Local media is, surprisingly, being pretty civil about this. I'm hearing a lot of, "I really respect Buster Olney, but..." comments. -- nm - Jim Mar 15, 07:33 5
- This is a gambit by Amaro. I'm certain of that. - David Mar 15, 07:38 4
  - It's weird timing to me. We still have Albert locked up for the next 2 seasons. Why would we even consider trading him at this deadline? - Jim Mar 15, 07:42 3
    - This is why its insane. They have the same contract length. Howard's is *more* money. - TFox Mar 15, 07:59 1
      - It also gives the Phillies leverage in renegotiating with Howard. -- nm - David Mar 15, 08:03
    - Johan went through the same thing. The difference is that the Cards are considered at worst the second best team in the NL at the start of the season. -- nm - David Mar 15, 07:50
it's like Bill Simmons doing a column on NBA trades only not serious -- nm - Beaker Mar 15, 07:16 3
- "only serious" -- nm - Beaker Mar 15, 07:16 2
  - You had it right the first time. -- nm - David Mar 15, 07:19 1
    - Yeah, someone's getting paid to make a truth and rumors blind item into a full story. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 15, 07:20
