If we could pull off a trade for Gonzalez, we would be automatic contenders. I know we all said the same thing about Tex, but I think AG is better and this time we actually have the pitching to take us to the promised land. It would also make sense for the Padres, since they won't be contending any time soon, and they have a stud first base prospect in Kyle Blanks. I say we offer Heyward, Morton, and Locke for him. I know you think I'm crazy for offering Heyward but Gonzalez would be a huge presence in the lineup for years to come. That trade would leave us with Kotchman. I think we should either trade him or move him to left. Another good thing this trade could do for us is that it would make Freeman available for trade.

A little reminiscent of the Tex trade if you ask me…

I’m sure Wren is just dying to negotiate with Kevin Towers again.

Kotch is NOT a leftfielder. Trading Heyward is crazy talk. We wont get value for Kotch in a trade and it still leaves us with FYF, Diaz, and Anderson roaming our outfield.
A more constructive trade would involve some of JoJo, Parr, Morton, and any of our glut of AAAA corner outfielders (FYF, B Jones, Barton, Blanco, Diaz) for a good corner outfielder.
hindsight is 20-13 just like Ted William actual vision- ken tremendous
fail
Now that's thinking with your dipstick

Keep an eye on Holliday
If the A’s don’t get in the race he could become available and I think his RH bat fits better in the line up and would not block anyone-as he is a free agent.
Matt “I’m Babe Ruth at Coors and fairly average everywhere else” Holliday?
No thanks. No way he’s worth the price tag he’d end up carrying.
Hell no to Holliday. I really think this post is a joke just to see who gets pissed. Kotchman a left fielder( Joke) Trading Heyward (Joke). Then he goes on to say that we should trade Freeman, for who?This post is just a big Fucking joke. And I doubt Wren wants to negotiate with Kevin Towers again.

Problem
The problem is we actually need someone for LF next year. I doubt they rush Heyward like they did Schafer

Alex Gonzalez is and will be a very good player for the next 6 years easy. Heyward has a chance to be better. Great. Maybe not Bonds, A Rod, Pujols great but at least multiple all stars and contending for MVP’s great
You’re wrong, Alex Gonzalez is a sub-average player.

Yeah, no kidding. I’m still waiting for the response. Be specific. Why is he a sub-average player?
According to ESPN he is making $3 million. For a potential 40 home run guy getting paid $3 million, you agree he is sub-average?? Maybe if he was getting paid $15 million perhaps I could see your point. Hah, and he probably will end up getting paid this much so my point will be shot to hell.
Anyway… If you look at HIS STATS you will see that he has hit well on the road his entire career—which makes sense playing in Petco half the time. So I think he has the potential to hit 45 home runs, bat in 100+ runs, and hit .280-.290 every year. How in the world is this sub-average???? Especially in this day and age when every team in the majors is looking for power! Just hope to god he isn’t taking roids or something else… (I just like that word ‘roids’—coulda said HGH but it just doesn’t sound as good).
Fat chance he will be traded since he is such a low cost option for the Padres so this may be a moot point even talking about him.

Yeah, I know… But why?
Don’t mean to beat a dead horse but you keep bringing it up. I already said, “Yeah, no kidding” in response to “Just look at his stats”.

Whatever on the Alex thing. We were talking about Adrian with San Diego.
Yeah, you guys jump on this but most of you can’t spell let alone put two words together to make a half ways readable sentence.
LOL

Every internet junkie will eventually come to a point where they have two choices:
1) Saying “LOL, my bad”, and getting a chuckle at their own mistakes.
2) Calling out everyone else’s spelling and grammar in a response that puts the words “half ways readable” together (though I suppose readable is actually correct, it’s just a very weak word choice compared with the alternatives).
Option #2 is usually a disaster.
See, this is what I like. You made a very longwinded post like this dude has (several times), and instead of whining when people disagree, you engage discussion. Good work

Did you spell “couch” for the win?
People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.
Which means it's not going to happen
No one in there right mind is going to trade the center stones of your Franchise as being your future ACE or Clean up hitter.
Frenchy,JoJo/Locke,Morton/Medlen,Hicks/TJones for Lee + Cash
lol at proeye ALEX GONZALEZ is a sub-par ML shortstop. The guys stats who you keep bringing up and the guy who is a very good ML first basemen is ADRIAN GONZALEZ
Yeah, that’s so funny! OMG I’m going to tell all my friends, my my my teacher, my drunk neighbor…
The entire membership seems to be made up of 19-25 yo adolescents who love SouthPark (although I think it’s funny, I don’t live my life by it), sitting in front of a computer all day looking at porn getting fat, to be the first one to make a moronic statement at the beginning of every new thread (and to have it backed up by 5-6 others), and of course look for anything to act stupid and get drunk.
It’s not that funny. Maybe amusing but damn man, why does EVERYTHING have to be a joke on this site???

Listen, Buddy
I happen to be much older than 25, I don’t get drunk, and I only have the internets at work—I never have the luxury of viewing porn. But seriously, you need to get over yourself. Some dudes made fun of you, then you respond by calling everyone childish…in one of the most childish, cliche-filled posts I’ve seen in quite some time. Nice work.

I’m actually 27, I do love South Park, I am fat, I do sit in front of the computer all day, and I love porn.

Point is… Let’s just talk baseball and try to be friends with one another. Not find ways to tear each other down and argue for the sake of arguing or point out everyone’s stupid mistakes. If you want me to point out everyone’s mistakes I’ll do that too.

Practice what you preach
Seems like you’re doing most of the tearing down.
Lighten up and enjoy yourself. We have plenty of serious discussion here, but we like to have fun too.

There are what we call “contradictory statements”.

I would certainly consider southpark and porn to be among the center pieces of my life. I’m rather surprised that habitual refer smoking didn’t make the list of assumptions.
If you have ever owned Gonzalez in a fantasy league that you know he goes through some dry spells that will make you wish for Tex.
Adrian wont get traded
i hope everyone knows this. i was going to read all the replys to see if we got that or not. im hoping so.
