Maggs to Montreal??

[spataro51]

Hey what about this as a suggestion for kenny.

We all know that montreal has let vlad g. go by not giving him arbitration. They also traded away vazquez. Which means that they really don't have a big name player on their team if you don;'t consider vidro a big name player.

What if we trade maggs (14 mil) and willie harris (700,000 i think) and Danny Wright (850,000 i think) to the expos for vidro (8 mil) and livian hernandez(6 mil) and some c level prospects. This gives the expos their big name player to replave vlad and willie harris at 2nd next to nick johnson. Danny wright will take Livian's spot in the rotation. Maybe danny and a change of scenery will do him good. Montreal really isn;'t adding any payroll because it is almost like a swap.

For the sox this would be great, we would be filling a huge hole at second base, and also filling a hole in our rotation. What do you guys think?

No. Montreal will just about give Hernandez away.

The Expos would be nuts not to make that trade cause they'd have a star RF and that money off their books next year. At the same time the Sox would also be nuts to trade Maggs for Livan and Vidro. Now if they somehow were getting another good player in return, then I'd think it be plausible.

 

I do like how you made the salaries work out though, cause thats the only way something like this would happen.

here's my winter meeting blockbuster prediction.

 

Rockies get:

Konerko, owed 16-17 mil next two years?

maggs, owed 14 mil next year.

 

Sox get:

todd helton, owed an average of 16.6mil for next 8 yrs?

cash about 4 mil

a couple minor leaguers

 

why rockies would do the deal:

1. they get out of helton's massive contract, that would be huge for them.

2. they get a superstar in maggs to replace fan favorite helton, maggs would be awesome in coors, so may konerko.

3. they can either resign maggs or let his 14 mill off the books after the season.

4. yeah they have to pay konerko over two years but he could put up huge #'s there and 17 mill compared to the rest of helton's contract is nothing, peanuts.

 

why the sox would do it:

1. they get a bona-fide all-star first baseman who can flat out rake. if you think it's just because of coors, take a look at his three year splits, his road obp is over .400 and road ops is like .950 he is a stud anywhere.

2. they get out of konerko's contract and maggs for '04 plus four mill= 36mill

helton's 04 salary is around 16 mil i think, that's twenty million in savings.

3. what you do is hope that helton has his typical all-star season .340 avg, 35-40hr's 140rbi's sox make playoffs, win world series.

4. after winning the series you trade helton to boston or yankees or mets or angels or baltimore. then the sox would have konerko, maggs and helton's salary off the books.

 

 

ok back to reality.
