Twins wanted way too much and I'm not high on Upton. If we end up staying pat in CF when all is said and done, that's fine.

There was talk the Yankees had an interest in Burnett

UMDNats · « **Reply #1727 on:** July 31, 2011, 03:43:33 pm »

Deals that have happened Sunday:

Bourn to ATL
Adams to TEX
Ziegler to ARZ
Furcal to LA

sweet deadline

I'd be surprised if the Yakima Water Buffalos have an interest in Burnett.

The Nationals would be smart to pull Storen out of any deal for Span.

I already posted one that questioned the trade, and there's another that questions it.

It is not a unified opinion that it is a great trade.

I wanted us to get a CFer, just not at the expense of losing Storen

Sure, we all wanted Stairs dealt for one. A good one.

In a way I'm happy we're going to keep Storen, but I'm also extremely disappointed that we have to watch this team as is for the rest of the season.

It's also mind boggling that we sent Bernie down and didn't trade him. Losing support for Rizzo by the day.

We will. It just probably won't be at the deadline, which is fine. That stat they had at the beginning of the game needs to change. 27 CFs in, what, the past 6 seasons is way too many...

From that article:

The Angels need a reliever, and a Todd Coffey or Sean Burnett-led package could sway them to part with Peter Bourjos. That might be a stretch, but the Nats could get creative.

I feel bad for Roger Bernadina. He's played his heart out for us, especially while making some incredible hustle plays in CF, and the GM just hates him. It's got to be tough for him to keep going up and down between D.C. and Syracuse. After this season I hope he finds a team that actually wants him, and I really hope it's not in the NL East because the Shark is going to be a very good ballplayer.

#Nats and #Twins NOT close on Span, source says.

Bourjos would be a good pickup

Good!

Span is overrated and Storen will be a great closer for us for years to come.

A week of teasing leads to us going home to Rick Ankiel at the end of the night.

Yeah, THAT'S the reason he keeps getting sent down.

For now. I'd imagine they'll revisit after the season...

That's what sickens me - but less than if we gave up Storen.

Actually that's not a very controversial statement I made. Even Rizzo's biggest supporters around here will likely admit that he clearly can't stand Bernadina.

Mathguy · « **Reply #1745 on:** July 31, 2011, 03:50:13 pm »

I say give them both Burnett and Coffey

Sucks like no other . Rizzo acquired no Major League pieces at the deadline. Awful

Game over. Make the deal - Coffey and Burnett - yeah!

Make that happen

(no chance it happens)

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #1748 on:** July 31, 2011, 03:51:28 pm »

So glad we are stuck with Bixler and Ankiel

I'm not an unabashed Rizzo supporter and I don't see anyone can draw that conclusion.

It seems like Bernadina is the logical choice to keep sending to the minors since he's the one who can be sent without having to DFA him. Sorry for trying to make sense.
