pony up for Luke Scott, they should easily be able to come up with enough to get us to part with Aubrey Huff.

Huff for Conor Gillaspie, Ehire Adrianza, & Scott Barnes. Too much? Too little?

Way way too much, considering that Gillaspie was their first round draft pick last year and considering that Barnes has terrific numbers pitching in the California League.

But you wouldn't have to offer up that much to get Aubrey Huff if I were the GM.

I'm with SG: Barnes alone would be good enough.

Gillaspie at the beginning of this season would have been out of the conversation. But he is struggling at A+, which is not what you want to see from a college player with an MLB contract. They probably aren't going to bail on him this quickly, though.

EDIT: Gillaspie not struggling at High A but still somewhat disappointing given the league and the Giants' expectations.

No offense, but if Hendry offers that package for Sherill, I will personally go to Chicago and slap him upside the head. It's not that I am overrating the Cubs prospects, because they are intriguing prospects, is that the Cubs already have a lefty reliever who is doing just as fine as Sherrill already on the team in Sean Marshall (If Ryan shows he still has gas in the tank, then Marshall will stretch out as a starter, but until then Marshall is our lefty in the pen). And the main difference between Marshall and Sherrill is that Sherrill has saves. The Cubs don't need a closer, and certaintly don't need to pay the price for a closer. If Baltimore asks for that package for Sherrill, then Hendry better call Washington cause Joe Biemel or Sean Burnett would be better "value" trades for the Cubs then Sherrill.

Marshall has been good in the pen, but I would rather have Sherrill late in a tight game... most anyone would. It's possible the Cubs are interested, and it will take a similar deal as I suggested to make it happen. I agree that there are other options out there, and don't expect to see a Cubs deal.

Not saying the Cubs need Sherrill, but they can have Marshall and Biemel and Ryan. They just won't be going to the playoffs this year, with any of those three. Marshall is good for what he does, and he has fit in this year after trying to start. The Cubs lost their other mainly lefty for the year. Biemel is overrated and has been, hence why he ended up in Washington and has not been doing well.

Insinuating that the Cubs won't make the playoffs without Sherril is pretty ridiculous.

Marshall has a 1.87 ERA as a reliever. He's been a phenomenal left handed specialist. He comes in in the 7th or 8th inning now and gets the job done. The fact that he can start is irrelevant to the fact that he's currently more valuable to them out of the pen.

The Cubs are a bad fit, they're pen is already very good. Guzman, Marshall, Gregg have all been solid. Heilman has improved, Jeff Stevens is now up after dominating the minor leagues, the biggest question mark they have is probably Marmol. Just saying, they don't need Sherril, sure any team could use him, but there's no reason for the Cubs to give up much more than maybe Jose Ascanio, Sam Fuld, and then maybe Ryan Flaherty. Pursuing a trade with another team is likely the best course of action.

Where did I say that? In fact, I said I was NOT saying that they needed him. I just stated if they stuck with the guys they have, or went out to get the guys that were mentioned that they wouldn't make the playoffs. No one is saying that they would make the playoffs by going to get Sherrill.

The Cubs have to do something to improve. Yeah, they are 3-0 since the Break, but they also played the Nats. I am a Cubs fan by the way, just so you know.

You're right, you didn't insinuate it, you flat out stated it.

Please REREAD it, then REREAD it again. There is nothing in that sentence, whatsoever, that states that the Cubs need Sherrill to go to the playoffs. It simply states that the Cubs will not go to the playoffs with Marshall, Beimel or Ryan. PERIOD. Nothing more, nothing less. You are reading the insinuation into it. I am flat out telling you there is no insinuation, and I am Sherrill's brother. There is no need for me to insinuate that any team needs him, regardless of what team it is.

      Well he isn't exactly tearing it up since he got sent down.  I think he is something like 6 for 31 since?  Which makes him 8 for 70  (roughly) since his call up. Which is batting around .115 or so for the past month. He has obviously hit a level of talent that he is not handling all that well.  Considering his age, unless he really starts tearing it up?  I would be inclined to leave him down in AAA all year until the late season call ups.

      Some Absurd Trade Ideas from the Reds Forums

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      Roy, man I love you as a sportscaster personality and more importantly as just a genuinely nice person.   I do. But this is why I said last week in the thread you made about how the O's would get blown out by the Yankees that you are saying things lately that don't seem to be making much sense and many other posters would be banned by now for the same things. And don't get me wrong.  I don't want you banned and I hope you keep posting for a long long time.  You are a true O's, albeit very emotional..FAN. But Roy, read the OP.  He clearly said those trade ideas were from a Red's message board. 2 times I believe. Cmonnnnnnnn man!   BTW as far as the actual trade ideas?  Laughable.  Not even being a homer.  But just laughable.

      Which of our position players would be the best catcher?

      By thegardner · Posted

      Kremer is an excellent athlete and I think, think, I heard he had some experience catching.

      One of our friends ran into him at a game. He invite him, his girlfriend, and her two kids up into the owners’ suite to watch the game with him.

      Which of our 8 starters would make the best closer?

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      Kremer is included in that, so we will have to take somebody out of the rotation and it will be a difficult decision. Hopefully we can preserve their ammunition for late in the season, by somehow rotating the rotation.

      Just based on pure stuff to overwhelm hitters at the end of a game, I'd say this would be Grayson Rodriguez. But I'd rather have Grayson Rodriguez as a starter so I went with Albert Suarez because he has some swing and miss in his very good stuff, and I don't want to take Burnes/Bradish/Means/Rodrigez/Irvin out of the Rotation. So by default it goes to the best swing and miss guy we have not in the starting rotation, and I'm mindful of how alot of former starters have become superb closers. (I'm thinking of Smoltz, right off the bat).

      I bet it would be so much fun to sit with him and watch a game and talk baseball. Like you said, he seems like a warm and friendly person, but he's also smart and knows his baseball history (and world history too).
