i think shoppach could catch wakefield. i think one game last he might hav caught him.

Angels top 10 prospects TOP TEN PROSPECTS 1. Casey Kotchman, 1b 2. Dallas McPherson, 3b 3. Erick Aybar, ss 4. Jeff Mathis, c 5. Kendry Morales, 1b/of 6. Brandon Wood, ss 7. Ervin Santana, rhp 8. Howie Kendrick, 2b 9. Alberto Callaspo, 2b/ss 10. Steven Shell, rhp

i agree. i think we should get both santana and moss for manny. first year in minors--AVG.-.321 HR-43 in 130 games

the only problem is can shoppach catch wakefield because we know varitek cant

ino, theyd want soriano probaly to, but theyre first offer was mench and a prospect for zito

i like the idea. how many years does loretta have left on his contract. If we could have him for 1-2 years then we could give pedroia a shot. He is not expensive (around 2-3 million i think) and was an allstar 2 years ago.

phillyburbs.com thinks clements a FA

The Rangers have offered kevin mench for Zito.

i think nomars going to get a big contract because of all the teams interested in him. The diamondback want him to play OF, SD wants him to play 2B and the Pirates want him to play 3B.

i would deal for santana and kotchman IF they are willing to make that deal. from LA Daily News

the proposed clement for overbay deal problay wont happen. espn says a front office guy said that "clement isnt dougs (doug melvin GM of the brewers) kind of guy". Maybe arroyo for overbay.

i could see manny for soriano and mench.

the only way an abreu trade with the sox will happen is if there is a third team involved. they are looking at trades for vasquez, bedard, zito, marquis, jason shmidt and chin ming wang.

Boston Herald

the last team i want manny traded to is the angels. whoever we get back from them wont be close to enough to replace manny. they wont trade santana so the most likely deal would be for kotchman, morales and howie kendrick.

I like the wells and mirrabelli for lorreta and otsuka. gives us more bullpen depth and a 2B who was in the allstar game 2 years ago.

that trades a joke. sean henn will be no better than a 4th starter and proctor is a 28 year old relief pitching prospect. Pierre is 27 and is one of the best leadoff hitters in baseball and is a very good defensive CF. He also avgerages 52 SB a year

they are willing to trade abreu and burrell for a SP. There have been talks about Abreu for Bedard and Gibbons. They are also very interested in Javier Vasquez. I think they would make this deal if they also got a RF back (shawn green) and a prospect.

i also think lo duca will be traded probaly to the mets and pierre traded probaly to the cubs OR yankees. LINEUP 1. Hanley Ramirez--SS--R 2. Jeremy Hermida--RF--L 3. Miguel Cabrera--3B--R 4.

the phillies are willing to trade burell and abreu but only if they get a top starting pitcher in return (javier vasquez, who wants to play in the east). Manny and Wells both want to go west and the only teams on the westcoast interested in manny or the d-backs and angels. Manny would take Greens spot in the OF, wells in for vasquez in the the rotation. Vasquez would be a 1 or 2 for the phillies and green would take over in RF for abreu (jason michaels would play LF). Abreu would take over mannys OF spot and Burrell would play first. Fultz would be a nice lefty to have the bullpen since mike meyers is pretty much gone. The money is also pretty much the same for each team. (cash going to arizona since they are taking on the biggest salaries).

I think the only way a Manny trade will happen is if there is a third team. D-Backs--($23,881,820) David Wells ($4,075,000) Manny Ramirez ($19,806,820) Cash Phil--($19,500,000) Javier Vasquez ($11,000,000) Shawn Green ($8,500,000) prospect (Matt Chico, ARZ) Sox--($20,900,000) Bobby Abreu ($13,100,000) Pat Burrell(to play 1st) ($9,000,000) Aaron Fultz ($550,000) prospect (Oscar Villarreal, ARZ)

Jermaine Van Buren by John Hill (the cub reporter) Low-90s fastball, fine slider, side-arm herky-jerky motion, and these minor league numbers… Double-A West Tenn 2004- 53.0 IP 23 H 2 HR 24 BB 64 K 1.87 ERA 21 SV Triple-A Iowa 2004/2005-- 46.2 IP 27 H 6 HR 17 BB 58 K 1.93 ERA 19 SV Pringles Park, the home of the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx, plays very much like the pitcher’s park, and the Southern League as a whole is a pitcher’s best friend too. But Van Buren, a former Rockies top prospect, now 25 and just over a year and a half removed from the Independent Leagues, has taken the same kind of success to Iowa and the Pacific Coast League, which is very much hitter friendly. With our bullpen in Chicago not exactly dependable, what’s not to like? And what’s to lose? The flagrant underemployment of Sergio Mitre, who’s thrown just 3 innings since the All-Star Break? Send him to Iowa, or preferably elsewhere today via trade, anywhere where the innings will come thicker and faster, and give Van Buren the shot that he deserves.

nomar did pretty good in the 60 games he played in last year. He batted .285 with 9 hrs and 30 rbi. If he could play an other full season at fenway, he can still probaly bat around .300 with 20 hrs.
