Quiet day out there.

Evan Grant does have a Q&A with Molly Erdman up on the DMN blog, with her thoughts on the Rangers and baseball.

As I mentioned before, Ben also has a thing for her. I think we need to set up a death cage match between Ben and Evan as to who gets to be Molly's #1 fan.

Anyone

who names their cat after Steve Buechele is good people. Although, the revelation that she has a boyfriend is a downer

Every girl SAYS she has a boyfriend.

It’s irrelevant.

Coincidence

Anyone else think it’s an odd coincidence that EG and Ben have a crush on someone that does Sonic commercials?

Looks like Ms. Erdman went to Greenhill too. Hey Ben, how can you like someone that went there?

Inside a death cage.

With the character Molly Erdmann does for Sonic, it would be better to have Evan and Ben in a pickup, behind them or beside them at Sonic, honking furiously and have Erdmann say “I wonder how it’s been since they’ve been fed?”

Julio Borbon

Singled, stole 2nd, later scored on a single in the top of the 1st.
Then left the game for a defensive sub before the start of the bottom of the 1st.
Trade or injury?

by shroomer on Nov 17, 2008 4:50 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Not a guy I’d predict gets traded…

I like Chad Tracy

Borbon too. But I love Johnny Whittleman :)

I find her sexy and intelligent...I'm sure Adam disagrees due to this:

Molly: “On the subject of bad trades, note to Jon Daniels; when White Sox GM Kenny Williams is shopping a pitcher around it means the guy is done. Brandon McCarthy for John Danks could hurt for years.”

TR mailbag

Just went online…

With Boston possibly needing a catcher if Jason Varitek leaves, what else would it take for Boston to take on Jarrod Saltalamacchia or Max Ramirez for, say, Clay Buchholz or Justin Masterson?
— Timothy S., Greenville, Texas

The Rangers want Buchholz for Saltalamacchia. The Red Sox aren’t trading Buchholz yet. That could change if they sign A.J. Burnett or another high-priced pitcher, or if they can’t re-sign Varitek. The two teams aren’t at an impasse, but they are waiting to see if the other blinks.

Seems like an eminently sane take, especially since Boston can definitely land a name-brand FA starting pitcher.

How about that Sports Illustrated trade? Francisco Liriano for Hank Blalock, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Elvus Andrus, and Omar Poveda?
— Will S., Fort Wayne, Ind.

The Twins have Joe Mauer, so they don’t need Saltalamacchia. They have Jason Kubel so they don’t need Blalock. This trade doesn’t do much for the Twins immediately.

The Reds need a catcher; the Rangers need pitching. What about one of the Rangers catchers for Homer Bailey?
— Chris A., Rockwall, Texas

Certainly you would trade Max Ramirez for him but you would prefer a proven young pitcher for Saltalamacchia or Laird rather than uncertain potential.

Bailey for Max would require pristine medical and scouting reports, but yeah.
