fathom Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 So Grady Sizemore looks to have regained some of his magic. Always thought a team should have tried to trade for him when he was hurt and go with high risk/high reward player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem like the Indians to trade a player that talented while his value is that low. Maybe the Yankees (found a replacement) or the Marlins (way too expensive), but not the Indians. They seem to do whatever they can to capitalize on any and all value they can get out of a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured someone would make a run at Sizemore as well, but I knew they would never trade him to us unless we basically gave them a package they knew no one else could touch...and I'm not even sure they would have dealt him to us then.

Any team can get any player. It's just dependent upon what one team is willing to give up. In the immortal words of the Million Dollar Man, everybody's got a price.

Yeah, I suppose you're right...but I think the price would have been much, much higher for us and the Tigers and Twins than the rest of the league.

On the other hand, at least we're not losing ground to them either. Blackburn looks shaky right now. Rays sweep feels very doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Twins down 15-3 and had to bring in Capps cause the rest of the bullpen couldn't finish the game. Good to see in a DH opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Mileage Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Royals have lost 5 in a row, back to .500 baseball. Gordon also lost his 19-game hitting streak last night, he got robbed of at least 2 hits. Jeff Francoeur has a 16-game hitting streak. Think about how remarkable that is...

KC fans are hoping home will cure what ails the Royals. It definitley was a rotten road trip for the boys in Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
