Two Guy's we should think about

[Traylor]

Howdy HO ,

First one a free agent , A Eaton / not a terrible comeback , exspecialy pitching in Arlington . Still some upside there and should not be to exspensive .

The other by trade , D Johnson 1B Oakland . The A's seemed to sour on him and he appears to be bloked . Lot of upside , he would look good in Orange and Black playing 1B .

Do we match up with Oakland for a trade ?

Eaton has too much injury history for Angelos to let Flanny sign him but I still like him. I do like Dan Johnson a lot though, a fairly young 1b with contact and some power.

[33rdst]

Dan Johnson is a good idea. There are several young first base options around baseball if the O's can get creative.

[TyCobb]

Oakland loves young pitching and we have tons of it.

[broberts]

What do you think they would want for Johnson?

[TyCobb]

Unless they want to trade him, they would ask for erbe.

[Lucky Jim]

Why, possibly, would they ask for Erbe? For a 27 year old with a .705 OPS in the majors last year?

Unless I spelt his name wrong, I am talking about our number 2 prospect and he is 19.

The latter part of LUckyJims comments were about D.JOhnson not Erbe.

No chance a player like Johnson requires Erbe in a trade.

[broberts]

I doubt they would ask for Erbe, they would know we wouldnt accept a trade of Erbe for D. Johnson. If they would ask for Erbe why would they even ask for him?

Because if they don't want to trade Johnson they would ask for our best young pitching prospect.

And who says they don't want to trade him?

Why woulnd't they want to if a team came up with a plausible trade scenario?
