New? trade partners for Ramon

Just saw this on the bottom of a Roch blog:

Do you know what teams are looking at Ramon Hernandez? What might the O's get in return for Ramon. Also, if Ramon is traded, does that make Matt Weiters the starting catcher?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Detroit and Cincinnati are two of the rumored teams. If Ramon is traded, chances are pretty good that Wieters is the starting catcher on Opening Day. But if he doesn't look ready in spring training, the Orioles won't rush him. - Roch

I have not heard of these two teams being interested in him. I apologize if I missed it somewhere. I would love some input from the Reds and Tigers analysts as to what they might give up for him. I assume it would be a low to mid level prospect.

Wieters should go to the minors until April 15 whether we deal Ramon or not.

We should be getting rid of Ramon for whatever we can get and eat as little salary as possible.

Agreed. If we don't leave him in the minors until that date, it is beyond incompetent. I don't care if we need to bring back BJ Surhoff to catch for two weeks.

I have a feeling Zaun will be our catcher the first two weeks. I agree Ramon needs to go this off-season, just thought it was interesting to see these some new teams pop up with possible interest.

I think if we do trade Ramon, we can still find a good serviceable catcher to fill the time until Wieters is ready to come up. I see Wieters being called up late May early June.

Ramon, Reimold, and Bergeson for Bailey?

Giving too much there.

Yes -- unless he's extended before the season starts, which would make this issue go away.

Agree. How about Ramon + Penn or Ramon + DCab? I would love to package one of those two out.

Ramon, Reimold, and Bergeson for Bailey?

I'd do that.

Ramon to the Reds for Alex Gonzalez and Freel?

Or to the Tigers for Nate Robertson?

I would do the Ramon + DCab in a heartbeat. We would give our terrible catcher and terrible pitcher for a guy with potential.

Are we talking about the same Bailey here? Those packages wouldn't even get the hat from his head.

Hell, I'm not sure those packages would get the hat from anyone's head.

Ramon to the Reds for Alex Gonzalez and Freel?

Or to the Tigers for Nate Robertson?

I would say no Nate Robertson. Terrible and extremely expensive.

Though I would do Ramon for Gonzalez,Freel and Farney.

would you take on D willis contract for Ramon?
