Example: My Albert Pujols and Roy Oswalt for his Casey Kotchman and Jair Jurrjens
"With the way Pujols elbow is it's most likely going to blow out any day now and you don't want to be STUCK with him. Plus Oswalt is getting old and since I know your a Braves fan Jurrjens would be perfect to replace him."
I always like reading stuff like this.
Real example or hypothetical example?

Rocinante2: you know
Rocinante2: its easy to dismiss the orioles as a bad team
ofanrex: go on
Rocinante2: i'm done

I was offered my Pujols and Oswalt for I think it was Chuck James and Kelly Johnson last year. And the guys reasoning behind it was basically because Of Pujols elbow, Oswalts age and because I was a Braves fan. (It might not have been James/Johnson but it was 2 bottom of the line Braves players)

Geez.

I wonder if I'd get Zimmerman for Marshall from the local Cubs homer. I'm afraid to try.

Yeah, that trade offer may not have been 100% exact but it was pretty close. There are just some dumb managers out there
