oh wow , we are getting him for a steal if its only for Brett Jacobson (the guy we got from the tigers in the huff trade) and another minor league reliever.

It probably isn't going to happen until they sign that Japanese SS that they won the bidding for.

Two minor league pitchers (none of the "cavalry") for Hardy OR Reimold + Simon for Bartlett ... give up 2 minor league pitchers that will likely not make it and at best will be relief pitchers for the better SS.

I told you MacPhail wasn't dumb

haha i know hes not dumb, but he is very very slow. i love this deal if it happens!

He has to let it percolate for a little longer.

A definite upgrade.
I'd much rather have Hardy than Bartlett, and if we're trading low-level prospects, I'd be thrilled.

The only thing is with Hardy we have to be prepared to have Andino play a decent amount of games at SS. Hardy gets hurt frequently.

Bartlett just got traded to the Padres.

Looks like it is JJ Hardy or Cesar Izturis at this point. I've heard Brendan Ryan's name come up too. I'm praying we get Hardy.

talks are premature now they are saying, although we are probably out of the running for him at this point anyway.

Also it seems we are still the most logical landing spot for hardy

Had a dream last night we traded for Greinke and Butler.
Talk about improbable.

give me sum of those drugs
