Well the Winter Meetings continue to be action packed (at least as far as the rumor mill goes) so let this be today's official hot stove discussion thread.
Already this morning we've been linked to discussions about Bill Hall, Ben Sheets, Johan (apparently the Twins are trying to bring more teams to the table after the Yankees dropped out), Blalock (Why does this donkey's name keep popping up?), Troy Glaus (Will there be HGH at the concession stands?), and we're supposedly in the final four teams bidding on Kuroda.

EAD = Hall, Blalock, Rolen
Cost too much = Santana, Blanton
Can Live W/ = Kuroda
Intriguing = Sheets
Considering Sheets never pitches we might be able to acquire him for substantially less than is being asked for Santana, Haren, Blanton, Bedard. Maybe a deal of Ethier/Meloan/Young. I might be way off though. I have no idea what Sheets' contract situation is.
Brewers have supposedly expressed interest in Laroche too so that may be a jumping off point for a deal.
For Sheets of course, not that piece of shit Bill Hall
What is really awesome is that Brian Sabean (retarded monkey that he is) is looking at bringing in Alex Rios and/or Troy Glaus for Tim Lincecum and/or Matt Cain.
FUCK!
Also, unless they are going to move LaRoche to another team or to LF, I'm not sure the Brewers really need him.
Braun at 3B, Prince at 1B, Hart in RF.
In fact, why would the Brew-Crew make any trades? I can't believe they are breaking up this team. It's sad.
Good news Bobby is that it looks like your girls aren't interested in Glaus. Bad news is that its because they really want Brandon Inge (according to MLBTR). Clearly he is the final piece of the puzzle. The giants are gay!
Yeah except the offer of Alex Rios for either Matt Cain or Tim Lincecum still stands.
I'm having flashbacks to AJ Pierzynski for Nathan/Liriano. BEST TRADE EVER
Is it too late to get a flight to the winter meetings to kill Brian Sabean?
Ned Colletti learned everything he knows from Brian Sabean.
I would rather have Chris Sabean (Kevin Spacey's character in 'The Negotiator') as GM over Brian Sabean.
You want my blood? TAKE MY BLOOD!!!!!
I was going to leave a Chris Sabean quote, but it turns out that he didn't have any good quotes.
I was checking out a brewers thread yesterday after I heard about the Sheets thing and I feel it could go a number of ways. First, I got the general feeling that they don't like Sheets. They view him as full of holes, injury prone, and stealing money from their team. One post that people were referencing as correct declared Sheets to be MAYBE a shaky number 3, but more likely a solid 4-5 guy. Apparently these guys didn't order Extra Innings in 2004 and watch him K 18 Braves for breakfast one Sunday morning.
Second, they are super high on Kemp. I don't think that they would be happy if the deal did not include him.
Third, as many people do, they talked about Braun's crappy defense. I don't know if moving him to another position is in the cards (especially with a champion at first), but if it is that could potentially interest them in Laroche.
Then again, all of this is what I took away from one Brewers thread. It obviously has nothing to do with their management and reflects only a small portion of their fan base. If everyone believed the things that we said then half the world would have Aids, The Texas Rangers would better signify the Holocaust than the actual Holocaust and most sportswriters/Gayngels fans engage in incenstual and/or pedophilial behaviors.
Wow, it's all so clear now. Maybe we are on to something with this site...
First off, congratulations to Mr. Falcon! You are apparently one of only 11 people in the country who ever saw The Negotiator. Quite an accomplishment.
I am shocked that the Brewers would be high on Kemp. Apparently their GM has eyes.
Was Sheets also the guy who beat Cuba back in the Olympics when Lasorda brought home the gold?
And in fairness, the real holocaust only lasted like 6 years tops. The Rangers have sucked for WAY longer than that. They also called the cops to kick me out of their stadium once so they can EAD!
Lieutenant Danny Roman: You were wrong about me. What if I'm right about them?
Lieutenant Chris Sabian: But what if you're wrong about me?
In the movie is plays WAY CHEESIER than the text indicates. It's the sort of retarded one-ups-man-ship bullshit dialouge that makes good actors look like scrubs. When Spacey utters this line you can almost see his artistic integrity cringe.
Hey Purple Stuff...i just ckecked Movie Prospectus and found that 'The Negotiator' grossed $45MM domestically.
However, that's only $13MM more than your mom grossed internationally with her handjob tour back in '86. That would be well into 8 figures after adjusting for inflation.
Well you've won this round Mr. Falcon.
If we're gonna go young let's go all the way. Fuck Moustache, peace out Pierre and Nomar. Take a salary hit, but who cares. Let Laroche (3B) and Young (2B) start all year. Let Kershaw be the #5 starter...fuk it.
I keep hearing that Josh Hamilton is now available. Let's inquire on what it would take. I would peace out Laroche for him. I would pay CIN $6MM/yr to take Pierre for him.
I'm getting moist just thinking about an outfield of Ethier/Hamilton/Kemp.
Yes, that was Sheets, Purple Stuff.

Crazy rumor just went up on MLBTR about 3 team deal for Santana w/ A's, Twins, and Mets involved. There are other pieces involved but the key ones are Haren to the Twins, Santana to NYM, and Jose Reyes to Oakland.
Discuss.
Why the fuck would the Mets do that??? Don't they have Reyes locked up on a multi-year deal?
Such a deal would only make sense if they could sign Santana and Arod was still available (which he technically is...i guess).
After reading this I have to say that this is the sort of blockbuster deal I would expect when throwing around a name like Johan Santana. I mean that in terms of the other players in the deal. Two guys considered tops in the game (Reyes and Haren) is what I think we all had in mind if a trade like this was to happen. I'm tired of hearing that Jon Lester is a suitable trade partner for Santana. Maybe the Twins are now, too.
Oh, and some dick licker just stated that Shane Victorino is better than Matt Kemp in the Bedard thread over there. I am too busy at work to give this retard the proper response so hopefully one of you fellas can pull this fags pants down and show him the meaning of the word respect.
Then again, with opinions like that he is probably qualified to be an MLB GM.
SI's Jon Heyman sums it up perfectly for me when talking about a deal for Bedard:
"The Dodgers reportedly have offered top outfield prospect Matt Kemp and superb reliever Jonathan Broxton, and if that's true, that deal should have been done yesterday. Kemp is a Dave Winfield in waiting, and Broxton is as talented as any reliever going. I am skeptical about whether that offer was made, but there should be no shortage of great offers for the Orioles to consider, as Bedard is a rotation-transforming talent."
Shane Victorino is like 2 Dave Winfields waiting to happen
And Jon Heyman has never "summed it up perfectly"
Shane Victorino doesn't even add up to 2 Dave Winfield dumps. Anyone who says something that fucking dumb should have his dick stapled to his forehead.
Not only that, Philadelphia is a shit hole! Fuck the Phillies, fuck Rocky (in real life all those brothers would have knocked his ass out), fuck Ben Franklin, fuck Philadelphia, and fuck that guy for doubting Matt Kemp's majestic greatness.

Beane calls 3 team Johan deal "a total fabrication." Hell I figured he would have been happy about it (if he's gonna dump Haren then picking up Reyes ain't the worst you could do by a long shot).
Here's a quote from Jayson Stark's blog showing just how dumb you can be and still get a job managing an MLB team:
"With the Twins in search of middle-infield help, one potential target is free agent David Eckstein. 'I've always had a lot of respect for him,' said Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire. 'He catches the ball. He knows how to play. He's a proven winner.'"
"Proven winner" is such bullshit.
I like "he catches the ball." Really? I take care of my kids motha fucka!
