Apparently the Indians are battling the Orioles for most ex-Cubs.

Orioles aren't going to give up easily.

They are trying to trade for Gathwright according to crazy rumor guy.

Jesus Havlat Christ, please make this happen.

Freel for Gathwright

So bittersweet.

On one hand, this is awful news for Bobby Scales.
On the other hand....FARNEY.

Still, the Orioles getting Gathwright is just too fantastic for words.

Getting anything better than a bucket of shit for Gathwright is a win in my book.

Gathright to the O's for Freel and Farney?

That's a +1 right there, fellas.

So he's got an imaginary friend and he's been arrested twice in recent years for booze related incidents.  How could this possibly go wrong at Wrigley?

That said, the thought of the looming Reed Johnson-Ryan Freel outfield collision is frightening.  It'll be all arms, legs and bald heads.

Check out Freel's closest comp at age 32.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/friv/scomp_bat.cgi?I=freelry01:Ryan%20Freel&st=age&compage=32&age=32

Wow, this gets better all the time.

By the way Joey Gathright's closest comp is a shovel.

.357 career OBP, with the league average at .342 over that span. .374 career SLG vs .437 league average.

That amounts to a career OPS+ of 90, which puts him securely above replacement level for an middle infielder, but probably closer to, if not below, replacement level for a corner outfielder.

His best full season was 2006, when he posted a .271/.363/.399 line (93 OPS+) and went 37 for 48 in SB. Wins Above Replacement: 3.9

Since then he's gone .258/.320/.343 (70 OPS+) and 21 for 33 in swipes. WAR: -0.3

By the numbers, he's been consistently above league average defensively everywhere but 2B, which is a shame, because that's the only position he's been a league average batter at.

I can't find any up-to-date stats for Farney.

TPD...

More impressively, Freel ranks at #178 on The All-Time GRIT List, ahead of Adam Kennedy, Aaron Rowand and Willy Taveras, but a bit behind Tom Goodwin.

Anything to get Gathright of the roster, but isn't Freel also the dude who put an ad out on the Cincinnati Craigslist, or something, in an effort to find a chick to give him a hummer?
