Just seen this on the bottom line a few minutes ago and was like "what the fuck"

jesus just when i thought i'd sleep tonight.

Hmm...this is a very interesting deal.

How the hell did Geary get in it? Seriously.

Bourn, a 3/4 outfielder and Constanzo, our only real chance of having a minor league third baseman play for this team for Lidge...

Lidge still strikes everyone out though he walks a few. If it really puts Myers back into the rotation, it would be a very good move. Bought Lidge fairly low...

by **Woody** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:35:28

the real ken r. says that this will enable them to move myers back

by **pacino** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:35:35

i thought they were all like 'yay costanzo'

by 1 » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:36:25

i miss geary's ears already

by **Woody** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:36:41

Ed Wade is buying Costanzo's line of bullshit and is all like, "yeah that guy's not a hack in the field i like 'em"

by **Woody** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:37:01

GOODBYE GAS CAN
hahahahahahah

Initial reaction is that I like it. Lidge was a pretty solid pitcher in 2007 after a brutal 2006. 88 strikeouts in 66 innings confirms he still has stuff. And it moves Myers back into the rotation which is the best thing about it.

by 1 » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:38:26

i'm confused, wade traded a veteran reliever?

by **BigEd76** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:38:28

Myers back to the rotation

Gordon sets up for Lidge

Bruntlett fills the backup IF spot that Abe had

Bourn starts in CF, moving Pence to RF

Note that Lidge is a FA after the season

by **hoya** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:38:32

What is Lidge's salary for next year? And do you think this means we are more likely to re-sign Rowand?

I'm fine with this deal - I didn't see Bourn as much more than a 4th outfielder, and Costanzo is iffy. Lidge should be good for a year and then be a Type A.

by **Bob Loblaw** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:38:33

Losing Bourn doesn't bother me. I liked Geary, but he could be replaced...

Costanzo... He was the Philly boy supposed to take over at 3B and still showed a lot of promise.

Not fond of this trade, but I understand we have to win now.

by **lethal** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:38:49

Ed Wade trades for his first proven veteran middle reliever.

by **WilliamC** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 23:38:59

This seems pretty decent, though I don't know much about Costanzo and what his ceiling might be(though I don't think he is expected to be good at the major league level). Seems like a trade that we are getting value back for Bourn, which is nice, because he might not have value for that much longer.

Seems like an Ed Wade trade in the opposite direction almost, though he still may be the one on the wrong end, at least hopefully.
