Q & A with MacPhail

[Rockbird]

Would Reimold go back for Bay? I'd assume he'd be blocked at the corners if Bay were acquired. Does Reimold play center? Or if Tejada is traded for Pie as is heavily expected, there'd be no room for him anywhere?

Reimold, Liz, Penn for Bay?

[Peace21]

Yes as a possibility.

You can almost make it a definite

If he could that would be a nice outfield. Bay, Reimold and Markakis!!! O man I need a bib I just started drooling.

Erik is in one of his moods?

[tywright]

We don't want Bay...we need to build, not acquire more players who use to be good.

Oh boy. Argh, I'm starting to get excited about all the possibilities. I wish something would happen right now!

[Tank]

Depending on how much time Bay has left before FA and what it would take to get him, I would be interested.

I cant wait to see the haul.

My take on the McPhail interview was that much of what he said verified what we've been told by the "insiders'. The trade of Tejada for Pie, Marshall and prospects sounds like the kind deal we can expect. Acombination of position players, and relievers.

This could be a very interesting week. I hope I can get some work done.

Question for anybody really. We propose all this speculation of Bedard to the Dodgers for 3 of their top young players. But, is this speculation based in any reality? Are the Dodger really in the market for another top starter? Or is it just "they have a lot of prospects we want, let's trade him there" mentality. They would have Penny, Lowe, Schmidt, Billingsly, Wolfe and Kershaw on his way.

Its funny in AM's response he responds with his trade value first, and then adds that they have had preliminary talks. (Talks that my guy was not aware of!). Just seems strange how AM responded to that question.

My only problem with Bay is that while he's not old, he's not exactly young either. He's already 29, which surprised me.

I would expect the Dodgers to be in it.

Let the hype begin!

This is why I love the offseason. We loooooove hype, almost moreso than action!

Me too, he feels like he should be 25. Well, look at it this way, we'd replace Tejada's power production, get 2 years younger and still do a lot of rebuilding around him.
