2010 Offseason Wheeling and Dealing

Sorry SF...I would take Marquis in a second. I know it's not possible, but wouldn't it be nice if we got Marquis and Garland? I know, I know..but it's nice to dream.

i'm cool with that

[houston-nat]

I think I remember that Marquis has been to the playoffs every single year of his career.

I'm not down for Marquis.

Much rather have Pineiro and someone like Doug Davis.

[cmdterps44]

My point exactly.  Even though Marquis has the NY thing, if your logic is, "Marquis will want to play for a winner" then same goes for Garland.

yea I was hoping he'd say something since he totally blew off my question and then he asks the same thing for Garland. His logic =

Per MLBTraderumors.com: Stark is reporting that the Phillies have jumped into the Marquis sweepstakes now.

I'm down with a Pineiro signing.

[PatsNats28]

i thought that was already known

[DPMOmaha]

I'd take Marquis in a New York minute.  I'd take Marquis and Garland (or equivalent) even quicker.

That's SF's proven winner requirement. WTF?

The guy is a good swingman. Everyone was ok with Livo coming back. Marquis is a younger, healthier, somewhat better, Jewish Livo. What's the problem?

Marquis also cost about 8-9 million dollars more a year.

Toronto expressed interest in Craig Stammen, but the Nats are not expected to trade him.

Craig Stammen could be valuable in the rotation or as a reliever for the Nationals.

Rizzo: 'Livan Hernandez is a guy we've always liked. He's one of many pitchers we're interested in.'

Rizzo: 'We still have to make decisions...to open roster spots before Rule 5 Draft and Saturday's tender deadline.'

Rizzo: 'there is a larger pool of available second basemen than shortstops.'

Rizzo: 'we'll be up late tonight talking to agents and other teams.'

Rizzo: 'We have a lot of irons in the fire.'

[sportsfan882]

Why do we have to clear space for the Rule-5? I thought we traded our pick.

[Lintyfresh85]

You get more than one. You have as many as open roster spaces available.

[sportsfan882]

ok. that's right. well it sounds like Riz is interested in making at least one pick.

His doing everything right so far. In on ALL the free agents up to a point, not just 1 big fish. Signing the pieces we need. I'm happy.

[Lintyfresh85]

I certainly wouldn't call Pudge a 'right' move.

What pieces has he signed?

[cmdterps44]

sweet tweets

[PatsNats28]

was that unintentional by ladson, or was that a jab at balester? ladson doesnt seem the type.

[tomterp]

Ladson's probably heard talk by club officials.

[PatsNats28]

i know, but its still not a nice thing to say to him, considering hes expecting to start. its like bursting his bubble.
