Source says details still being worked out but Rich Harden to the A's in a deal that may involve AAA 1B Lars Anderson could happen tonight.

And if they didn't make a big move, most of the fan base would criticize them for that.. They can't win.

Thats the problem, they shouldn't worry about the fact that the fans want a big trade. If they don't make one, the fans will realize why when Drew and Alex become aces. I'm so pissed at this.

Alex White is not a future ace.. He's a nice pitcher but he is a #2.

Ubaldo
Carrasco
Masterson
Tomlin
Fausto

It makes sense.. Indians also have some pretty good pitching prospects who are a ways away, but good none the less. It's important now that the Indians sign Dillon Howard though..

Ubaldo ia an indian.

Orlando Cabrera traded to the Giants for a minor league outfielder

 

[gochiefwahoo14]

Not Orlando

So you're against trading for an ace pitcher, and didn't want to give up a washed up 2nd baseman? lol

Can't ever make everyone happy. It's hard to please some people.

 

[gochiefwahoo14]

I'm not against the move, just said to see him go. Loved the guy.

 

[elcheato]

Personally I hated watching him play and holding back Kipnis as long as he did.. Amazingly we got a decent prospect from the Giants for him.

I've always been a fan of Harden and hope he can stay healthy. I like Lars but he's been sorta disappointing the last couple years, plus 1B is locked for the foreseeable future. Gotta deal from strength.

lmao Giants
last year Renteria, this year Tejada, now OCab
yeah they won it all, but still >.<

 

[Mexi]

and dammit
i like Hiroki Kuroda and hopefully we re-sign him, but if the Sox gave up Lars AND a PTBNL for Harden, we could have gotten more for Hiro. ugh

The weird thing is they didn't even give us some bum prospect either.. He's one of there top 10 guys lol

we need to get better pitching

Bucs traded for Derek Lee
he sucks, but he's better than Overbay
Bucs are buyers. wow. hope he does well. just 2 months DLee. cmon

 

[The Guid]

he's still a capable 1B and will, like you said, be better than Overbay. I like that the Pirates are buying.

Absolutely puzzling move. And I'm not here just ripping Orlando because he's gone. He can't hit righties, can barely hit lefties and he has absolutely no range in the infield. If they're playing him at shortstop, wow.

 

[elcheato]

Apparently the Harden trade will not happen
