Adam Dunn on our list?

Like I said, the first player I'd ask for would likely be Guthrie. And for a guy like Gamel the Orioles shouldn't have a problem dealing him.

But it doesn't neccessarily have to be a stud 1B prospect. There are good 1B prospects out there that are blocked like Joe Koshansky or Nick Evans that are available.

Those could possibly be acquired by dealing Luke Scott for example. The Mets could use Scott right now more than they could use Evans...

Is Joe Koshansky the long term answer for this team at 1B???

[DeanMW]

Read into this as little as you want but I was told there is a good chance out first baseman will be either Eric Hinske or Sean Casey.

That is just mindbendingly horrid.

He could be possibly. He could be a poor man's Ryan Howard if he was given a shot.

I don't think it would take much to get him as he's going to be 27 this season.

So if you didn;t have to trade the player you wouldn't accept David Hernandez is trade???

Depends on the player. If I couldn't get Tillman or Arrieta; however, I could get Reimold and Britton/Erbe... well, that might be okay.

Like I said though, it depends on the player.

Do you have any idea what 1B prospects we've inquired about?

[bigbird]

Does that mean Huff is our Dh or are we going to trade him?

DH or maybe 1B.

None to my knowledge

[ChaosLex]

None to my knowledge

Seriously?

That makes Hinske and Casey even more wretched.

[33rdst]

DH or maybe 1B.

Thanks BB. Do you think Scott will get Traded?

By the way I'm not thrilled with either of these guys but a water cooler has more mobility than Casey.

It also sounded like Looper is no longer an option.

No I don't....

No complaints here.

None to my knowledge

And that is completely stupid based on the lack of depth in our system. Do we expect to keep signing Millar types until we can draft a solution? Or are we looking at biding time until Pujols is available? :rolleyestf:

We've got the resources to deal for a LT 1B solution and it's something we desperately need. I hope they aren't looking at Rowell or Snyder as the LT solution there...

I think Looper is going to get three years. Whose left? I hope not Hendrickson? How about Kawakami?

I think they're going to have to trade for pitching.

Why would we trade for pitching when we can just sign somebody?

Trading for a stopgap pitcher is just idiotic...

I'm open for suggestions.
