Giants Interested In Encarnacion

Not a match. EE is headed to the OF, and SF needs a 3B. I doubt these two sides will find a match.

God, this makes my day. I'd love to see E5 and Bailey go to the Giants, as I've been keeping an eye on them all off-season. How about Bengie Molina and Sanchez for E5, Bailey and an infield prospect (not named Frazier or Valaika)?

The Reds need an LH starter, a RH middle of the order bat, and a catcher.

BTW, I actually think E5's defense can be pretty good. His issues have primarily been throwing the ball, and the Reds haven't exactly had a gold glove over there at first during E's tenure. He also makes the unbelievable play and screws up the ordinary. maddening.

E5-classic...Nice one...

If that doesn't happen then I would suggest Error Encanarcion will be tried out in left field.

Jocketty will you pleae sign Rafael Furcal and then make the trade for Jermaine Dye.

Furcal
Harriston
Votto
Dye
Phillips
Bruce
Encanarcion
Molina
*pitcher* IT LOOKS Good.

I would trade EE for Matt Cain and Bengie Molina(although I don't know Molina's contract status.)

I JUST THREW UP IN MY MOUTH A LITTLE!!!!

EE would get Sanchez at best!

Jonathan Sanchez for Edwin Encarnacion would be a great trade and Sanchez is that lefty starter that they really need.

*Leftfield fence*

I like Edwin E. His problems on Defense are with his throws and not with actually fielding the ball. WHen he doesn't ahve time to think about making a throw he does all right. It is when he fields a hot shot and then has time to think about the throw is when he gets messed up.

He somehow curls his wrist, drops his elbow and the ball sails on him.

Also, if EE is traded, WHO plays Third Base, A Gon? Keppinger? If that happens, then who plays when A Gon is injured or can't start the season, Keppinger at Third and Janish at Short?

I think Edwin E would do well if he DIDN'T play Winter Ball. I think by playing Winter Ball EE gets tired and undisciplined and that is why he doesn't do very well at the start of the Major Legue season. If I were the Reds, I would tell him to NOT play Winter Ball but to, instead, stay home, rest and work at hitting the ball to the opposite field and learn how to Bunt.

I say learn how to Bunt because Dust for brains is going to continue to ask guys to try and Bunt even if he knows they can't do it. So, EE might as well start practicing now so that when the regular season comes around and toothpick gives Ee the Bunt sign, he can surprise us all by actually getting one down successfully.

Now, if Jockitchy thinks Edwin E has to be traded then I say package him with Homer Bailey and Ryan Freel and get Jonathen Sanchez, Bengie Molina and Randy Winn back.

That would add about $7 million to the Reds salary but give them a Left Handed Starting Pitcher, a starting Catcher and a switch hitting Outfielder with a good Batting Average and speed to steal some bases and cover some ground in the Outfield.

The Giants would get the Third Baseman they have been looking for, a young, inexpensive Starting Pitcher and a super sub. They would also lose some salary.

The salary they free up would allow them to sign Pat Burrell and getting rid of Winn would free up a space in the Outfield for Burrell.

you get Bailey for Dye. Why would we throw in another starter when dye is owed 12.5 million next year. You are dreaming.

Even with a bailout and GOD on the team, I think toothpick would find a way to mess it up and the Reds would finish under .500.

Hey robert your comment was hilarious. and ctown your right he would screw it up . man is he is terrible.

There's no question that Molina hits cleanup for SF, not because of his talent, but because of the lack of it around him. If Sandoval doesn't project as the starting catcher than there's no reason for SF to trade him.

The talk around here is that E5 is considered a little slow for the OF and might find himself at 1B. That was before the Reds drafted Alonso. Now they're saying he'll stay at 3B if he isn't dealt.

I'd say Keppinger starts at 3B unless someone's brought in. I was hoping Beltre would be available, but am getting skeptical of the M's "firesale". Gonzo really needs to get healthy. We've been deprived of seeing what he and Phillips can do for a pitching staff.

hey wildabeast i wouldnt be surprised to see edwin strait up for lincecum, i mean didnt your dumass gm just throw 18.5 mil at the great EDGAR RENTERIA

I think Encarnacion straight up for Molina would be a good deal for both teams. I know Walt likes his veteran defensive presences behind the plate. Maybe add Hinshaw to the deal.

Ruck...EE is not as bad as you're saying...obviously you dont watch him every day. he is VERY good with his GLOVE....he makes bad throws every once and a while...he is a good hitter with good potential...

Sanchez for Encarnacion would be perfect for both teams, but would require the Reds to sign someone like Izturis or Everett to cover third and short....

I would love that trade, but would also like to try to get Winn or Molina...but EE for Sanchez would be fair for both teams..

Ctown: If the Giants were in “all in mode” there is some logic to the Giants moving Winn & Molina. The other thing is they both qualify as Type “A” if their contracts ended this winter instead of next. Molina is probably a pretty safe bet to keep Type “A” and Winn (while Mr. Steady) is in a rougher group should still be a type “B”. That would give team a chance to get 5 picks in the 2010 draft before the by the end of the second round. That’s a nice little farm recharge kit between them.

"I think the Reds should sign Texeria and then fly straight to Washington and ask for a bail out. Then we sign God."

One of the funniest posts I have read on this site.

I wouldn't mind the Reds trading EE strait up for Sanchez. Could help both teams and the Reds can always find someone else to play 3B, perhaps that fella out in Seattle? Also we should drive to Washington in a small flex fuel car to ask for a bailout, not fly. After all, we're not Generous Motors.

EE for Winn yeah right! EE has enough talent just needs to work on his mechanics. I don't know how many times I seen him making a web gem. I f were going to get a player in the OF it should be Bailey for Dye. EE has alot more value than Bailey.

keep freel trade encarnacion.
