No, I was thinking Vidro at 2B in Chicago.

 

NO, NO, NO.

 

If Walker gets dealt for Bradley who would you rather see at 2B? Neifi or Vidro?

 

I'm thinking Bowden would be dumb enough to take Patterson for Vidro btw.

1) I would rather have Neifi and 2) We would be dumb to give up Patterson for Vidro.

 

Vidro has a serious knee injury that may cause him to never produce again, if he is even able to play again.

I think you are going way overboard here.

 

Vidro is an enormous risk, but at least he brings along with him the chance for very good production. With Neifi you are guaranteed crap. And Neifi would always be the fallback if Vidro did indeed fail. Trading Corey for him would be a risk, but nothing close to a guaranteed failure or dumb. I would rather take the chance of getting something out there than guarantee absolute failure, which is what Neifi does.

If Vidro cannot play, which many close to him are sure of, Neifi becomes a much better option. That's not going overboard, that's being realistic. Neifi at 2B is better than playing with 8.

And if you get Vidro, Neifi is still the fallback. I can't understand why you would want to guarantee failure instead of taking a chance for success with failure still as the fallback option.

Because, as JeffH just said, Vidro is owed $23 million dollars. Lot of money to pay a guy to never play again.

 

Sorry, pass, we can do better than Vidro. How about NOT trading Todd Walker?

But if Hendry is heckbent on trading Walker Vidro would be a decent choice if:

 

-Vidro is healthy

-The Nats picked up some cash

No one knows whether he's healthy or not. Vidro himself has signed up for the baseball world cup, so apparently he thinks he'll be healthy by the spring.

 

I say try to trade for him. He'll have to have a physical before the deal is accepted. Check him out in that physical to really find out the status of his knee.

 

Jerome Williams for Vidro should be enough. Nats need starting pitching.

If he's healthy, I'm fine with his contact. A little under 8 mil a year is fine for his production (if healthy).

Will MLB ownership do that? I doubt it.

What a novel concept. Maybe we should explore that one...

You know the old saying about trades: One side has to agree not to trade someone before that player is not traded.
