whoa.   just now you heard it, did they give the source?

[ice grillin you]

theyve been doing it on their ticker all day...never heard the source till this latest one just a second ago.."howard eskin reports"...maybe it isnt on other outlets

[Rome]

Abreu for Jason Schmidt?

INCONCEIVABLE!

Hmmmm...nothing about this on PP yet.

Only way I'd trade Bobby is for an ace, and Schmidt is an ace.

[Rome]

The A's are looking for a right handed slugger for Barry Zito.

If the Phils could get Zito to agree to an extension, Burrell would seem to fit the bill.


Just talkin' here, btw.   

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Zito's not an ace.  Schmidt > Zito.

[ice grillin you]

i would do burrell zito way before abreu schmidt

in fact i dont want any part of schmidt...hes old(er) and is on the verge of breaking down

He's only 1 year older than Abreu and has been pretty durable throughout his career. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I didn't factor age or players to be given up into it.  I just don't want any part of Zito.  Seems like the type of guy who would suck if he came to Philly.

BTW, you like feeling your head explode?  Try this rumor out:

Here is the latest on a trade rumor involving the Cardinals

Phillies get: P Barry Zito, catching prospect Kurt Suzuki

Cardinals get: RF Bobby Abreu

A's get: pitching prospect Anthony Reyes, 2B Alfonso Soriano

Rangers get: P Jason Marquis

[ice grillin you]

im not saying i would definitely go for zito...i just DO NOT want schmidt...not for abreu or burrel anyway


where did that rumor come from?

suzuki was at one time a big time prospect but last i heard he had really slipped...barely cracking the a's top ten prospects

[MDS]

me thinks the rumor makes no sense. giants have alou, bonds and winn in the outfield. abreu, alou and bonds cant play cf. so.....unless were getting alou in return too (doubt it with the 7 mil hes owed), this deal is just made up.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

What about that blockbuster 4-team deal?  Ha.  Ha.


Ha.

[SunMo]

where'd you get that from?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I found that little gem on philliesphans, so it must be true.
