Hardy for Guthrie Thread

[Hate those Rodents]

Okay, so I like this deal a whole lot and some of you will hate it. But I wanted to check Baltimore fans feelings on this one, so I started a thread on one of their boards. Sorry I had to speak as our team's rep on some of their questions, as I know we don't all agree on things. Anyway, I think this is a great fit for both teams and very realistic and here is the thread. I'd love to keep it going in this thread too (just really am only excited about the off-season given where our team is at record wise).

He can't hit, but supposedly, they've spoken very kindly of Izturis, and even his injury replacement, Andino. Makes sense, but I don't see BAL in line.

Glad to see you'd be on board with this one. The fact I would have done this straight up deal last off-season makes me really happy if we can do it after this off-season.

Thanks HTR...

 

Fun to read the Baltimore responses. (I'd do that trade as well)

Could someone give a rundown of Guthrie? What does he throw and how hard?

I for one, would love to see Guthrie in Milwaukee, he's just the type of pitcher we need, and I think its actually within the realm of possibility.
