Rowand44 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Trading Brandon for Andruw Jones would have been a bad idea. I'm very happy that Kenny balked at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy that Kenny balked at this. Last year pre Jim Thome this might have been worth considering, but right now, we have plenty of offense signed long term, and we have to make sure we have the money to pay this team. Don't forget we still have to work on an extension for Buehrle soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zygoat Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 i dont know if i would act on this trade immediately. Sure it would help our offense (possibly D too) but it would hurt our pitching too much. Our pitching was amazing last year and we had little to no offense. This year our pitching blows and our Offense is alot better (with thome), but if we trade our only young gun away for another superstar, then we turn into the 2004 team where we have to score 6+ runs to win a game. Andrew jones has not been great this year and i would rather hold on to Bmac and have him for the stretch if someone goes down (we already traded away the rest of our starting AAA pitchers).
