Angel Pagan Drawing Trade Interest

If the Bradley for Burrell deal happens, do you think we could get Castillo and Pagan for Burrell?

If Lou didn't want to play Pagan in 2007

What makes you think he’ll use him 2010? He was only used on the Mets as much as he was due to injuries. While he played decently for them, I think the Cubs want a more established CF.

Kinda doubt the Mets would give up that much for Pat Burrell.

I think they just want to lose Castillo.

Wow, Angel really did have a nice 2009 – .358 wOBA. Good for him. I don’t quite understand why the Mets wouldn’t hang on to him as a fourth outfielder at least.

I think they were unhappy with his baserunning

Not good for a role player, but a perfit fit to start with the Cubs! He could bat in front of Theriot….

perfect + fit = perfit

Makes total sense. Add it to the BCB dictionary!

It'd be perfit for that!

well, by that definition, the Cubs certainly are a not-for-perfit organization...

angel pagan is any better of a player than he was with us. Unless that power development is real, it seems like he simply had a lucky season. Anyhow, I don’t think there’s a real big chance that we explore Angel Pagan.

My latest brainstorm

Bradley and money for Burrell.
Burrell and a minor-leaguer for Castillo and Pagan.
Pagan and Marshall (and maybe Clevenger) for David DeJesus of the Royals and a minor league prospect.

Cubs give up Bradley, Marshall, maybe one minor prospect, and cash to add DeJesus and Castillo. They fill two holes with veteran, high-floor players and hang onto their top prospects.

Submit that to the wacky trade proposal list to see it is wacky or not

My personal opinion, it is worth looking into. DeJesus can fly, but our last Royals outfielder experiement didn’t work too well.

Y'know...I kinda like this.

Not sure whether the Royals would trade DeJesus for Pagan but, hey, I kinda like it.

You'd probably have to give the Mets more than that.

OK

Maybe give them Fuld, too, and possibly Stevens rather than the nameless minor leaguer.

What Chicago Cubs Online said..

was that the Royals had contacted us about Jake Fox. Maybe him in the deal for DeJesus?

you know, as in Henry Higgins

He’s that guy that made a bet he could take an unruly ballplayer with a bit of a checkered past and turn him into a charming, feel-good, clubhouse leader. Great story, and then someone turned it into a musical called “My Fair Bradley”.

Geez, daver, you should get out more…

Pagán is a good hitter and a fast runner.

Not an intelligent one, though. It’s tough to predict his future because he has been injured most of his major league career, including his stint with the Cubs. However, he has proven he can hit when he is healthy. If so, I think Lou would play him even if he makes a few outs running the bases. That is unless a better player is available to play CF.

by Fraggin Judge on Dec 3, 2009 10:11 PM CST reply actions

What about this...

Bradley for Burrell
Burrell and Gray for Castillo and Pagan
Hoff and Pagan for DeJesus

by Don't Fear the Reaper on Dec 4, 2009 9:14 AM CST reply actions

Why would the Royals want Hoffpauir?

They already have two or three DH types who can’t hit.

Ok then, maybe they want Castillo

by Don't Fear the Reaper on Dec 4, 2009 10:20 AM CST reply actions

How about

Bradley for Burrell
Burrell for Pie
Pie, Hoffpauir and Theriot for Beltran and Castillo.

Oh, wait – wacky trades was last week.

The Mets don’t want Burrell. They’d be more likely to stick Danny Murphy back out there for a fraction of the salary.

Yeah, that's a good point.

I don’t see the Mets wanting either Bradley or Burrell, to be honest.

Hey, how 'bout this!

Bradley for Purrell. Yeah, the antibacterial stuff. A truckload of it. They could make everyone coming in to Wrigley take a squirt. Cleaner fans, better team.
