lostfan Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 QUOTE (BearSox @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 09:35 AM) It'll be funny if the rumor we all dismiss right away as BS is the rumor that comes true. I agree that this is garbage though. If by "funny" you mean "tragic and horrible" then yes, I agree it would be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think we should have a rule against posting links to Bleacher Report. I could go on there right now and report that the White Sox are getting David Wright in a deal for a bunch of scrubs. There's no news merit to that site.

scenario Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Twins Showing Interest In Jarrod Washburn story on mlbtraderumors starting on Monday MONDAY, 8:49pm: According to John Hickey of the Seattle Post-Intellegencer, the Twins have "some interest" in dealing for left-hander Jarrod Washburn. Hickey writes that the Mariners and Twins discussed a deal last week that would have sent Washburn and catcher Jeff Clement to Minnesota for 23-year-old outfielder Delmon Young. It's not known whether that particular deal fell through, but it's likely. The pieces just don't seem to fit. Washburn, 34, went 5-14 last season with a 4.69 ERA and the Twins already have a young, All-Star catcher. TUESDAY, 7:37pm: Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star Tribune writes that the Twins have "lost their appetite for a Jarrod Washburn trade." It probably had something to do with his $10.35MM '09 salary. Sound familiar? (1) Seattle talking to AL Central team (2) Washburn + prospect (3) Young talented outfielder in return Sounds like the young M's blogger simply swapped out Young for Quentin to create a new rumor.

Chi Town Sox Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 07:58 AM) lol, wow. Hey I have an idea, let's trade Dewayne Wise for Hanley Ramirez! I would definitely do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) I think we should flood the other sites with trade rumors. Obviously they don't have to be true or even realistic so let's go. I have heard a rumor that Boston wants to trade Babe Ruth to the NY Yankmees. That is ludicrous Edited February 4, 2009 by elrockinMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 08:16 AM) I wonder if the Mariners are on Dye's no trade list. Maybe there's a deal possible with them but not for TCQ. I think KW would trade TCQ if he were to get the right package and that package would have to begin with MLB proven stud starting pitching with lots of years before free agency. In other words, not very likely to happen. Why would you give up one of the best young hitters in baseball for guys like Washburn when there are cheap free agent pitchers available. If this rumor is not complete bs, then they must mean a trade around Dye. for whatever reason, rebuilding teams generally don't like to bring in 35 year old players.

Melissa1334 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 why is it that all this off season ive read rumors about the twins maybe trading delmon young? is it because they dont want him because of his adittude or because he wasnt as good as they thought hed be...?

It makes more sense as the Sox wanting a 10 million dollar 5-14 Washburn for TCQ. Obviously the rumor is really about the Twins and Young. I'm just trying to guess what KW is up to if the Abreu offer is true. Man, when is spring training? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Ok here's a question. If you were offered Felix Hernandez for Carlos Quentin, what would your response be? Would you ask for Morrow to be included in the deal also (with the Sox likely giving up something back I would think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably more that Denard Span's development + Cuddyer coming back from injury creates a logjam in the outfield. Somebody is going to sit... or get traded.

And considering that his K rate could increase due to his stuff and that his BB rate will almost certainly come down with maturity, he's almost certainly going to be one of the best pitchers in the league very, very soon. It's always a question of durability, and he's been good enough thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
