Orioles are mentioned, would this be the extra bat we need?

Boy, I hope so. I heard that and got excited... how long before we know who it was - if ever?

Two days to workout a deal with the claiming team. From the teams mentioned, only NY would be able to claim him before we could.

This could be very exciting!

Gotcha. Thanks. I hope the Yankees didn't snap him up, but that would not surprise me.

I think it may well be us.

[Sanfran327]

I think it may well be us.

I hope that's based on something.

Any idea what the Seamen would want in return?

[scottguz]

What would the trade consist of? Britton plus a lower-level prospect? E-Rod?

Do we still have Brandon Wood?

It's only a one month rental... I would hope we wouldn't have to give up a Britton or E-Rod

Morales is on my fantasy team, been in a bad funk the last two weeks... but was good the two weeks before that.

Maybe Mcfarland or Avery. I wouldn't think it would take anymore than that. It would be a huge boost to the lineup. C'mon DD make good of this day off.

MAC is too much. Avery can go.

One month... Heck, Markakis could be the bat that puts us back over the hump if he busts out.

Would certainly be a strong option at DH. Hits both righties and lefties pretty evenly.

.283/.332/.456/.791 as a LHB (13 HR)

.285/.355/.430/.785 as a RHB (4 HR)

As others have mentioned, hopefully we wouldn't have to give up too much for a one month rental.

SSS, but loving his OPS's of over .900 in TB, NYY, BAL and BOS parks this year.

[Dipper9]

Man, with the way Roberts has been hitting, this would be a great addition for the stretch run, and would be a huge improvement at 2b/DH over the drek we've had out there for most of the year.

[scottguz]

If Hammel is coming back, make him the long arm in the 'pen and send TJ packing? Makes sense I think.
