I think we should trade CoonellyDUI to Guantanamo Bay for 3 Taliban terrorists and a Starbucks gift card. They would be more pleasant to deal with over a cup of coffee.

LOL. Yeah I know who created this thread.

On second thought, Guantanamo's GM probably wouldn't take that deal.

Angels just removed Jordan Walden from their closer's role and have inserted 83-year old Scott Downs there. Think we could get the Halos, Giants, and Red Sox in a bidding war for Hanrahan?

it would be nice to see the Pirates in the driver's seat in regard to any deal involving Hanrahan. He is the type of player who could get them an excellent return . If some of those big market teams get nervous about falling too far behind for lack of a closer then, the Pirates need to play it cool and ask their price and keep the phone lines open to other teams with interest. A premium shortstop and a big hitting outfielder or first baseman would be required in the deal. It may be a little early for teams to push for Hanrahan but by June the Pirates may be getting serious phone calls.
