RibbieRubarb Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 While experiencing the one the best games since the McDowell/Johnson duel in '93, I was think what a shame it was Mulder(an admitted Sox fan) was pitching for the A's. A team he probably grew up hating in the late 80's. Then I thought: Was MB still pining for the St. Louie lifestyle? Too bad we can't orchestrate a 3-way trade... MB to St. Louis JD Drew and Vina to Oakland Mulder to Chicago. I figured Beane covets Drew, Bo Hart makes Vina tradable and the emergance of Harden would still give Oakland a "Big Three" Maybe I think too much during a game...

rafacosta Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 , I was think what a shame it was Mulder(an admitted Sox fan) was pitching for the A's Is mulder a Sox fan??? And yes, i think you are thinking too much in the game, no way that Beane would want just Viña and Drew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Do you know how f***ing sweet it would be if, when he becomes a FA, he signed with us? That would be awesome. Then we'd have to resign Buehrle of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured Beane covets Drew, Bo Hart makes Vina tradable and the emergance of Harden would still give Oakland a "Big Three" Only problem with that scenario is, we'd be giving up MB to St Louis. I'm greedy. I'd cream over a rotation of EL, MB, BC, Mulder, and Garland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a pretty good trade, with the one exception being vina's salary. Oakland would want Vina for free. And would probably want a minor leaguer too. In the end though, Stl, would not want to give up Drew, Vina, and a minor leaguer just for Buehrle. So the deal would only work if we tossed in more to Stl. Overall though, I think you had your thinking cap on during the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I never said it would happen. We all have fantasies you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 No! ... If Beane trades Mulder to us, you can bet his fastball will lose 8-10 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Beane won't want Drew & Vina. But he might want Renteria to replace Tejada. I doubt if STL does it. There will be plenty of arms available for sale in FA & they have the $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
