Just entertaining thoughts on possible ways to restock our farm system without blowing up the team.

You want to talk pointless? How about talking baseball on a football forum? That's pretty pointless but that doesnt stop us from doing it.

But Detroit is basically a closer away from a title... I'm sure they would pay a premium. I would only trade him for top prospects + more.... AND that we we're out of the race which doesn't seem likely to happen before the deadline.

I still have faith we are going to turn in around. I think we need to trade for a SP and Send Tim to the bullpen - that kills two birds with one stone.

Detroit wouldnt pay some crazy premium and give up their best prospects to get Romo. There are several closers out there that teams want to unload because of the money they make. KROD, Paplebon perhaps, Cishek, Parnell, Henderson, Perkins. All will be on the market ( maybe on Pap).

So is Panda, but I don't seem him getting extended. But I agree, we'd have to get something extremely good in return.

ballgame, s**t what else is on tv, kinda expected this in a way, a guy like kickam who has no business being a starter against a potent reds lineup who is pissed off about last years playoffs.

Lets make a bet.

If Kickham has a quality start tonight you ban yourself from the Giants thread for 2 weeks.
If he doesn't, I will ban myself for two weeks.

Deal?

(QS, 6 innings + < 3 ER allowed)

LOL His quality start is gone after 1.2 innings. I guess its lucky for you that I didnt bet but then again............. I wouldnt have anyone to pick on in here. I was actually hoping you were right but I highly doubted it.
