Around SBN: NHL Trade Rumors: Do You Make A Move For Rick Nash?

Saturday market shopping list

Well, damn. With all the rain today, a lot of my favorite vendors weren't at the market this morning. I had a whole list of stuff I was looking for: locally-grown green pitchers, a free-range shortstop, a brace of hot corners ... 'course, there's limits to being a committed locavore. Some things you just can't grow or manufacture in these parts. So I had been thinking about going on-line to order the industrial-strength bats; I kind of don't care where they're made or how much they cost, because ... well, some things you can only take bargain-hunting and self-imposed ethical limitations just so far. So what's on your off-season shopping list?

I was thinking...

maybe another throw back A’s jersey, but one that is actually my size so I could wear more often.

Barring that, maybe a Cubs or White Sox throwback Jersey if I could afford it/find it cheap. I really like the look of this one, to be honest.

one of those New Era A's caps

with the skyline and the Bay Bridge that hasn’t even been finished yet.

Pat the Bat, at a reasonable cost, and Giambi on a one year deal...

and if you’re really feeling adventurous, throw in a Furcal while your at it, and swing a trade for Beltre.

Yes, I speak for Monkeyball now

He officially has no comment.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

-Crosby’s DFA papers, or he’s “Kotsayed” (salary eaten, traded).
-A young competent third baseman/shortstop. (Ian Stewart/Daniel Murphy plz). Main trade chips are Street and Smith.
-The A’s adopting the relief ace/superior method of bullpen management, and sticking to it.
-Furcal on a 1 year deal as a stopgap

I like the idea of a free range shortstop

Can we go ahead and put up with the growth hormone, or is that milking it too much?

I just wish he’d skip lunge.

Shopping lists...

I have more money to spend now, because a jersey i was about to buy (for a lot of money) didn’t happen….
I NEED A NEW COMPUTER!!!!!!!
and a shortstop/good bat would be nice too… but I have this bad feeling that once we trade Crosby he’s going to get really good with whatever team he goes to. I hope I’m wrong, because then I would be sad.
