Rumorville: Huston Street, Arthur Rhodes, Eddie Guardado

Perhaps it's a coincidence that it's right after last night's late inning loss, but the Brewers have again been linked with relievers Huston Street on the As and Seattle's Arthur Rhodes (whom we apparently were scouting last night).

Although Street sounds a lot more tantalizing, Rhodes seems to generate more interest---if only because he would demand less in a trade.  For Street, the Brewers have only "checked in," and that's pretty vague.  Moreover, as recently as last Thursday, Moustache said he saw trading for a reliever --- and giving up more top prospects --- as unlikely.

We'll see if anything develops.  I suppose if worse comes to worst and we don't land either Street or Rhodes, we can try to trade for Larry Culdesac or Henry Boulevard.

[Note by battlekow, 07/29/08 10:26 PM CDT ] We're scouting Eddie Guardado apparently, too. This is getting pretty stupid.

Oh yeah, so it is

Sorry about that.

Maybe you should add puns to yours? :)

Apparently we’re scouting Eddie Guardado, too?. What the hell, seriously? Stop it.

How many Rangers are we scouting?

Laird, Guardado, Saltalamacchia (maybe)...

speaking of Greinke

“A major league source said the Rangers have inquired about Royals right-hander Zack Greinke, who is 8-7 with a 3.98 ERA and would command top prospects in return.”

Hey, we've got some of those

I heard they were scouting Johnny Estrada, Greg Aquino, Ray King, Carlos George, and Brooks Kieshnick

jihad cannot Independently confirm this, but a source close to the organization has informed me of these developments. Of course, the source has little credability.

FWIW

Easy Eddie is having a pretty good season, including a .193 BAA. I always liked him…

yeah

he would’ve been a hell of a sign in the offseason. (I think-I hope!-I agreed with you at the time.)

Also, cheese.

You did

I checked. :)
