Trade Idea White Sox - Mariners

by Jbasic89 on Jan 19, 2009 9:51 PM CST

Would anyone be willing to break up the farm system and try and trade for Felix Hernandez? I was thinking a package surrounding Beckham, Poreda, and Jordan Danks would be a good start. Last time we sent a bunch of top prospects to Seattle for a Venezuelan starter it paid off pretty well. Plus Felix is only 22 years old and has a good relationship with Ozzie. Imagine a rotation of Buehrle, Hernandez, Danks, Floyd and Colon/Garcia/Richard. Pretty.Damn.Amazing. Maybe I'm just being completely unrealistic here.

I think adding Flowers and Viciedo along with some cash would do it.

5-1 deals always work out for everyone.

I don't need to look at fancy stats

to see if a guy is good or not. You might have to.

as long as the package surrounds those guys i'm fine with it.

now, if it involved them…well, that’s not what you’re proposing because that’s just silly.

I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage.

oh well

that rotation would be hella awesome though

larry has that system down to a science. Especially with the way the economy is….big wigs like larry coming in dressed in their mink coats and 24k gold cigarrete holders with pockets lined with coke make for a large draw during shift changes.
