Why in the world would he go to the Brewers? C'mon man. :?

If Holliday leaves (I think he will), we can go after these names:

Jason Bay
Jermaine Dye
Vlad Guerrero
Bobby Abreu
Adam Dunn
Josh Willingham
Carl Crawford
Manny Ramirez
Defense matters. Most of those guys should be designated hitters and are type A free agents. FWIW, Dye and Ramirez have options for 2010.

There's no need for Washington to trade Willingham, and I don't think we have what it would take to get Crawford.

Mike Cameron, a type B free agent, does intrigue me somewhat.

We're getting Hanley Ramirez for Ryan+Garcia and Carl Crawford for Ludwick?

Any chance we could throw in Boggs & Franklin to pickup Lincecum?

That would be tough. Throw in Thurman and the deal will be set.

I'm pretty sure throwing in Thurman will net us Cain as well.

Teammate or NYC hack writer. There's the no brainer of the month on credibility.

I've been saying for some time now we needed to trade Duncan for Crawford. Hopefully Mo realizes I'm right this offseason and does it!!!!! No need to give up Luddy, he's too valuable.

I guess I've been busy. Well, also I don't know what you're talking about.
