Who Gets Traded?

I kind of think that sounds like not a bad idea. At first I was about to say yeah right until I realized we have Payton who is a great every day player. With Payton at left, Manny at DH, and Papi at first I'd be happy but a little worried with the defense. But Papi at defense at 1st is probably equal to Manny at left. So it's like equal there but your also adding a new player in Payton. But then when you do that. Millar, Minky, Mccarty are all just out of the picture and we'll hafta get rid of them. But that sounds like a good idea right now. And we could trade Millar and/or Minky.

 

One thing about my theory is that McCarty would not complain about a bench role. He would know going in that it's his job, and no trouble is caused. He did it in 2004 just fine.

 

Minky/Millar have both told the media that they believe they are everyday players. I say trade them both.

If we trade them both we will be questioned for it so much. Especially if we don't get a new first baseman after doing it. Noone has faith in papi at first but I don't understand it because he is probably equal to Manny defensively at left.

Delgado had 32 HRs and 99 RBIs last year, Ortiz had 41 HRs and 139 RBI's, Manny 43 HRs and 130 RBIs. That would be a NASTY 3-4-5 combination.

Compered to Rolen, Pujols, and Edmonds (122 HRs 358 RBIs) we are just under them with 116 HRs and beat them with 368 RBIs. Plus, Delgado only played 128 games so we'd be the AL Cardinals in terms of offense with better pitching.
