Throw in Bill Hill and I think it would be a done deal.

No team has ever made a trade with a japanese team...its not possible

So, why not be the first?

 

The way free agency is looking, the Crew is going to lose Sheets and Sabathia in FA. Yu may be a way to improve the rotation in the short term. Or do we want to see Parra as the #2 starter? Or Dave Bush? Or Suppan?

 

Barring a miracle or thinking outside the box, Gallardo is the #1 starter with one of Parra/Bush/Suppan as the #2.

Haven't you ever seen Mr. Baseball?

Because the players' association would never let you trade a guy half way around the world without having any say at all.

[sbrylski]

Yeah Clancy, are you serious? Its a fun post, but definitely not based in reality.

[RyDogg66]

Besides, the Ham Fighters are really lacking in middle infielders, I think if we sent them maybe Irribarren and someone like Ozzie Chavez they might listen. Luis Pena to seal the deal.

[Invader3K]

Maybe we can ship Suppan off to some team in the California Penal League while we're at it.

This just in: Bill Hall has been dealt to the Bad News Bears for Kelly Leak and Amanda Whurlizer

 

Another Melvin steal!!!

[dlk9s]

Kyle Kendrick got traded to Japan before this past season, so there is some precedent.

[And That]

With the economy the way it is, do you really think it's wise to increase the trade deficit by sending three players to Japan and only receiving one player in return?

I want at least 4 unicorns, a griffon, 7 magic beans, and the Wicked Witch of the West.

That would shrink the trade deficit. And we wonder how financial guys lead us into this mess.

Every post in this thread has been serious and 100% factual.

Trade deficit is calculated on $$, not items. So it would depend on their salaries. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

But hey, this thread just goes to show that good old American ingenuity is still alive and kicking. That's thinking outside the box.

[MillerParkSouth]

all joking aside, isn't Yu Darvish supposed to be one of the top Japanese players? One would think that any 'trade' would have to start with a Gamel/Prince type.

[mothershipconnection]

Or Calista Flockheart. Japanese people LOVE Ally McBeal.

[And That]

I want to get something straight... do they fight for ham or against it?

[trwi7]

Ham Fighters, sounds like they're against it.

[And That]

I think they might fight as ham?

 

Or is ham an allusion to slip-stick comedy?

You don't want to know what the mascot for the Tokyo Pork Bludgeoners looks like.

A meat mallet?

Magic beans are certainly under-rated.
