http://www.crawfishboxes.com/2010/4/1/1400687/breaking-news-astros-trade-three?ref=yahoo hmmm... is this a good thing?
Ackley was the #2 pick last year after Strassburg. Apparently has huge potential, not sure how he's done so far. Lopez looks like some guy who hits ok but doesnt walk (just like everyone else on the stros outside of Berkman) Had 96 RBIs last year but a .303 OBP Basically traded Matsui for Lopez and traded Lyles for Ackley in terms of prospects. Pedro Feliz just got thrown in for whatever reason.
I am thinking April Fools Gag...the ESPN article link takes you to an article about the Dodgers 2nd baseman.
Aw **** I was excited, Astros need to build up the farm..trade the whole mlb team for all I care, there not gonna win anything soon
feliz will be starting at either first or third on opening day. chris johnson will be starting at the other position. no way this trade is true.
Just sent it to my friend who's a big Seattle fan. Can't wait to hear his reaction to this belated April fools joke. Would have been nice, though.
f you all for that hope. should have known when it said ackley. i was first excited to shed salary, then to get lopez (underrated), and then ackley..dammit
Got him. Had my friend scrambling to find any news on this. He was calling the Seattle gm an idiot and other names I shouldn't post here. That was fun...
Sorry but I have to call you out on this cause this is one of my pet peeves. But did you really have to post that without saying anything worthwhile?
Oh, so something worthwhile like this? http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=5216892&postcount=307 Or perhaps this, which is essentially the exact same thing you called out. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=5089451&postcount=5 I guess if the poster had written "Bingo" instead of "This" it wold have passed your rules?
