Wow. If I didn't have Howard I could have given a lot more for Fielder.

Like we've said after previous trades, no one needs to defend themselves, and I'm not speaking on the Rangers behalf, but.....
Just like my earlier trade when I received Quentin for Dye and the #4 overall pick and everyone thought I was nuts, this trade was made with multiple offers exchanged daily for a week or two and was well thought out by both owners. We both are obviously happy with the deal or else it wouldn't have happened. I respect everyone's opinions and their right to voice them on this message board, but I'll always feel that it's each owner's opinion on what a fair offer is.
That being said, again - Thomas is on the block. I need a LF and am willing to add a SP in the right deal.

How does Texas go from offering me Willy Mo & Milton for Wright & Cain, to trading Prince & Thomas for Kemp, Swisher & Kerry Wood?
Something just seems a little wacky. Maybe I've presented myself as a gullible GM to this point.
I guess in a world of twisted logic,
Swisher and Wood = Fielder and Diaz.
That would leave Thomas = Kemp.
I could find some logic in that, I suppose.

I agree that something fishy is going on in the state of Texas. I was offered Wily Mo and Melky Cabrera for Johan Santana and another player.
Just for perspective, I guess.

Texas definitely has to step up the offers. I don't wanna bash him or tell what he offered to me cause I know it doesn't feel good that everyone starts going against you. But it surprises me that he gave up what he did after he was asking for the moon for his players.

I guess living here in Seattle and watching Bavasi play with the M's, it changes your view on how trades look.
