Indians Trade Rumors

[Smooth]

- Apparently, the Diamondbacks have interest in Jake Westbrook.. They have some good minor league prospects.. SS Stephen Drew might come in and relplace Peralta at SS.. Westbrook has also been rumored to the Angels and Rangers..

- The Blue Jays have interest in Johnny Peralta.. They also have some nice young prospects... Gustavo Chacin, Vernon Wells (I wish) etc..

- The LA Dodgers and San Diego Padres are interested in Aaron Boone..

- The Braves are interested in Wickman and Betancourt, and may be willing to part with 2nd baseman Marcus Giles. This may open the door for a Belliard trade.. There was also mention of Wilson Betemit & 2 other prospects for Wicky and Rafael.

- The Angels and Yanks have interest in Hollandsworth..

***********************************************

I really would think Peralta would benefit from a move to 2nd... As would Martinez to 1st..

I also think we should dump: Betancourt, Wickman, Boone, Broussard, and Hollandsworth... Belliard would depend on what we got in return..

thats pretty much all of the indians bad players. seems to good to be ture. fingers crossed!!!!!! I would miss JP kinda.

 

[lebron720]

can marcus giles be better then ronnie B??????

 

[Cavs1]

doesn't giles have an extremely bloated contract???

i'd wanna keep westbrook

doesn't giles have an extremely bloated contract???

I am pretty sure he has a big contract... He is kinda in the same situation as Peralta (coming off a big contract; having a disappointing season).. Nonetheless, he is a pretty good player..

He is also 4 years younger than Belliard...

Although I still think we should move Peralta to 2nd and get a good defensive SS who can hit in the 2 hole..

No way in hell they trade Drew for Westbrook...Perlata will go nowhere pretty sure he will stick around, i also heard that Big Ben Broussard is as good as gone...if we trade wicky it is obvious that we put Fausto Carmona the clsoer spot.. Wilson Betemit can play outfield also he can take Michaels spot..

 

[joma]

no way we do anything. Thats what always happens. People hype things up and nothing ever gets done.

 

[Blind_Sniper]

Well the way Westbrook is pitching right now we might be lucky to get a skittle for him....

 

[Cavs1]

^lol true. he is a gold-glove caliber pitcher tho ... at least he has that going for him??

 

[lebron720]

he is 7-5, not like westbrook gets any run support...

 

[Blind_Sniper]

he go 5 tonite that seems enough for a team like ours....

 

[lebron720]

gooden he got 2-3 runs... he did NOT pitch the whole game...

 

[Blind_Sniper]

it don't matter what if you leave the game in the fifth, and your team gets you 3 runs... your up by one.. then the next inning they get you 5 more the score is then 8-2 they got you 8 runs total...but of course Westbrook the idiot he is gives up 7... in 3 and 2/3 innings..

The Indians acuired Brian Sikorski from the Padres for Mike Adams...
