Hank Conger: How about this trade with Baltimore?

[Olive Garden Table For One]

On the Orioleswin board they were proposing Jake Arrieta for Mike Trout before coming to senses and adding Russ Canzler to the mix.

Scioscia and Conger for Showalter?

HOF forum?

For a first post, that's like hitting a grand slam.  Welcome to the board.

[Angel Oracle]

Cowart, Maronde, and Cron would be a start to acquiring Machado.

Don't think we want to empty our farm system, given that Cowart will have similar success to Machado in time.

Well in the wake of the Wells trade being done...

 

Conger and Exicardo Cayones for Machado. No way Baltimore can say no.

[Angel Oracle]

Scioscia, Butcher, and Picciolo for Showater.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Baltimore willing to trade their stud prospect starting SS for a backup catcher? Makes sense.

 

Teams are always willing to trade their treasures for our leftovers.

I can't blame the OP for proposing this trade after Dipoto pulled off the unthinkable.

[Wallerrrr]

id totally flake on that trade

[HaloRed16]

Conger + Cron for Jim Johnson?

 

I'd do it, personally.

I wouldn't trade them for a bullpen arm.  Meanwhile, everybody, Machado is far from it of trying to get.  Conger can probably DH, he's waning away from the Halos future plans, and it might be good for them to tap into that O's fluffy farm in the process. 

[HaloRed16]

If the O's have a catcher hidden w/in their system of the Molina type (Benjie or Yadier) then I'd ask for him in exchange for Conger. That would include driving them in with men on base, hardly striking out, throwing out runners and fielding at a high percentage. We've missed that!

[HaloRed16]

Benjie's was an entirely different animal with hardly SO at the plate that they'll probably never find again, but it's a benchmark.

 

Send Conger to the O's for C prospect Michael Ohlman and LHP prospect Bennett Parry.  The O's are loaded with pitching in their system and Parry would be interesting to grab along with it.    

[HaloRed16]

On a side note: It's a matter a time whether Nate McLouth will remain in the O's lineup, and keep your eye on LJ Hoes perhaps replacing him in 2013.  Hoes doesn't have the power but he's a good-looking ballplayer across the board between the bat and glove.
