If moving him gets SP then I am for it.
To me it is more about improving overall so even if they make a trade for a good hitter that is fine with me. Before we win A WS we are going to have to upgrade at a few positions as well as the rotation.

I’m hoping the rangers can trade Choo because that might free up more playing time for IKF / Profar.

As you are prone to do (confuse me), how does moving Choo - who is primarily a DH/part time RF - help get two guys playing time who are primarily INF/catcher?

I hope he's not bitter about the move here, or how he was treated. We got him in the high hopes of winning a WS and damn near did. But now that window is nailed shut, so I hope he wants to get outta here for all the right reasons, and one of which would be to escape the frigging weather.

I don't think he's bitter, but he was brought in when the window was open and now it's not. And like that fucker Cliff Lee, he apparently loves the Philly area.

When Hamels is traded I will wish him the best as I appreciate his efforts here. I never wanted him or Lucroy here, but that isn't their fault. I will feel exactly the same way about Choo if he is ever traded.

I was looking back at some of the posts from the 2014 deadline yesterday and it made me wonder whatever happened to Terps. I noticed him and a guy named Driftwood were the only ones willing to trade Beltre back then. I came on board here just after rhat deadline time and I remember Terps being on here, but not the Driftwood fellow.

Two things: (1) Philly is a lot closer to making the playoffs this and for the rest of Cole's career than we are, and (2) Lee has a son who has some 'special needs' and Philly has whatever it is - school/hospital, etc - which DFW didn't. Plus, Cliff's wife hated the weather, the distances to get anywhere, and the lack of mass transit.

Don't hold any grudges against either of em myself actually.

Same here.....enjoyed Terps but have no recollection of Driftwood.......DT mentioned at the beginning of the season about how many posters have fallen by the way-side.

Honestly, if we trade Choo, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to see Gallo get sent down, and call up both of our OF who need a 'look-see' IMO.
