4 team trade!!!

by pedrophile on Dec 2, 2007 11:54 PM EST

NY trades:
Joba
Hughes
Tabata
Cano
Kennedy

Boston:
Ellsbury
Buchholz
Lester
Masterson
Lowrie

Minnesota:
Santana

St. Louis:
Eckstein (knows how to win)

NY is able to shift Jeter to SS and Eckstein can move to SS improving D and offense. Santana is the obvious best player in the deal so Boston and NY agree to alternate starts where he pitches for one team and then the other. When facing each other he will start for the home team but can come on in relief for the visiting team.

btw: the best feature of this trade is all boston and ny rookies are gone and we don't have to listen to all these hughes vs. chicken salad sandwhich offers.

I guess we'll have to hold off the wedding?

Nice...

God rested one day out of 7, Felix rests 4 out of 5.

hmm

NY is able to shift Jeter to SS

Where was he playing before? Maybe this is why his fielding stats have been so bad.

and boom goes the dynamite.

Mmmmmm...

...I'll take the chicken salad sandwich, only if you put it on a croissant.

isnt eckstein a free agent?

is it fair to assume this is a joke?

"You also must admit, that outside of the facts, I made a compelling argument!"

by jbluestone on Dec 3, 2007 12:03 AM EST reply actions

lol

yes, it's a joke... the tipoff is that eckstein is a free agent.

by jpahk on Dec 3, 2007 12:12 AM EST up reply actions

Or

that the Sox and Yankees would share Santana...

by tpeichel34 on Dec 3, 2007 12:19 AM EST up reply actions

everything seemed reasonable...

....to me.

now if the Yanks had offered up both Hughes AND the sandwich, i'd have known something was fishy.

lol

we always knew you were quick on the uptake.

btw: I miss the conversations on memory, free will, etc. those were a lot of fun. And in light of the bs that went around here it was honestly the one of the few reasons I stayed. That and IndiansFan!

by pedrophile on Dec 3, 2007 12:56 AM EST up reply actions

agreed

it's kind of a relief, though, that there's been some ON-topic diaries worth discussing (and that don't completely degenerate into name-calling) lately. even if most of them are about Johan Santana. so i suppose it's just as well that we haven't had to resort to anything as tangential as theory of mind, etc.

plus, it's reading period before my first semester of law school finals, so it's just as well that there's no 20,000 word posts for me to make!

regardless, i guess we'll have to save those topics for a rainy day -- though it's possible we can figure out how to turn an Ellsbury v. Hughes debate into a discussion of consciousness?

by bleedjaxblue on Dec 3, 2007 1:45 AM EST up reply actions

well

we could discuss the social contract and compare that with the Sox & Yankees vs. the rest of the league.

Or maybe we can look at how prospects are view pre/post NY/Bos. I'm sure there is some interesting aspects of that. Hanley Ramirez went from a star to a bum overnight.

I'm thinking there is a limited group IQ per city. That means the bigger the city the dumber the people since they have to share those neurons. Damn, I wish I lived in a small town. I'll have to make due with those shrinking neurons, etc.

But since you live in LA you are screwed, LOL.

Palo Alto

not LA

the affection for the Dodgers has always been long-distance

ahhh

it's really the restraining order Ned had to get?

by pedrophile on Dec 3, 2007 6:54 PM EST up reply actions

if he thinks...

....that's going to protect him, he's kidding himself.

in this case, he really does have it coming to him.

by bleedjaxblue on Dec 4, 2007 12:12 AM EST up reply actions

Palo Alto...

great place. I used to live there. I remember watching Quentin, Garko, Gosling, Guthrie and my favorite college player of all time-Sam Fuld over at Stanford. Good times.

by bl on Dec 3, 2007 10:39 PM EST up reply actions

i'm definitely a fan

grown up here, then gone to Stanford undergrad and now law school.

the weather is really, really hard to give up. cold and humidity both just seem so......pointless.

where'd you move to that you decided was so much better?

by bleedjaxblue on Dec 4, 2007 12:13 AM EST up reply actions

not sure what to say

but that's pretty funny. Nice to bring back the chicken salad sandwich out of hiding; that's a classic run.

answer: none

although Molitor had 3 key years with Toronto to boost his HOF stock.

as a Jay

ahhh, you were cheating. lol. Because Bobby Doer would be the 1st Jay since he went in 1 year before Niekro.

A quagmire...

"Boston and NY agree to alternate starts where he pitches for one team and then the other.

Of course he'll change uniforms between innings on Sunday, April 15th as he's penciled in as both teams #1...

Melky's not in the deal...

because he's going to hit 30 jacks.

OT

But this is probably the best thread to put it, but AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

I can't believe that @&*@! Ravens' coach called that timeout on the 4th & 1. I would have fired him 10 seconds after the Hail Mary came up two yards short. Mahalo
