He_Gawn Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 As for that columnist discrediting this brboiler dude because of the Gary harris situation.. You can't do that. Gary Harris' dad was at Purdue and Indiana multiple times during the recruit, even during the final days leading up the annoucement because he goes there on business trips multiple times per week. I'm guessing he knows nothing of the Harris recruitment.. It was incredibly tight-lipped. Insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 04:30 PM) Would Thornton, Floyd, and Beckham command that sort of package? I doubt it but was going to throw it out there. Quite possibly, but I see cash going from us to them in that deal, otherwise AA just picked up about $14 mill right there for next year alone (if my memory is right).

They obviously know a lot more about Drabek than we do. I would be willing to bet that if we could get Drabek too, it's because they believe he's cooked, which may end up being a bad thing.

The one thing I'd say about Floyd right now is...if the return isn't really solid, there's no reason to move him. We've shed a lot of salary already, we've cleared out the guys we needed to move, other salary might well be moveable later this season...if we can't get a solid deal for Floyd that makes us better by 2013, there's little reason to move him.

DirtySox Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Surprised no one has mentioned Jake Marisnick. Probably untouchable, but I think he's going to be a stud. Edited January 5, 2012 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 NotKenWilliams: ITS TRUE!!! I'm trading Gavin Floyd to Toronto for Cito Gaston's used jock strap. on Jan. 5 at 04:58 p.m. I would extremely unhappy with this deal. I guess it makes sense as a salary dump though.

fathom Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 There's a part of me that thinks it's a big mistake for Kenny to not try and get a catching prospect in some of these trades. Of course, he'll probably just sign Suzuki next offseason and we'll have to hear Hawk rave about him 162 games a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
