When I use to write blogs on FOX, this was one of my more favorite articles to write. I received a lot of positive press with it, as it was one of my more popular articles. Why? It's baseball trades, the second best thing in baseball (games are obviously the best).
Brian Roberts
Throughout the entire winter, we heard Brian Roberts was going to the Chicago Cubs. We also heard he was going to the Indians. You know where he's actually going to go? Colorado. The Rockies use Willy Taveras in the leadoff spot, then Troy Tulowitzki in the two hole. If the Rockies make this trade, they will have a dominant lineup from No. 1 to No. 8. Plus, this move allows for Jayson Nix to develop as a hitter at Triple-A a little longer. So, lets see this move in it's entirety:
Baltimore Orioles receive: 3B Jon Herrera, RHP Pedro Strop, RHP Esmil Rogers, 2B Omar Quintanilla & C Edwin Bellorin.

The Orioles-Rockies trade is ridiculous. First, you vastly undervalue Roberts. Second, the Orioles have A LOT invested in one Matt Wieters who is projected to push Ramon Hernandez out as the starter sometime during the 2009 season. They will not be looking for catching prospects.

I would love to see Russ Adams traded from Toronto to a small-market National League team like Cincinnati.
I think he could be a really good player if he were to play for a team that has an appreciation for small ball and is not managed by Ricciardi/Gibbons.
