Greatest PTBNL

[heyabbott]

How about a real sports thread?

Who's the greatest PTBNL?

WTF?

Rob Ducey. He was traded for himself.

WTF?

Player To Be Named Later

 

[Fudgie the Whale]

How we can answer this question if there are players out there who have yet to be named?

See what I get for trying an acronym jack...

Metaphysics

I thought there were part-time Barenaked Ladies out there.

Add one more to the contest for dumbest thread in SJ history.
The list is getting way out of control.

They work 39.5 hours a week so Steven Page doesn't have to pay them benefits. It gives him more money to buy drugs.

Beat me to it.

Because the answer is so obviously Rob Ducey?

 

[Football_Bat]

Acro(batic) nym(ph)s?

 

[poindexter]

John Edwards, by the newspapers, as soon as the Enquirer prints better photos.

Back to the subject at hand (and I really don't think the thread is that dumb):

Shortstop Jose Gonzalez, who was traded to the Giants in the 1980s and then soon after changed his last name to Uribe.

Also, Harry Chiti, a Mets catcher, was traded for himself in the 1960s.

Was David Ortiz a PTBNL?

And it is redundant to say "player to be named later." It's just "player to be named."
If he isn't in the trade now, obviously he is going to be named "later."

Unless, of course, he's setting a new record.

 

[Claws for Concern]

Two trades that come to mind, but I don't think they were coined as "PTBN"

John Smoltz (Doyle Alexander deal between Detroit and Atlanta)
Jeff Bagwell (Larry Andersen deal between Boston and Houston)

 

[Trey Beamon]

Bobby Hill. :

Was David Ortiz a PTBNL?

Free agent signing for the Sox, but he was a PTBN in a deal that sent him from Seattle to Minnesota. Seattle received Dave Hollins from the Twins
