Hmmmm ok then.

 

So let's toss out some names that could come our way.

 

Willy Aybar

Edwin Jackson

Wade Davis - (B+ spect from Sickels, ready for 2009 possibly, been compared to Gil Meche)

Jeremy Hellickson - (B+ pitching spect from Sickels, good mix of command and stuff)

Jake Jeffries - (Catcher prospect, good contact hitting skills)

Reid Brignac - (SS prospect, bat slipped in 2008 though)

Matt Moore - (LHP spect)

Nick Barnese - (RHP spect)

Could we be looking at Crawford?

Now that's something that hasn't really been thrown up, but is something to consider IMHO;

 

His numbers were really down in 2008 though;

 

06 - .305/.348/.482

07 - .315/.355/.466

08 - .273/.319/.400

 

Post ASB he was .286/.337/.468 though.

I said in September that is who we would go after. I still believe it.

Terrific opportunity to buy low on a leadoff man who could easily get 50 steals, 20 HR's (in the Cell) and a .350 OBP. I'd love the move and would be willing to toss them a Lance Broadway scrap in addition to Dye.

He's going to be 27 this upcoming season, we get a repeat of those 2007 numbers plus the SB's and Quentin/Thome will have a field day with him.

Yeah. They want Jermaine Dye and are dangling Carl Crawford to get him.

 

When, Lord? When will people stop ALWAYS bringing up Carl Crawford!?!??!

For once we agree, Steve.

 

If we are moving Dye, I would think it has to be to a cost-cutting move...

If a Dye deal went down, I just have a gut feeling that Jeff Niemann might be part of the deal.

 

Former 1st round pick... MLB ready... hard curveball that acts like a slider... tall guy who needs a little tweaking on his delivery... looks like he may be falling off the Rays depth chart...

 

Several of the ear marks of a Kenny pick.
