    GMs For A Day

    In a recent article at ESPN;

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/column...son&id=2261063

    They reveal some of their mail that they recieve from various fans. These fans are actually GM "wannabes" making trades that no other GM would even consider thinking about. Such as:

    Yankees send Carl Pavano, Jaret Wright, Jorge Posada, third-base prospect Eric Duncan and dollar bills to Cardinals for Chris Carpenter, Albert Pujols, Jim Edmonds, Yadier Molina and Jason Isringhausen.

    or

    Diamondbacks trade Russ Ortiz and Luis Gonzalez to the Twins for Johan Santana

    Anyways, I know most of you fans out there are tired of watching the GMs of your baseball team make erratic trades/signings or no trades at all to improve your team. So here is your chance. Post whatever trade you think would help improve your team. It can be realistic, or unrealistic, the choice is yours. The key here is that other users will be able to grade your trade from a 1-10 scale. 10 being a great trade and 1 being, well lets say a Babe Ruth trade. (Please make sure to quoute whoever you are grading in your post, so we know who you are talking about)

    So here you go future General Managers, heres your chance to show the world (or at least OS) that your smart enough to make your team the team to beat come October of 2006.

          If i were GM of the Red Sox i would trade David Wells to Arizona for SS Alex Cintron.

          Trade Bronson Arroyo to Texas for Termmel Sledge (we need a 4th Outfielder)

          And sign Roger Clemens so he can finish his career where he belongs.

                        Mets trade pitchers Steve Trachsel and Matt Lindstrom to Indians for Rafael Betancourt.

                        Mets invite Ray Durham to spring for a chance to win 2B job.

                        Mets offer only 2-year contract to free agent pitcher Julian Tavaras.

                        Mets invite free agnet pitcher Jeff Nelson to spring to win spot on team.

                          No way would I trade Bronson Arroyo for a fourth outfielder that bats from the wrong side of the plate. If he was a right handed hitter I'd think about it, but we need somebody who can hit left handed pitching as a fourth outfielder to platoon with Nixon.

                            As GM of the Jays I would:

                            Trade Eric Hinske to Baltimore for Javy Lopez (I would pay half of Hinske's contract)

                            Give a spring training invite to Frank Thomas and Mike Piazza and have them fight for the DH spot. Whoever wins will then be given a 1 yr/2 million dollar contract with performance clauses. The contract would have a club option for '07.

                            Trade Miguel Batista to Philly for Pat Burell i

                            Trade Rios, Hillenbrand, a front tier pitching prospect to the A's for Barry Zito
