(Which begs the question, how the hell do you negotiate a trade without talking about specific names?)

They do it Mafia style:

"You want dat guy?"

"The guy from the place?"

"No, da udder guy."

"How about the guy from before at the thing?"

"Fuggeddabahtit"

"We're gonna need a ML-ready power hitting prospect, a high ceiling starter about a year away, a catching prospect with upside - it's ok if he's raw, he doesn't need to be ML ready - , and a middle infield prospect who can take over in 2010."

"We haven't discussed names."

well that defines it

taylor, drabek, d'arnaud, donald

I hope they've discussed Halladay's name at least. I don't want to trade for Scott Richmond by accident.

I made up that quote, but I did it to point out that they can easily discuss trade parameters without mentioning specific players.

I believe the Rocky V tagline was "Go for it!" So, there's that.
