Trade for Jeff Weaver and win the World Series! 

Post#1 » by PhilipNelsonFan » Sun May 6, 2007 9:16 pm

That's what the Cardinals did last year...your team can too!

Another rotational pitcher would be nice since the rotation absolutely blows, but if you want to sacrifice a young guy to win a WS (preferably a P, although the Mariners will blow his arm out in AAA), be our guest.

I thought Weaver was released by the Angels and the Cardinals signed him.

Good luck getting anybody for Weaver though. :lol:

Hey, when you give up nothing for him, it's still a good trade! :P

No, seriously, someone save us.

Fine the Brewers offer Elmer Dessens and a hit on Bill Bavasi. :D

I bet you could trick Bill Bavasi into overpaying for Weaver.

Oh, wait...

Best-case scenario: M's eat the vast majority of the $8 million they owe Weaver -- maybe $7 million of it -- and find a team that is willing to take a flyer on Weaver for $1 million and a low-minors middle reliever or utility infield prospect. Probably an NL team. With a big ballpark.

Now I'd like to offer a similar deal for Horacio Ramirez.

And for Miguel Batista, similar terms apply, except that we're not eating as much of his salary.

Attention K-Mart shoppers! There's a blue light special on crappy Mariner starting pitchers!

How come it didn't work for the Yankees in 2003?

At least he only overpaid him for one year.
