Will be 1B Teixera be traded for the second time in two years?
Is closer Huston Street the next to be traded?
Can Nady, Bay or Wilson be traded?

Who is the next to be traded?
What do you think?

Griffey is one of the leaders. Bear in mind, he is a 10 and 5 player who will refuse getting traded to most teams.

I can't for the life of me understand why the Padres haven't taken a flier on Tony Gwynn Jr. yet. First off, the Padres could have gotten him in the Scott Linebrink trade last year but instead got that turd Joe Thatcher. The Brewers have too many outfielders already thats why Gwynn isn't playing and Gabe Gross got shipped off. Right now, the Padres have Jody Gerut as their full-time CF, and he's a close to useless as it gets.

I'm not saying Tony Gwynn Jr. will be a superstar, but he's still relatively young, has good speed and plays good defense. He just may turn into a good leadoff man in the right situation, albeit with zero power. The best part though: It will cost them very little to find out.

It would also be a public relations coup.

Tony Gwynn Jr's 2008 Triple A numbers:

G .. AB .. R ... .H . 2B .3B HR RBI BB SO BA .OBP SLG .OPS .SB CS
52 198 ...25 .. 61 .4 ...0 .1 ..15 .18 31 .308 .368 .343 .711 12 4

Of course, the Padres probably won't do it because it makes too much sense.

Its a gimmick that expansion teams used to pull in order to create warm and fuzzy feelings with the fans. If the Padres obtain him, it is a sign that they do not plan on competing for many years.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean. If he was a certifiable bum, who did nothing in the minor leagues, I might agree. But the man plays good defense, has upside, is hitting over 300 and has 30-40 stolen base potential in the major leagues. He will never hit for power, but he could potentially hit .290+ with 30+ stolen bases with good defense. Thats better than what they have in the majors now or in their farm system.

And the year stinks regardless; no one is masking anything. TGJ is a viable longterm alternative in CF for the Padres. I'm not 100% convinced he'll pan out but for peanuts in return its a great risk reward play here.

His last full year at Triple A in 2006, Gwynn's numbers were:

G .. AB ..R .....H . 2B . 3B HR . RBI . BB ..SO BA .OBP SLG . OPS .SB CS
112 447 73 ..134 .21 ...5 . 4 .. 42 .42 ..84 .300 .360 .396 .756 ..30 .11

Honestly, I think it would be a good story from the Padres standpoint if TGJ became a good major league ballplayer. Who doesn't like the storyline of a HOF's son continuing his path with the same ballclub? But my argument is based on much more than this:

- The Padres need both a leadoff man and long term option in CF. Jody Gerut is not that option. He is not a viable leadoff man either. Gerut will be 31 in a couple months; Gerut missed all of 2005 with major knee surgery. Gwynn fills both holes simutaneously.

- The move would come cheaply - could get him for a borderline prospect most likely. The Brewers have an outfielder surplus which is why he's in the minors now. He an above average prospect who's hitting has improved as he's moved up the latter.

- With Tony making his home in San Diego, who's to say Junior couldn't hang out at the batting cage more with dad and turn into a very good player?

My main point is that I want him to get his shot. The Padres seem like the best fit because they desparately need both a leadoff guy and good defensive CF to cover the big grounds in Petco. The Padres will only embark on a youth movement where they don't need to win right away so again, this makes sense. But hey, I wouldn't complain if his chance came elsewhere. But who?

You're forgetting the simple fact that I - has a Brewers fan - think that Junior is our future everyday outfielder, and that don't want to see him leave the organization.

Plus, Tony Gwynn was my favorite ballplayer while growing up. I think he's a treat to have his son on MY team. Although, Tony said he just fast-forwards Brewers games on his DVR to watch his son's at-bats.

The last rumors:
Foxsports.com reported that the Philadelphia Phillies and Colorado Rockies were working on a multiplayer deal that would have netted the Phils outfielder Matt Holliday and lefthanded reliever Brian Fuentes.

The deal, which reportedly would have cost the Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino, catcher Lou Marson and pitchers Carlos Carrasco and J.A. Happ, could not be finalized, according to the report.

A deal for Fuentes is still possible. The Rockies have scouted Carrasco and Marson at double A in recent days. A major-league scout said Saturday that there is much competition to land Fuentes.

I like that deal. As much as I like Victorino,he's expendable with Rollins at the top. They also need bullpen help and especially lefty bullpen help with J.C. Romero being unreliable due to control problems. Don't know anything about the prospects they'd be giving up but this trade would really give them a devastating lineup and another lefty with closer experience.

I'll add Orioles C Ramon Hernandez to the list of people I think could be traded. His numbers are down (9HR, 39RBI .681 OPS)and with 1 year & $7M left on his contract for next year, i think the Orioles see he is not the future. He could definitely help a contending club... O's could get decent prospect and $7 million off the cap for next year; a year in which they will be rebuilding... He could most help the Yankees (Posada maybe season ending surgery), Phillies, Brewers, and Marlins.

Oh yeah, they also have a 27 yr old catcher named Omir Santos hitting .321 in Triple A who could command about $6.6M less for next year.

Why would the Atros want that P.O.S.? It always amazes me how ML clubs would rather pay a MEDIOCRE pitcher $7M a year rather than call up a minor league, even if he's a baseline prospect. Wolf doesn't have the repetoire to ever be mre than a 4th started at best, and on most clubs long relief. Makes no sense to me at all.

On that note, looks like Houston Street is about to be traded. i've never liked HS, and i think he is definitely not closer material. Very average stuff and his slider gets HAMMERED when if flattens out - which is often. The Dodgers are suckers:


Huston Street: Dodgers Reportedly Interested

RotoWire.com Staff - RotoWire.com 3 hours, 42 minutes ago

Update: The Dodgers are believed to be interested in Street, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Recommendation: There’s little doubt that the A’s would move Street if their asking price is met, so those in AL only leagues might want to start digging for speculative saves out of the Oakland bullpen.

I can see Casey Blake getting picked up too *Casey Blake to the Twins would be a great fit - need 3Bman and 1B man to spell Morneau to DH for some time off. Arizona, Dodgers would work too.

My words ring prophetic:


Dodgers boost offense with Blake

Seeking a fresh bat to prod an offense that is at or near the bottom of the National League in runs, home runs and batting, the Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired Casey Blake from the Cleveland Indians for two minor leaguers and cash, the teams announced Saturday morning.

The Dodgers will play Blake, who will be a free agent at the end of the season, at third base, where Blake DeWitt and Andy LaRoche have struggled recently. That means the team will stay with Nomar Garciaparra for as long as he holds up at shortstop, though their trading-deadline preference was to add a shortstop (they’d talked about Alex Cora and David Eckstein, had little interest in Jack Wilson) and move Garciaparra to third.

Rafael Furcal, who is recovering from back surgery, is not expected to return until late August, at the earliest, and could miss the remainder of the season.

Blake has 11 home runs and 58 RBIs for the Indians, who expected to contend in the AL Central after coming within a win of the World Series in October. Instead, they have traded their best pitcher – C.C. Sabathia – and one of their most consistent run producers – Blake – this month, and are in a mild rebuild mode.

Kept afloat by a weak NL West, the Dodgers lead the NL in ERA, but have been lifeless offensively, primarily because of Furcal’s injury and Andruw Jones’ strikeout-prone season. James Loney, Andre Ethier and Garciaparra have picked up the offense lately, but DeWitt, who came out of Double-A to win the third-base job in spring training, has no home runs and six RBIs since May.

Protective of their top-end prospects and young big-leaguers and boxed in by the Jones contract, the Dodgers will pass on the bigger bats that could come free in the coming week – Matt Holliday, Adam Dunn, Jason Bay, Raul Ibanez – for Blake, a decent bat at a reasonable cost. And with the rest of the West staggering about them, a little bit of offense over the final two months could mean a place for them in the playoffs. They’ll now likely move toward adding a relief pitcher – Takashi Saito’s elbow soreness has left the back end thin – while hoping injured starters Brad Penny and/or Jason Schmidt give them something in the second half.

Most GMs still believe reliever Brian Fuentes will come available in Colorado, despite the Rockies’ better play recently. Closers George Sherrill of the Orioles and Huston Street of the A’s also could be dealt.

The Indians, who believed at one point they had a deal in place to send Sabathia to the Dodgers, will underwrite some of the remaining money on Blake’s $6.1 million contract. They’ll receive from the Dodgers Jon Meloan, a 24-year-old right-handed starter with a 4.97 ERA at Triple-A Las Vegas, and Carlos Santana, 22, a catcher with 96 RBIs in the Class-A California League. Santana also has played third base.
