Uh, he’s never going to hit the FA market.

i would if i were him

Never say never. He’s given more than a few hints that he’s unhappy with the management’s refusal to go all in Yankees/Red Sox style. And plus, I don’t even want to think about what kind of numbers he could command if he gets out there.

My Bucardo is better than yours.

A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

Sure, it's a long shot, but...

1) We need a legit power hitter and a solid first baseman
2) The Cards got swept by the Dodgers in the Playoffs
3) We have an improving team that can contend with the Dodgers next season and beyond, with arguably the best pitching rotation in all of baseball
4) Sabes is not afraid to spend big money
5) The Yankees already have Texiera at 1B
6) Matt Holliday may be gone from St. Louis next year, hence the loss in their offensive protection for Albert

Another failure from St. Louis to not advance further in the post season in 2010, and Albert may be wanting a change of venue sooner than you think, in my humble opinion.

He still has a year left on his contract for 2010 and a club option for 2011.

This won’t even be a conversation until the offseason of 11-12.

It’s a long dream.

Utter frustration and futility.

Yeah, because the trend isn’t to lock up the best players to long-term deals. Especially when the star in question has already given his club one home-town discount.

Can't we do better

than bringing Luis Pujols back?

Pujols ain’t coming. Is this how we’re going to spend our offseason? Talking about unrealistic scenarios? Maybe we can involve some other teams and also get Chase Utley, Hanley Ramirez and Joe Mauer in the same deal.

Do you think we’d have to give up much to get those guys?

by Into the Void on Oct 16, 2009 9:26 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

At least Sadowski. But that wouldn’t be as much as the package the Padres should take for Adrian Gonzalez*: Andres Torres or Fred Lewis, Juan Uribe, and Jonathan Sanchez.

*according to a caller on KNBR yesterday

Yes, lets trade a player who isn’t even under contract. Brilliant!

Sadowski for one of them or for all three? I might consider it for all three but certainly not just one of them.

And i’m glad you said or otherwise that’d be a terrible deal for us!

Not happening. But hypothetically, if both became available at the same time (which they won’t be I know) but who would you rather have? Pujols or Joe Mauer?

I’m pretty sure if Pujols became available the Red Sox would offer up half of their minor leagues to get him to combat the Yankees getting Tex.
