Re: Trade Idea- Freel for Ramon Hernandez?
I wonder how many players that leaves from the opening day roster in 2007?
The only position players left are Edwin, Phillips, and Gonzalez.
Re: Trade Idea- Freel for Ramon Hernandez?
I wonder how many of his passed balls were uncorked by Daniel Cabrera?

Time to change the thread title to more than a "trade idea"?

I'm in a hotel...what were the details of the deal?

There are plenty of players like Jerry Hairston that will be looking for a role in a few months. Remember how we got Jerry in the first place? I'd rather go with a young guy with a better glove and offensive upside over the known commodity that Jerry Hairston is...

Hernandez + cash for Freel + 2 minor leaguers
Nothing official yet, but said to be on the commissioner's desk...

Freel ($4M in 2009) + 2 prospects for Ramon Hernandez ($8M in 2009 and a team option for 2010 at $8.5M and a $1M buyout). The Orioles will throw in some cash...

More than a few if I remember correctly but several pitchers who have started for the O's in the last two or so years aren't know for their stellar control. :eek:
Re: Trade Idea- Freel for Ramon Hernandez?
I expect the minor leaguers to be fairly inconsequential, so this looks like a good deal. Hernandez should still be in his prime for the next couple of years, and he has put up some excellent OPS numbers in the past.

I misread an earlier post. I thought The Jock was doing a presser at 4:15. Based on that, and some of the recient posts I thought the details of the cash/players were announced.
My bad.
(Thanks for the help, however).
Re: Trade Idea- Freel for Ramon Hernandez?
Definitely an unsexy move, but it does mean the catcher position will probably be at least average both offensively and defensively. So it's certainly not a horrible move or anything.

Like who? It's not like I want Hairston to be a starter or anything, just a utility player who platoons with Dickerson.

It's actually nice to see WJ trade Freel for something of value to the team. You're right, it's not sexy, but Hernandez definitely fills a team need, and he isn't Javy-bad or Bako-bad.

I'm OK with it. At least it gives Walt a year to look for a younger, more longterm solution.
Re: Trade Idea- Freel for Ramon Hernandez?
This improves the catcher position. Go trade for Jermaine Dye, bring in one more starting pitcher and let's go to work!
