WATP w/ Baltimore

Deepleft34 · 07-24-2007, 03:34 PM

Milledge, Heilman, Smith and Pelfrey for:

Brian Roberts, Dannys Baez, Chad Bradford and Kevin Millar

Roberts becomes a threat batting 2nd and playing a solid second everyday. Reyes + Roberts equals one of the best 1-2 punches in MLB.
Baez IMHO is an upgrade over Heilman because he wants to pitch in relief.
Bradford is a big upgrade over Smith and is loved over here
Millar becomes the main guy off the bench.

This trade is not only do-able but actually makes sense.

Where you been? I was starting to think the Illuminati got to you.

While it makes a TON of sense, trades those size don't normally happen.

Deepleft34 · 07-24-2007, 03:51 PM

Thats why I put WATP...but it sure would fill alot of holes and help both teams.

Until they do.

just a thought, but with Duquette over there, he may drool for guys he was instrumental (on board for) in drafting.

Again..

Angelos will NOT trade Brian Roberts.. ... He loves him and he is to much of a fan favorite..

HE already put the kibosh on a deal in the offseason to get both Giles and LaRoche from Atl for Roberts and Penn because he does not want to trade Roberts...

and how is someone with a 6+ ERA an IMPROVEMENT over what we have now?

I dont think Bradford is a huge upgrade over Smith

Because he has a detailed history of pitching well in relief, and this first half of the year on a bad team with an injury does not dictate his performance over a career.

Angelos may not WANT to trade Roberts, but blow him away with Blue Chips like Milledge and Pelfrey and he can retool his team to win in a year or two. LaRoche is not a guy that is a deal breaker and Giles for Roberts is a bad trade if you ask me. I'd take Roberts over 85% of the 2nd baseman in the league.

Bradford is definitely not a huge upgrade over Smith, especially for peanuts on the dollar and with Bradford's back bound to act up over the course of his deal. Baez might want to pitch in relief, but outside of 2001 and 2005 he hasn't been very good at it. He's also making $6 million this year, with about $11 million due over the next two. Both of those guys could be considered salary dumps, and based on current performance the O's would make out like bandits. It rarely seems to work when teams sink a lot of money into the bullpen, and it isn't for Baltimore this year either...

bingo, I'm not thrilled with the bullpen arms coming back and would rather have Erin and Smith over those two.

Baez isn't an upgrade over anyone as he's sucked for a couple years now, and has a pretty big contract.
