Title: Baseball trades
Post by: theomen on July 30, 2002, 05:07:29 PM: Well we are entering the time of the year that baseball trades start taking place, and I\'m glad to say that it looks like the Giants got on hell of a deal! They got Kenny Lofton to play Center, and lead off. Today he is tearing it up!! It\'s the 6th inning, and he has hit a homer, got a triple, and scored two runs, he\'s looking amazing!

The reds lost Encarcion but got Dempster. Hopefully the Reds whip him into shape by next season. And having Bonds and Lofton would be nice.

However, my preseason series picks were the As and the Cards. Each team has really helped themselves so far. The As got Durham to fill their hole at 2b and give them so great spead. The Cards got Rolen, a starting all star to play 3b for them. Those could really help push them to the next level.

Post by: theomen on July 30, 2002, 05:29:49 PM: I couldn\'t believe the cards got Rolen without giving up much at all, not even a third baseman.

Post by: shockwaves on July 30, 2002, 05:33:02 PM: They gave up Polanco. He can play third.

Post by: theomen on July 30, 2002, 05:36:46 PM: oh yeah, forgot he was an inf/of

Post by: Luke on July 30, 2002, 06:05:16 PM: polanco is a good player, but not as good as rolen, and seeing as how they both play 3rd, that says the phillies just neded a third baseman to replace rolen.

bud smith is who the phillies wanted. he was the key to the deal.

the cubs should have got rolen though... did i mention how much i hate the cubs?

i dont really see any big trades tomorrow, ill be surprised if anything huge happens.

Title: Baseball trades
Post by: Black Samurai on July 30, 2002, 11:26:32 PM: Well it looks like we picked up Cliff Floyd from The Expos.

Post by: Mr. Kennedy on July 31, 2002, 08:31:18 AM: YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its good to have another great hitter in the line up. Although I think they needed another starting pitcher more.

We might get some good use out of floyd tho.

Post by: Fayded on July 31, 2002, 02:19:50 PM: D-Backs didn\'t make any changes, which is fine. They\'re rolling right now (7 out of there last 8) with Johnson and Schilling pitching the next 2 games. They have a rookie who they brought up a few weeks ago and he\'s pitched two great games, in his 2nd start he threw a 7 inning shutout. Hopefully he\'ll keep performing, and with Miguel Batista and Brian Anderson pitching solid as of late, they\'re gonna be hard to beat.

Post by: shockwaves on July 31, 2002, 02:23:51 PM: Mets made some last minute moves, getting starter John Thomson from the Rockies, and reliever Steve Reed from the Padres. These moves should help to solidify their pitching staff, and give them more depth for their stretch run.

Post by: Fayded on July 31, 2002, 02:35:36 PM: The NL Wild Card race should be interesting with the Giants, Dodgers, Mets, Reds, and Astros all in the hunt. I think the Reds will slowly fade, and I think the Astros and Mets will keep inching closer. So basically i think it\'ll be a tight race that\'ll go down to the last week, maybe even a one game playoff. Who knows. But then again, none of this will probably ever happen due to the strike. :rpissed:

Post by: Ashford on July 31, 2002, 03:07:12 PM: Who did the Mets give up?
Title: Baseball trades
Post by: shockwaves on July 31, 2002, 05:31:04 PM: Payton was the main player. He went to Colorado in the Thomson trade. They also sent Mark Corey and a minor leaguer to Colorado, and got Mark Little along with Thomson. They gave up Steve Reed and Jason Middlebrook to the Padres for Reed and two minor leaguers.
Title: Baseball trades
Post by: Ashford on July 31, 2002, 05:44:26 PM: I just noticed Payton was missing was from the lineup...

They gave up Reed to get Reed?

:confused:

Post by: shockwaves on July 31, 2002, 05:59:42 PM: lol, my fault. The Steve Reed they gave up=Bobby Jones.

It\'s one game, you can\'t determine anything from it. The Dodgers are slumping big time, whether they can turn it around it another story.

Post by: shockwaves on July 31, 2002, 09:07:11 PM: I see no reason why the Reds would fade, and a team full of unproven players like the Dodgers wouldn\'t.

And the Red Sox don\'t make the playoffs. Just have a feeling ;)
