1. C...Yeah, my wishlist is a little more specific.<br /><br />1. Cito steps into his advisory role earlier than expected.<br /><br />2. I want 1B to be settled. At this point, I don't see any way Overbay comes back.<br /><br />3. And here's the biggie - <b>no Doc trade to the Angels.</b> I've said the same thing about 14 different ways...but there are just no proposed packages (with the Angels) that I've seen that are even remotely interesting.<br /><br />Saunders/Mathis/Bourjos? Fuck. Right. Off. <br /><br />That is not a trade that "adds to the core" going forward. A mid-rotation guy (maybe) who can eat 180 innings, a defensive catcher, and a minor league "prospect" who's only OPS'd over .800 one time - in the lowest levels of rookie ball? Come the fuck on.<br /><br />Even if you add names like Aybar, who's a nice player, or replace Saunders with Santana/Weaver, I'd rather sit on Doc and take the picks. AA has to do better than that.<br /><br />I think Tao dumped his Angry onto me.The Ackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374953233006854310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-13857248881948373042009-12-08T13:25:10.625-05:002009-12-08T13:25:10.625-05:00I am still following the Doc trade developments wi...I am still following the Doc trade developments with great interest. It's interesting to see teams display a lack of interest when Doc is the kind of player that could have changed the outcome of the playoffs for at least three teams.<br /><br />Beeston sure is starting to look like a buffoon, eh? Never saw the Party, but I think I have a good idea how funny it would have been. I'll have to look for it.<br /><br />I think I like angry Tao better though.
