Re: ~~~Unofficial Baseball Offseason Thread~~~

Dodgers look like they landed Schmidt for 3 years/47 million. The Mets traded Bannister to the Royals for Ambiorix Burgos. Also, cnnsi is now reporting that the Mets are potentially looking to deal Heilman and Milledge to the A's for Harden. [/ QUOTE ] Why in the world would the A's trade Harden he is signed through 2008 with an option for 2009 at VERY cheap money.. Doesn't make any sense.. 2007: $2 Million 2008: $4.5 Million 2009: $7 Million (Option)

Re: ~~~Unofficial Baseball Offseason Thread~~~
I have no idea...it's up on the front page of CNNSI.com. Might just be a rumor. Might have some substance, who knows. I wouldn't trade him yet if I were the A's.

The Dodgers have landed the biggest free-agent pitching prize to date, reaching a preliminary agreement on a three-year, $47 million contract with right-hander Jason Schmidt, FOXSports.com has learned. Source: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6242312 [/ QUOTE ] Cool, someone new to hate.

Re: ~~~Unofficial Baseball Offseason Thread~~~
heilman and milledge is a lot to give up for harden ... but at this point, i think i do it. Willie is obviously not a big fan of milledge. And hopefully borgues can replace heilman.

Harden is one of the 5 best pitchers in baseball when healthy, but when is that going to be exactly? You can't just say: "This guy is valuable so I'm not trading him no matter what". If you say that, you will never get anybody valuable in return (unless you trade with only the donks). That said, they can probably get an even better deal for Harden.

[/ QUOTE ] Milledge was very unimpressive during the time he was brought up this season. Many within the Mets think his stock has fallen a bit, which is why he went from untouchable last season to seemingly tradeable now. You don't give up a proven ace signed the next couple of seasons at cheap dollars for that and a pitcher who has pitched good (not spectacular)in the NL

[/ QUOTE ] wow. i think you are way exagerating. 2005 was an AWESOME year. The rest of the time he was slightly above average and/or hurt. So to call him one of the top 5 pitchers in baseball when he has had only one great year is quite a stretch. That being said, i think i still make this trade if i am the Mets

Re: ~~~Unofficial Baseball Offseason Thread~~~
Nice trade for the Braves in my opinion:
To Seattle: Horacio Ramirez To Atlanta: Rafael Soriano http://braves.scout.com/2/598302.html
