The Angels have offered Kendrick, Mathis and one (but not both) of Adenhart/Santana. Would the Ranger's be willing to part with Kinsler, Laird & Hurley (or Volquez)? Some reports say Florida wants to add a lower level pitching prospect (Gallaraga/Pimental?).

I think I'd do that deal, as much as I'd hate to lose Kinsler. Kinsler=>Kendrick, Laird=Mathis although Hurley/Volq probably <Andenhart/Santana.<p> At the very least we could BoSox the Angels and drive the price up on a division rival....any interest?

By all accounts JD is still set on doing something about CF....what are the pros/cons on the available options?

Rowand? Looking for at least 5/$75M, that's the biggest negative.....
AJones? Down year...weight issues...could he be had for 4/$60M?....
Cameron? What would he cost? 25 game suspension starting '08 season.....
Crisp? Boston's crazy 3 prospect asking price...3 years for $18.5M (buyout of $500K in 2010)....
Patterson? Maybe 2 years $7-8M...is he really that far behind Crisp?....

Lastly, a trade for young guy's (Mets/DBacks?).

What's realistic? Will we still need another bat?

I heard they might cancel it, but thought they had a few more episodes left. I really liked that show. Guess the snappy repartee was too much for the average Geico user to follow.......too bad!

Just wondering......the last few days someone threw out a Westbrook/Casey Blake for Aki/Wilk (maybe throw in Bauer and/or a prospect)......or a possible deal with the Phillies, Burrell/Leiber for Aki/Wilk/Bauer and/or a prospect. Burrell is slated for $13M this year and $14M next, Leiber $7.5M (but only 1 year), that deal would save the Phil's $12.5M this year and get them out from under Burrell's $14M next year. They're looking for someone to set-up Gordon and want to shed money, so????

I thought his new training regimen sounded good.....at least he'll be in damn good shape if we do end up getting him.
