It’s inevitably going to happen so I’m gonna throw out the first ridiculous trade proposal:
Tillman, Xavier Avery, Wynn Pelzer and 1 more prospect from the O’s for Justin.
There. Someone had to start it.

O’s should keep their prospects and let them develop.
Jeff 30
No I agree. However, I wouldn’t mind seeing this deal (especially if they draft a college starter that is relatively close to the majors e.g. Hultzen, Bradley, etc).

what will it take for the dodgers to get bj upton
Dan Mazzaro
Not being on the verge on a “financial meltdown.”

Now that was funny!

Here’s a typical Red Sox fan proposal: Jed Lowrie, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Michael Bowden, the ghost of Trot Nixon, and a cup of clam chowder for Justin Upton.

Damn dude, you made me hungry. And I was just about to go to bed!

No way. Jed Lowrie is too much to give up for Upton. He’s got like a 1.200 OPS!

Are you crazy? They can’t have Lowrie — the face of the Boston Jed Sox. Now that he’s been freed from the shackles of mononucleosis and Scutaro, he has assumed his rightful place as heir to the shortstop throne, and Iglesias will fill in as a serviceable utility man whenever Jed is unavailable because he is unlocking the mysteries of the human genome, debunking string theory, and solving the Middle East crisis.
Left-handed pitchers who are not named Brett Anderson tremble at the mere sight of him. Right-handed pitchers do not tremble quite as much, but they are still leery of giving him fastballs in the heart of the strike zone when they are behind in the count in close games with runners on base. Hitters who have the audacity to put the ball in play anywhere within Jed’s field of vision soon learn that their mad dash for first base is an exercise in futility, for Jed is blessed with the visual acuity of an eagle, the slender grace of a white-tailed deer, and the dexterity of a spider monkey.
Swap our young Jed-i Master for Scutaro, and we’ll call it square. Also, make sure the clam chowder is red, not white. No need to overpay if they don’t know the difference between Manhattan and New England chowdah.

I still cant get over the fact that BJ stands for Bossman Junior
johnsilver
I can’t understand why BJ can throw with his surgically repaired shoulder like he used to but can’t hit anymore. He stopped hitting period once he got hurt late in 2007, yet here he is 3+ years later drawing attention in trade rumors. A younger version of CoCo Crisp with speed and defense. Nothing more is all he has been for the last 3 years.
