I wouldn't be upset enought to sacrifice a live rooster or anything

Holy crap

Of all the fake trades that could be plucked from the “rumor mill” and posted here, this is the best you could do? Why on earth would the White Sox make a deal like that? Kevin Friggin Hart?

BCB, home of the insidious campaign of the clueless to "Dustyfy" an outstanding manager in Lou Piniella.

This sounds exactly

like the type of trade Towers was looking for in the XX Radio interview…he wanted outfielders, pitching AND indfielders

so...

he didn’t want what???? batboys? managers?

OF’s, IF’s, and Pitchers you say?

If this is accurate...

…then, uhh, YAY!

This trade...

Not to tell you your business

but past the Rosenthal feed, there isn’t any source on Bleacher Report that has any inside knowledge of anything.

And for the record, that ’s damn near an entire baseball team changing addresses. Not going to happen.

by Damen Jackson on Nov 17, 2008 9:34 PM CST reply actions

The only way this trade ever happens is if

the “Plus prospects from both sides” are couple of the top prospects from the cubbies. But if we are trading Vitters who cares who we have to give up after him.

I dont see how Dye would fit in with this team though

And that trade seems a bit too convoluted

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

What an absolute load of nonsense this is.

You got sucked in to that? Please. There’s no way any deal like this is ever going to happen.

Ever.

Normally I say don't hate on people for posting fantasy trades

But yeah, this is awful.

This is so stupid its funny

The Cubs get the two best players in that deal. I’m sure Kenny Williams would just love to give his cross town rivals a deal that good while only getting back Kevin Hart.

LOL

Yeah, Kyle Banks is peanuts. I suggest looking him up.

The trade is absurd. The White Sox would be looking for players who could play now, but Kyle Banks has a ton of talent.

It's Blanks and he could be the RH Prince Fielder

6’6" and 270 lbs already

by rlpete on Nov 18, 2008 8:42 AM CST up reply actions

Yeah, he does look like he has talent...

… but is probably a year or two away. He just turned 22.

Oh, I get it

Hendry got Towers and Williams wasted and then got them to make this deal. NFW this could happen.

Maybe the White Sox will throw in Buehrle too

Doesn’t it look a little one sided?

by rlpete on Nov 18, 2008 8:41 AM CST reply actions

Count me against

Any trade that gets the Cubs Jermaine Dye. Dye is an absolute statue in RF. They may as well get Ibanez or Dunn out there. Dye is a slow defender who is only getting slower.

Finally, after trading the #3 prospect in the system, to now trade Vitters is a bad idea, IMO.

Y'know it's one thing...

…to come up with a detailed trade scenario yourself – no matter how outlandish – and put some time and thought into describing it. And it’s another to post a link to another blog’s outlandish trade scenario with not even the faintest attempt to analyze it. This fanpost is the epitome of laziness.
