Heads22 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) Who really wants him though? He's not overly expensive, has a ring, is a lefty bat, will catch every day and the thought is he could easily return to his norms. A number of teams may be looking at him as a buy low veteran.

fathom Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 01:20 AM) At this point, anybody on the roster not named Jake Peavy (I'm still a believer), Gordon Beckham, Alex Rios, Matt Thornton and Sergio Santos is fair game, IMO. Even if you're a believer in Peavy, you should jump at the chance to trade him if someone is willing to take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think Buehrle is moving. His post-trade contract status would be prohibitive, and I still think the fan base would be most upset with moving him.

Even though I don't think we gave up anything worth a s*** for him, I don't think the value we'd get back would be very good. I think you'd have better luck either playing out the string with him this year and dealing him in the offseason if you're determined to move him or let him pitch into 2011. I still think he's going to improve his numbers, right now would be the ultimate sell-low on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if someone is basically willing to take on his contract, I think you bail and use that money in different ways. And I'm sorry, Richard is a decent starting pitcher.

Nobody jumped at him last year when he was a Padre. Why would that change a year later, especially with his struggles?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 08:27 PM) Nobody jumped at him last year when he was a Padre. Why would they change a year later, especially with his struggles? Well, to be fair, last year he was hurt and the Cubs have tried numerous times to get him, for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
