This is going to be true

I'm OK with that IF we have both Lee and Doc.

Is this reparations for fleecing Shapiro or something?

If Drabek was what was holding up the deal in July, why is he on the table all of a sudden when Toronto's leverage is at an all-time low.

The only way Drabek should be going anywhere is if Lee is staying.

Kyle Drabek-S- Phillies Dec. 14 - 8:56 pm et

Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun has heard that RHP Kyle Drabek is involved in Monday's three-team blockbuster but not Mariners prospect Phillippe Aumont.
So, we're still waiting to hear what the M's are giving up to get Cliff Lee. Here's what we've gathered to this point: The Phillies will get Roy Halladay from the Blue Jays and will hand him a three-year, $60 million contract extension; The Blue Jays, in turn, will get Drabek, catcher Travis D'Arnaud and possibly outfielder Michael Taylor from the Phillies; Seattle will then wind up with Cliff Lee.

Sorry...just Brown and d'Arnaud...no Lee

Brown said no one from the Phillies had called him as of 6:30 Monday night but that he had spoken to his agent, Scott Boras, earlier in the day looking for a potential update but there was none coming.

“I really don’t know what’s going on,” said Brown, who is in West Palm beach, Fla. “I’m just happy to be mentioned in this. Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee and I are mentioned in a deal. That’s really great. I want to play at Citizens Bank Park but things happen and this is a business.”
.
.
“A lot of people say that [they don’t want to trade us]. But like I said, this is a business. A guy with the stature of Roy Halladay, that’s a big-time name and I haven’t done anything yet. You never know what will happen. I was looking to be a Phillie and hopefully I will be a Phillie but this is business. I’m just not trying to get overwhelmed by the situation.”
.
.
“I had a great time [in the AFL] and a great experience but I didn’t do as well as I thought I should have,” Brown said. “I started off hot and I think I kind of just got tired at the end. That’s not going to happen to me again, getting tired. I’m going to work had and prepare myself this off-season.

“We’ll see what happens over the next few days with this trade.”
.
.
Travis d’Arnaud, who was also mentioned in one published report as being part of the deal, is also in the dark. He said he was playing golf when the news about the potential deal broke and that he has been told by several people about the situation. No one from the Phillies, however, has called him.

“I’m just kind of trying to figure out what’s going on,” said d’Arnaud, who was the 37th pick in the 2007 draft and is considered to be Philadelphia’s top catching prospect. “I’m pretty excited about it. Whatever gets me up there faster. If I can get up there faster with Toronto, then I am excited about it.

“I’m surprised and shocked about that this is going on. I just play ball and try to have fun. I don’t ever think about who is watching me.”

If we're trading them Lee, and we're sending all the prospects to Toronto, I think the closest thing Seattle can be contributing is King Felix.

I don't think there's any chance they trade Drabek AND Lee unless Ruben has gone insane. Idiot writers should stop speculating shit and actually find some actual names.

by **FTN** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 22:00:00

I know a couple of Mariners fans. They think they shouldnt give up anything for Lee.

if drabek is going, and blanton et al have done their phsyicals, who are we getting from the mariners to replace drabek? and does that still mean we have lee?

my bin is rightly done in now.

Then someone will make a counter argument and you'll be totally on board.

Smoke a fatty, take a shot of whiskey and come back here in 20 minutes. Grab 5-8-77 too and you'll be fine.

Yeah. Amazing that this deal was finished like yesterday and not one person can report for certain who the prospects are.

by **FTN** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 22:02:21

that whole month is ridiculous. but dont get off topic.

this is gonna be fine

Where's the report that Blanton got a physical?

by **VFB** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 22:02:30

J.C. Ramirez could be one of the Mariners prospects on the move
