actually i was just looking at hermansons stats and i really think he should be our no. 5 to start off... he had a couple decent years with the expos as a starter and may be able to recreate that w/ Coop's help... I think he's a better option than anyone else we have for the job now.
Garland does not equal Wells. Garland is a decent 4th starter at this point still with potential to become a 2 or 3. Wells is, in my book, not equivilant to Garland and Garland is definitely worth more than a "maybe" prospect
Diaz is s***loads better than grilli. I went to a game that Diaz threw last year and he was amazing. Went 7 and i dont think gave up a run. Grilli never did anything CLOSE to that.
guys beane "knows what he's doing"
i use quotes cuz im not 100% sure on this but i have a feeling we'll be looking back at these trades with a different perspective than we have now...
Beane may not be the baseball god they say he is but he still isnt an idiot.
i dont think this thread should be deleted because you think its not true... but also its not like we'd be "in" the deal. The deal would be made then we'd trade with LA so its not unfeasable but i dont like it.
we've aparently "traded" Paulie, Garland and Marte for Vazquez in the whole RJ trade... But the only place that's talking about it is the Dodger board and one NY newspaper... we're all confused.
