<b>Motherfuck the cocksuck!</b>
What the fuck is going on here?! I'm not even as big a DeRosa fan as most guys on this board, but even a blind man could tell you that he was an immensely valuable part of this ballclub. To shed his ass for 3 middling fucking prospects?! When the <i>best</i> prospect in the deal "might" one day become a decent back-of-the-bullpen guy?!! And to sign Aaron Bitchfucker Miles for nearly what we were paying DeRo, when he isn't REMOTELY as good?! If this was part of a Peavy scenario, it would have been a fucking 3-way trade. It's not. Guess how I feel about Big Jim today?

It's free'd up salary and brought in pitching prospects, both of which we had to do to get Peavy. I don't understand the vitriol here. Let Hendry finish what he's started, he obviously has a plan.

Aaron Miles for example doesn't want to wait another month to figure out where he's going to sign, and just because a team tells him they plan to make a trade in a month doesn't mean he should believe it for a second. Shapiro may have also said, "Look, Jim, I think you and Towers are going to work this deal out, but I really can't afford to wait around another month..."

12-31-2008, 04:25 PM
I just can't see why Hendry would do this just for Bradley. We've gotten 9 million more dollars to work with... didn't we have enough money to sign Bradley before? I just can't see Hendry trading DeRosa, trading Marquis, and letting Wood walk just so we have the money to sign a guy that plays 3/4 of the season. There's something else coming.
