So in reporting that Josh Hamilton will probably not go to the Rangers, mlbtraderumors comments that possible trade candidates could include Andre Ethier or Juan Pierre. Now, I understand that this merely being mentioned on a rumor site does not really give much hot stove steam just yet, but I would like keep the ball rolling by circulating the possibility in the heavily-trafficked world of TQ...ViG. I'm not sure if Mr. Falcon has commented about his love of Josh Hamilton here, and I am far too lazy to actually go look, but, trust me, he totally wants to do that guy. I know that Josh has had some problems with the ol' Afghani vein candy in the past, but he also did this in 335 PAs last season:
.292/.368/.554 with 19 jack smashes. Obviously, no one around here is attached to Pierre. And in case anyone is attached to Ethier, Hamilton's OPS was about 100 points higher. Also, according to my sources, heroin availability is not really an issue in LA. Anyway, start telling all your friends that this trade is going to happen, the good fight starts at home!

Although this trade would give my a Cialis style 36 hour boner, I don't see any mention of it on MLBTR. All I found was that the Rangers were interested in Pierre/Ethier now that they probably aren't going to get Hamilton (not that Hamilton could be traded to LA for either or both of Pierre/Ethier).
Either way, I think TQ...ViG should continue to report it as fact. How about Pierre and Ethier for Hamilton. That gives Cincy an OPS of like 1.400 (that is hall of fame shit and way higher than anything Hamilton has done). And despite Pierre's crackhead-like physique, he has never done drugs (hell he still gets carded when he tries to buy Zima). Cincy needs to make this deal happen TODAY!
It's really weird how the Reds keep offering Josh Hamilton to the Dodgers for Juan Pierre and the Ghost of Steve Sax, but who am I to judge?
Stranger still is Trader Ned's unwillingness to pull the trigger. Email your local Dodgers representative to lodge a complaint.
Josh Hamilton is radical. He is an amazing 5-tool player. Sadly, he sometimes uses the 4th tool (speed) to chase the dragon.
I would trade Pierre and Ethier for this smack addict. An outfield of Hamilton/Jones/Kemp would be the best in baseball. No balls would drop in...and if they did one of these guys would come up firing to get the guy at 1st.
On the offensive end I would predict the following combined line for these guys...
AVG/HR/RBI
.290/100/350
I heart Josh Hamilton
I also heard we might acquire Johan Santana for Kuo, Charlie Steiner's beard, and 500 Juan Pierre t-shirt jerseys. Santana will then sign a 7 year extension with the Dodgers that only pays him in vouchers to the AM/PM All You Can Eat Pavillion (make that sponsorship check out to CASH) since it turns out Santan is addicted to American hot dogs (they ain't got Farmer John in the Dominican so that shit definitely beats the goat sausage he's used to).
He's from Venezuela. And stop swearing.
Venezuela, Dominican, GuadaLaHabra...What's the difference? They eat rice&beans and don't speak english right? We at TQ...ViG just consider it all a part of South Mexico.
Balls.
So much for our influence and the accuracy of MLBTR. Hamilton was just traded to the Rangers for Voloquez (don't care enough to check spelling) and another minor leaguer.
Double balls!
At least the Santana deal is still alive (and we can now throw in Pierre to sweeten the pot).
