Who's next? What are your thoughts on the trades so far? Share your thoughts here.
Events I'm still waiting for:
- Ubaldo Jimenez has to pass his physical to make the trade to the Indians official.
- Will Rich Harden ultimately get dealt to the Red Sox, or is that deal officially dead?
- Where will Heath Bell end up?
- Will B.J. Upton get dealt?
- Will the Pirates get an outfielder to go along with their acquisition of Derrek Lee?
- Will the Reds trade for anyone?
- Will the Cubs trade anyone, anyone at all, away, or are the likes of Jeff Baker and Reed Johnson just too viable for their 2012 chances?

As for Bell in Philly, they could probably build a deal around Trevor May and Julio Rodriguez pretty easily if they didn't mind further gutting their farm system.

Good point on the approval of the trade - I'm just surprised we never even heard whispers that the pirates were intrigued.
A hurt Furcal might Be Better than cedeno :)

Chicago detective: "He murdered her for the money."
Tommy Lee Jones' character: "But he's a doctor, isn't he already rich?"
detective: "Yeah, but she's more rich."

Before last season started what were the odds Heath Bell would be in a Padres uniform on August 1, 2011?

re:Bell a Pad tomorrow? Still think its highly unlikely, think you're gonna see Reagins (Angels) pull off a last minute thing to counter act the Rangers movements, just like last season with Lee/Haren

Why did Ned Colletti feel the need to insert himself in the Erik Bedard deal? Ok, so the PCL is an extreme hitter's league, but Trayvon Robinson's stats if you please:
.293/.375/.563, 26 HR, speed to burn...solid defense. Oh wait, we have Juan Rivera and the son of a HOFer to handle LF? My bad. I'm fully convinced that Ned knows he's not going to be around under the new ownership, so he's screwing with the future of the francise with this ridiculous deal. The return for Robinson? A catcher who turns 24 this week and can't hit for average or power, a reliever who isn't even in the Rotowire database (hint: not a good sign), and another mediocre reliever who shares Barney Fife's last name. I'm not going to be much fun at the family dinner tonight. Oh, but hey, the Dodgers got the second best player in baseball that has the last name Castellanos in the Furcal deal.

Think of it from a fantasy perspective. Do you really like being the guy who gives up the best player in a deal without getting at least one sure thing in return? I would have no problem trading Albert Pujols, but I'm not going to do it unless I'm getting a first baseman like Mark Teixeira / Ryan Howard plus more in return. Sickening.

Though also as a Giants fan I sure wish SF had picked up a catcher who can hit over .180, and almost any SS other than Orlando Cabrera. Doesn't Sabean realize that his miserable .277 OBA is a lot more important than his middling .244 batting average? An OPS under .600, and very suspect SS range, does not seem like great help for a team shooting for post-season success.

I found some excellent articles for anyone who is looking to improve their! can be a really big issue for a lot of people, and I think more and more people are starting to understand the power of the internet and internet advertising. That's why can be such an important factor. These guys make some excellent points about how important is. Most people today look at least for ten minutes online today before doing business with someone. It can be almost compulsive if you ask me. But anyways for anyone who is looking for tips or who are looking to improve their you may want to contact these guys.
