T.R. Sullivan mailbag

by Adam J. Morris on Jan 2, 2008 7:11 PM CST in News

T.R. Sullivan has a new mailbag up, with the lead item being a "why did the Rangers trade pitching???" whine that apparently was the dominant theme of recent emails to Sullivan.

And, of course, we have a classic ridiculous three-way trade proposal that is extremely lopsided towards one of the three teams...and if you guessed it is the team that starts with an "R" and ends in "angers," you are right!

"Clearly, we know now that Volquez was the Rangers' best trade chip."

What makes that a true statement?

Maybe

Maybe he was the best trade chip the Rangers were willing to move at this point? Just a guess.

Well

Maybe not best overall trade chip, but probably the best trade chip the team was willing to use.

My guess

He was trying to make the point that a talent like Hamilton takes a serious prospect and for them to give him up for Volquez and change must mean he was definitely a good trade chip.

To take it further he must think that no other trade chip we have could have gotten Hamilton pretty much straight up.

Sorry meant for that to be in reply to Trosey

3-way

I think that proposal was a joke. I hope it was, anyway. It's getting harder and harder to read the mailbags.

Im tired of reading his mailbags. To me they are phony. The questions are a joke and his answers are too. I dont understand why he doesn't answer some serious questions and actually answer them like he cares.
