Or does his health keep him at 2b nowadays?? His .360 obp and "Dusty's trust in him" would look good leading off or batting 2nd.

 

SF seems like a real good trading partner, as they need a little bit of everything. If they decide to have a firesale and deal off Alou, Durham, Schmidt, etc., I would love to see the Cubs get in there as a third or fourth partner and help them out. Perhaps SF would like to get Dopriak??

:shock:

 

And, uh, what would you want in return for him. Just wondering.

It would be part of a three way deal where Schmidt goes somewhere. I'm guessing they'll send him to the AL, so someone or someones from either BOS, NY, BALT, or TX. Can't pull a deal off w/ the White Sox.

Not necessarily. What if I told you that the Cubs were eyeing Carl Everett?

 

Well he's better than Patterson, but that's not saying much.

I would hope that you are kidding.

Uh, wow.

 

That coudl turn out to be good, though. We get everett. Wait a week. And then the Sox can trade us their top prospect in return for everett. They've done it twice before.

Maybe we can pick up Robbie Alomar and trade him for Everett. :D

 

Then, when the deadline comes, trade Everett BACK to the White Sox for some one like Gio Gonzalez or Sean Tracey.

 

It's fool-proof I tells ya!

I posted a thread re Durham a bunch of weeks ago. I think he would be a good option if no other reason than he is likely to come cheap, but now that we have fleeced SF once this year, I don't think Sabean will be as quick to take JH's calls.

What if I told you dinosaurs never existed? :P

Durham is still adequate at the plate, but he has lost a few steps and the Giants are not comfortable with him at second base...I don't imagine he could cover much ground in center field either.

 

so...NO.
