Best Trade Offers I've Heard in Emails

PrintAs you guys know, my email is always open. Sometimes I get some...uhh....interesting emails. My personal favorites are trade offers that people want opinions on. Such trade offers I've received in the past include trading Alex Rodriguez and a player to be named later for Mark Buehrle, trading Kyle Farnsworth for Lastings Milledge, and trading Robinson Cano for Chad Billingsley and Andre Eithier.
Here are the best emails I have received since the start of this season (won't include authors of the emails for privacy reasons)
Trade A: Javier Vazquez and Alfredo Aceves for Jonathan Sanchez and Todd Welleymeyer.
Trade B: Zach McAllister and Colin Curtis for Mike Pelfrey.
Trade C: Jesus Montero and Javier Vazquez for Kyle Drabeck and Scott Downs.
Trade D: Randy Winn and Austin Romine for Russell Martin and Reed Johnson.
Trade E: Nick Swisher and Romulo Sanchez for Matt Kemp.
Trade F (my personal favorite) Nick Johnson, Javier Vazquez, and Reegie Corona for Ichiro and Franklin Guttierez
Trade G (little outdated I guess) Jeff Weaver and Humberto Sanchez for Nelson Cruz.
Trade H: Robinson Cano and Jesus Montero for Chase Utley and Tyson Gillies.
Finally, the last trade, rated I for Insane: (not sure if this is even possible) Mick Kelleher, Dave Miley (AAA manager) and Javier Vazquez for Larry Bowa, Chad Billingsley, and Reed Johnson.
There ya have it folks, fans are crazier than I thought. Would you do any of these trades? Do you feel less crazy about the people suggesting trading Vazquez for Roy Oswalt? I'll send along any offers in May.

Most of these trades don't even work in MLB 2010
unless you have the “trade veto” thingy on. Or off? Whatever the hell it is.
How about we trade Granderso, Vazquez and Jeter for Cameron Maybin, Hanley Ramirez and Josh Johnson and the rights to all the Marlins best prospects from 2010 to 2350.
All seem ridiculous, but...
Swisher and Romulo for Kemp? I love Swish, but Kemp is becoming one of the better young outfielders in the game. A first 5 of Jeter, Kemp, Tex, A-Rod, Cano? That would take the best lineup in baseball and make it a fantasy first round pick better. LA would laugh at that trade offer, but if I’m Cashman and LA for some reason offers me that, I take it.
are you buying into
what colleti said the other night? I wouldn’t.
in 158 games in CF last year he had a positive 3.8 UZR/150. In 2008 when he started playing CF almost full time, 101 games, he had a -2.8 UZR/150
Looks like hes an average to barely above average CF by those standards. And I know this doesn’t mean much, but he won a gold glove last year too. And you cant really call him winning one a popularity contest
I believe in the Church of Baseball

I watch a lot of Dodger games
Stats are one thing, he has 1 error this year, but he doesn’t get to balls or play them as well as decent OF’ers do.
DON"T LOOK NOW....AJAX
Um austin jackson is off to a hot start in detroit… leads league in hits @ 36, batting .364, OBP .422 , 1 HR, 5 SB, he is striking out alot w/ 32 already a pace of over 200 by seasons end…but he’s looking darn good so far…
my favorite:
Montero and Vazquez for Drabek and Downs. That’s hilarious, these people must be Red Sox fans who are spouting wishful thinking.
I'd do Trade F in a heartbeat.
Of course, I don’t work for the Mariners. That one reminds me of Bills fans saying “We need to go out and trade for Peyton Manning.”
Trade H is maybe the closest to being realistic, though even if you think Utley is an upgrade over Cano (I certainly don’t at the moment), the Phillies would still need to add a lot more minor league value.
Usqueadbaugham! Anam muck an dhoul ! Did ye drink me doornail?
Marcus Thames and Randy Winn for Pujols and Holliday
I think that’s fair
"We're only going to score 17 points?"
How about Javy, Granderson, Thames, Johnson and Winn
for Melky, Damon, Matsui and IPK?
