That would have been sweet.

[G-Snarls]

That would have been sweet.

 

We ALMOST had him for nothing

 

That would have been even sweeter

Touche.

Well yeah. Neil Walker would have been cool too. Both are pretty embarassing to ask for though.

[Angrioter]

Lind is a great weapon if you use it in the correct way.

Honestly, since we found out that Jeff Luhnow wanted Giolito for Lucas Harrell, it's been hard for me to see any trade ask as embarrassing. Maybe AA thought there was a chance the Orioles didn't value Pierce properly.

Lind and Pearce would probably rake as a 1B platoon, and Pearce could play LF against RHP.

 

I would've asked for Chris Davis, lol. But, Toronto was looking for a cheaper player so that would've been a no-go...

Lind for Chance Sisco?

What a dumb f*** idea, O's would never do this plus Pearce doesn't even want to play in TO

Nothing wrong with asking for this guy, didn't the O's waive him at some point recently?

 

Anyway, this likely shows that AA did try to get more than Estrada for Lind.

Wut? They valued him so much that they waived him. Just like the Jays did with Lind in 2012. Plus, he would've had no choice but to play in TO, but you're probably trolling so good job.

Lmfao did you just not follow him this season whatsoever?

Follow who, Pearce or LTR, lol?

s***, that would've been a nice pick up by AA last April, but it wasn't meant to be. On the other hand, O's should probably be selling high on him, unless they think 2014 was the real Steve Pearce.

 

Anyway...

[flafson]

I'm amazed at how cheaply AA valued Lind.

And 28 other teams would have said that about EE a few years ago. With someone's head in a noose in Oakland and someone else's head almost in a noose here. Can't be complaining about the minnow that got away when we had the big fish slip out of the boat here but managed to reel him back in somehow.
