*2009 MLB Thread*

So we traded Tim Alderson for Freddy Sanchez.

I am not 100% behind this trade.

I have concerns about Sanchez and his knee problems, though he bats .300 for his career. We can def use some hitters.

Alderson was a good prospect pitcher, but we have enough pitchers.

My biggest concern again, is Sanchez's knee problems.

There's a report that Manny and Ortiz were both on the list of those who tested positive in 2003.

Let's see what spin Faux-Sox Nation has! The only thing I'd rather hear less than that is what the Weasel Empire has to add!

Good!

Now they need to be barred from the HOF.

Now we need to bar everyone who played before 2004. Because they were ALL using them.

But Sanchez is a gamer, excellent hitter and he plugs the hole at second for the Giants...they have PLENTY of pitching already. I think this trade makes you guys stronger.

The Yankees are looking to pick up Corey Patterson off wavers since Gardner is out with a broken hand for a while.

Off of waivers he is pretty much free to the Yankees and they could use another bench player while Gardner is out. It would be a no lose pick up.

I'd rather see them bring up Austin Jackson or give Shelley Duncan another chance.

Aren't you concerned about the knee?

Well worth the risk. The Giants need bats, they won't miss one pitching prospect. And Sanchez can hit, I think it was a pretty good trade.

Dodgers picked up Sherill today. Good move, he was pretty tough on hitters here in the AL East.

Yeah, you're right. We do need hitters. Right now the only big hitter we really have is Pablo and he has not been doing much as of recent.
