    I will reserve judgment until I see if Singleton is in the deal. If not, Wade should be ****canned

    The Keppinger trade may be a separate trade and not be a part of the "3 for 1" Oswalt trade.

    Keppinger for Gose?

    Pretty sure he was saying anyone not involved in the trade can throw out any names.

    I'm gonna make a twitter and quote you. That should legitimize your musing.

    That would be nice, but this isn't the NBA where they have to match up salaries. What would be the point?

    (not trying to be an ass...just curious as to why you think they'd do that?)

    Keppinger does not have a no trade clause for one.

    Jim wasnt saying that was the deal. ;) That was me speculating on what I've seen. However, it appears it is. No new news to come out recently. No news is good news. :p

    Yea, at lunch I saw Ed Price's tweet about 2 people saying Singleton was in the deal. What has Todd Z. tweeted lately, anything relevant?

    this BS.. Phillies gave up very good prospects to get Cliff Lee. Why cant Ed Wade get any good prospects in return?

    It's funny because the Phils tried to give Happ in the deals for Halladay and Lee instead of what they had to give up. Amaro finally found a team dumb enough to take Happ back for their ace. :)
