Friday, July 23, 2004Thank you Jayson...I haven't laughed this hard in weeks... In his latest Rumblings and Grumblings column on ESPN.com, Jayson Stark suggests that the DiamondBacks would want to include Frankie Rodriguez in any possible Randy Johnson deal: Indications are that the Diamondbacks haven't just targeted Anaheim's farm system. They've also looked hard at the Angels' big-league club.I especially like the "assuming the Angels would turn that deal down..." part. There's no reason for assumption here- if K-Rod's name came up in any trade conversation, Bill Stoneman would immediately hang-up the phone. Of course that would require Stoneman to actually pick up a phone at some point. I think we should all agree to stop talking about Randy Johnson- he's not going anywhere. No one is going to be willing (or able) to pay the ridiculously high price the D-Backs have slapped on the Unit. One trade rumor we can still talk about- according to the LA Times, the Angels have been scouting Kris Benson as of late. It is apparent that Stoneman is not willing to deal any of "the big three" for Benson, so unless Dave Littlefield blinks with the deadline looming (don't bet on it), a deal is highly unlikely. |
