Dumb Trade Ideas Thread

I like the idea of trading Gathright as he is redundant and also not very good.

gathright will be to micah hoffpauir this year what ronny cedeno was to daryl ward last year.

A guy who plays a different position and has little connection to him?

I think he's saying that Gathright's use will be as a defensive replacement for Hoffpauir when he starts just as Cedeno frequently came off the bench as the pinch-runner for Ward. It's not an airtight comparison (as Cedeno did get a decent number of at-bats last year so that wasn't a majority of his role as it likely will be for Gathright) but it is a similar sort of relationship. The weaknesses of the 2nd players mentioned add value to the otherwise limited 1st players mentioned.

close. i think that gathright will pinch run for hoffpauir when hoff pinch hits and gets on base, just as cedeno so frequently did for ward last year.

I guess I could see that as well although Hoffpauir runs a decent bit better than Ward did. It will probably be much more situational while with Ward it was almost automatic that he'd be coming out for somebody (sometimes Cedeno, sometimes Marquis, sometimes another player).
