SSH2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Did you stop and think that perhaps the Phillies didn't want Marte and/or Borchard or that they could be moving in another deal? :banghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 ooo no i was just saying, was it a possiblity? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We will never know. Don't be surprised if Marte is traded for someone else, possibly Pierre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Oh goodness. The Sox parted with one of the better defensive CF in all of baseball, a great clubhouse guy, and two of the best pitching prospects in the system and you ask why a trade surrounding Marte and Borchard couldn't work? Rest assured, Damaso will not be a part of this team in 2006. Meh, I'll put the GM hat on for a second: If nothing else, how about a Damaso Marte-Ray King swap. Both are lefties. Both seem unhappy in their current locations--King has told the Cardnials he wants to be traded, Damaso shot himself in the foot--both have comparable numbers, and it makes sense on paper. Ray King is also a Chicago native. Never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Josh Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Borchard will be traded. Who knows about Marte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 KW will try to put together a combo platter involving Marte. He probably still has a little market value left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 My new sense is that Florida WONT want Marte. Now that they are dismantling, I don't think their previous interest will still be there. Marte will get traded slewhere I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 07:07 AM) Borchard will be traded. Who knows about Marte. Personally, I still like Borchard getting the Timo Perez role this year. He's cheaper than Timo (Timo's contract would pay Borchard and Anderson's salary), he can't possibly do worse than "Clutch bloop single" Timo, and if by some miracle he comes out and hits .250 with 10-20 home runs off the bench during the season, then maybe we can hold onto him another year and really turn him into a decent trade piece. If he can't do that, then at least he's cheap and he gives us some power off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 This thread is hilarious... Believe it or not other GM's aren't making trades with us so we can improve and they get worse... Fact is that Borchard has about as much trade value as a dog doo you pick up in the front yard... He will be released soon enough... As for Marte... some GM will give up something for him hoping to fix him... and maybe they can... but I doubt the Phillies would of creamed their pants over that deal...

DBAHO Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 My guess is we're holding onto Marte, simply for the fact, is there a better replacement out there on the FA Market? No, probably not. So in essence, if you trade Marte, you'll have to trade for a good replacement lefty LOOGY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
