I like Mark Loretta

[Nobody youd want to know]

He'd be nice batting leadoff for the Cubs in 2006: 366 lifetime OBP, and he can play every infield position--sort of the bizarro world Jose Macias And he only makes $2.75 mill.

 

Problem is, his 2006 option vests in ~35 more PAs. How do we get him out of the Padres lineup?[/img]

We don't. He's the last player on the Padres roster they would get rid of, outside of Peavy.

Loretta is one of my favorite guys in baseball. He plays the game right EVERYDAY! In other words, even on a day he goes Ofer, he's still in the right place at the right time to back up a play, moves a runner by going the other way. Team player all the way.

 

Unfortunately, Loretta isn't going anywhere.
