Re: Angels: Were close on Cabrerra

I have a feeling Cabrera won't be going anywhere at all.

Yeah

The Marlins will probably bring in established veterans to make one last run at a World Series.

Re: Yeah

Maybe they can bring Jeff Conine out of retirement!

Re: Yeah

yeah. What's it been? 4 years since they purchased a title....they must be getting antsy down in Miami.

Bonds stands alone.

Cabrera is going to be dealt

Hang in there Brian because you will want to be there when the music stops. Hell, expand the deal and pick up Scott Olsen from the discount bargain bin on your way out.

Re: Cabrera is going to be dealt

The idea of Wilriv giving advice to Sabean... jeez, that actively scares me.

Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

Re: Angels: Were close on Cabrerra

I thought there was a typo in the title, and that it was supposed to be "Angels: We're close on Cabrera". At first, this depressed me slightly - I still have visions of a shrewd Giants deal for the slugger - then I was just glad it wasn't the Bums. Then I was amazed that the Halos had turned into such movers and shakers. Then I clicked on the link, which turned out to be something I saw yesterday. Ah, the gamut of emotions that is a rumourland posting.

Re: Angels: Were close on Cabrerra

The Dodgers are throwing the same names out there for Cabrera, Bedard, and Santana. What if all three teams say yes at the same time?? What's a Colletti to do?? Clone them??

MLB rules dictate simultaneous trades are arbitrated via ro sham bo.

Apopos of nothing.

I recently found out that in certain parts of the East Coast, "ro sham bo" refers to "kicking each other in the nuts until one of you gives up."

I'm not kidding.

It's a little like Bloody Knuckles, just with balls.

Re: Angels: Were close on Cabrerra

The Giants were also close to acquiring Cabrera with a package containing Lincecum, Cain, Villalona, Bumgarner and Bowker. However, when Larry Beinfest requested that Scott Munter be added to the deal, Sabean balked. Can't blame him.
