Sun: O's swap Wolf for Fox

[The Wedge]

Anything else would be...inconceivable!

You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[ChaosLex]

Now, claim Encarnacion!!!!

And trade Izturis for Wood!!!!!!!!

[Moose Milligan]

OPS'd .779 for the Cubs last year. 11 homers in 241 plate appearances.

Maybe we'll get a homer from first base before the ASB.

[ChaosLex]

In other news, Jake Fox was just seen jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.

[hatepaste]

Confrimed from WNST as well.

He has to be on the MLB roster. I say that Montanez is gone, especially with Pie hoping to be back soon.

[Moose Milligan]

I'd honestly rather release Montanez and keep Atkins. Yes, you read that right. Don't get me wrong, Atkins needed to go two months ago, but Montanez needed to go before him. He rots on the bench worse than Pie did last year, and he adds nothing to the team. How he's still taking up space is beyond me.

They both need to go

Anybody want a peanut?

[NewMarketSean]

Where is he gonna play? LF? He has 8 games at 1B in the majors.

Your name is Jake Fox. You have just joined the Baltimore Orioles. Prepare to lose.

Look at our infield. Since when does it matter where a player has played before?

[TonySoprano]

After re-reading Moose's post, I think we can't send Fox to Norfolk without putting him through waivers.

Which also creates the question, couldn't we have just made a waiver claim from Oakland? Probably what we're giving up is inconsequential, but what does a trade do for us that a waiver claim doesn't?

Ensures that he becomes a waiver claim?

Couldn't anyone else trade for him in the interim?

I think it guarantees that we get him. Other teams could put in a trade bid for him.

Maybe they go to the back of the line if they claim a player?

Maybe they have their sights on Encarnacion too?
