Quick review everybody: We traded Pads, Lard,Cruz, Byrd, and Eddie G for minor leaguers Horne, Jackson, Veal, and Bailey. Impressive haul if you ask me. Three very good prospect pitchers(Bailey shouldn't count), and a CF prospect who holds a high value.
Breaking news: The Texa Rangers trade Hank Blalock to the Phillies for Antonio Bastardo, and Julian Sampson.
This last one is hard because I dont see us as a fit with Philly and Im rushing it. So vote and come Friday or late thursday I'll have a final break down on our activity.
Im off to NY in less than 24 hours to see the Yanks and Orioles so enjoy everybody.

I would trade Hank
Simply for the rights to the name of Antonio Bastardo.

Now entering the game Tony Bastarrrrd-o!

No
Those guys don’t do anything for me. This would be a case of trading hank just for the sake of trading him and I don’t think we should do that with him. If this is all you can get then we should just keep him

I don’t understand the recent desire to dump Blalock.

nope
despite the nice name, bastardo is a flyball pitcher who walks too many people. i like the package that the tribe got for blake better, and blalock has more value.
sampson is an intriguing young arm, but we have a lot of those. we need blalock around until andrus is ready, unless we are just knocked over by a deal.

I told my girl tonight to make sure not to root for the orioles so I wouldn’t get beat up by a drunk fan. I then say “But Im gonna sport my Rangers cap.” Always and forever baby!
