Trade Deadline Thread

[VOLNBAMA]

just about, he's hit 40 HR for 4 straight seasons and will easily get it this season. The only season where he didn't get 100 RBI was in 06. This is not counting his first first 3 seasons.

Tex to Arizona rumors.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

been hearing them for about a week now and if i were to predict what happens, i would say Tex will be a Brave for the rest of the season.

 

[vols kick balls]

That could change quickly, though, because a front office source from another team interested in Teixeira just told Yahoo! Sports' Steve Henson that negotiations between the Diamondbacks and Braves were "pretty far along." The Braves are said to be asking for a prospect and either Conor Jackson or Chad Tracy in return.

Came out today.

Im feeling a Manny for Tex trade...






:lol:

 

[VOLNBAMA]

If Arizona is willing to part with Conor Jackson then Tex will be gone, but Arizona doesn't want to trade him.

 

[vols_are_champs]

Arizona would trade him.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

No they don't want to trade him. Do some research before posting.

 

[vols kick balls]

Arizona would trade him.

I'm sure they are jumping all over themselves to trade a guy that is outproducing the guy they are trading for. If there is going to be a deal it would have to be Tracy involved, not Jackson.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

i would do Tracy and Parker for Tex but anything less i say take the picks.

 

[vols_are_champs]

I didn't say they wanted to. I said they would.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Your Braves future ace was shipped back to the minors...if you replace your Jo-Jo pic with Jair then you might have something...

 

[VOLNBAMA]

i still believe in Jo-Jo but i've been meaning to add Jair to it for a while now.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

In the time it took you to make the pic under your sig Chipper and Mike Hampton were both placed on the DL.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

I think you mean Hudson not Hampton.

Angels first baseman Casey Kotchman was pulled off the field during pregame warmups this afternoon at Fenway Park. And there are strong indications he is about to be traded to the Braves for Mark Teixeira, according to a source with knowledge of those discussions. Details are still being finalized, and additional, lesser names are expected to be involved. But Kotchman for Teixeira is the core of this deal.

No I meant Hampton. I was being sarcastic.

I would absolutely love this trade for the Braves.

 

[vols kick balls]

I'm not a huge Kotchman fan. It would depend on the other players involved for me.

 

[TrueOrange]

and tex has left the bulding

 

[vols kick balls]

The other player is apparently Stephen Marek. I'd say that is a solid return for Tex. Nothing out of this world but solid.

Guy strikes out quite a few based on innings pitched...he must throw hard or have sick stuff from the left side...

He is a righty. Know nothing of him but noticed the Ks as well.
