Post-Trade-Deadline Moves

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Have there ever been two brothers with as much platoon potential as Chris and Shelley Duncan?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Good question. I'll throw out Jose and Heity Cruz.

Speaking of Denver, Matt Murton DFAed...

Cheap, decent... pick dat bitch up! (Do it for Buffalo!)

he's been pretty bad the last 2 years but he was ok before that, worth a try.

Post-hype dude. Youngish (27) yet. Absolutely no risk.

Plus, we get waiver priority over virtually anybody who'd be interested.

[smg58]

Hard to believe somebody with a .791 career OPS and a good glove has had as hard a time staying employed as Murton has. He hasn't even been up long enough to be arb eligible. There's no reason to think he couldn't be a reserve/platoon player on a good team. Why not give him a look?

Brad Penny, released to make room for Wagner. Five million dollars for Boston there and a 5.68 ERA. He did get seven wins, but Boston had more O to support his like. He's like high grade Tim Redding.

The guy started the ALL -Star game not that long ago....what happened Brad?

Alyssa Milano is a witch.

Outside of Justin Timberlake, every man she's been linked to has gone down. She sucks life force from them.

And I'm sure --- sure as the sun's go'n shine --- that the presence of an Alyssa Milano boutique at Citi has sucked life force from the Mets.

This is good a concept as any to go into the "Anatomy" thread.

isn't she the one going down, then?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Now stop.

I just said she was an agent of Satan. I didn't mean to imply she was easy.

Paging fman to the post-deadline moves thread.

[Guest Edgy DC]

There seemed to be a gap on that list between 2005 and 2009, and I knew there was at least one other ballplayer in there. I looked it up, and there was

Russell Martin, 2007 OPS+: 113
Russell Martin, 2008 OPS+: 106
Russell Martin, 2009 OPS+: 82

Witch.

[Vic Sage]

she can put a spell on me anytime.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Fred Durst. Really?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The key here, obviously, is to study Timberlake. Is it the falsetto? The popping and/or locking? The obvious Michael Jackson-homage performance tics? (Hint: It's not the MJ tics.) Isolate, and you're a good way toward a vaccine.

Then, hey-- consequence-free Milano cookie!

(And yeah, OO-- for a while there, LordGod King of the Douchebags was stunningly communicable.)

[Valadius]

I say we grab Brad Penny, as we could do a lot worse.

I won't lie. I'd take a crack at her. I believe that I could show her Who's the Boss�.

Plus she's a Dodger fan, which means she would come late and leave early. Just the way I like em.

[smg58]

In case you needed another reason to hate the Yankees, they put a waiver claim in on Chris Carter. It won't ultimately affect his coming to the Mets, but we won't get to see him this season.

Then again, he's probably much less likely to get hurt this way.

[Piggiestomatoes]

If TMFY's claimed Carter, it has to mean that every other team passed on him. What a bunch of douches.

Then again, if he can't get hurt this way...

[A Boy Named Seo]

So Scott Kazmir's an Angel now?

[Fman99]

Yep. Also Jon "Wookie" Rauch to the Twins.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

First Ronnie Belliard for a song. Then, at the buzzer, the Dodgers go all-in.

The right-handed Garland, 29, will move into a rotation that has struggled to find a fifth starter all year and has been further weakened by the loss of Hiroki Kuroda, who was hit in the head by a line drive on Aug. 15. Garland likely takes the place of knuckleball specialist Charlie Haeger, with Vicente Padilla holding the place for Kuroda, who could return to the Dodgers' rotation as soon as this weekend. Thome, 39, gives the Dodgers a legitimate left-handed power bat off the bench at the least and has been a first baseman, although he hasn't played more than six games there in any season since 2005, being used almost exclusively as a designated hitter.
