Patterson offered for Wilkerson

[nilodnayr]

If Hendry is really truly interested in Wilk, then he really mihgt be interested in Dunn. I know the "I wouldnt trade Hill for Dunn straight up" comment made me think he wasnt a fan of Dunn, but maybe it just reflects his love of Hill. If we could get Wilk and Dunn we would have turned around our OBP issues in a big way.

 

What about Walker, Mitre, Pinto for Dunn and Cedeno for Wilk and Spivey? Cinci gets the second baseman they need as well as a sinkerballer they need in that park and a high level pitching prospect. The Nats clear about 7M, coincidentally the same amount Loaiza is asking for, as well as solve their only position hole with good, cheap production. Hendry signs furcal and our lineup looks pretty good

 

Furcal

Wilk

Lee

Dunn

ARam

Murton

Spivey

Barrett

 

Talk about a lineup where EVERY player can OBP over 350

Surely you don't think Jim Bowden would give us TWO of his starters for one minor leaguer??

 

Spivey isnt a starter, he was brought in to fill in for Vidro when he went down. Cedeno did play in 41 games last year and hit 300. I don't think anyone considers him a minor leaguer anymore. Here, or elsewhere, he will be on the ML club. If you look at the Nationals their missing piece in the field is shortstop, their surplus is OF/1B and second base. Its a classic case of trading what I have too much of for what you have too much of as well as a salary dump.

pierre

walker

lee

wilkerson or floyd

cedeno

barrett

 

sounds good to me.

I like the fact that he's pursuing Wilkerson at least. Of course, Patterson for Wilkerson won't happen, but maybe something will get worked out. If we trade for Wilkerson and Dunn, I'm going to need a new pair of pants.

 

Agreed. Its a starting point. You never know.

Gammons also noted that Bill James has predicted the following for Murton, Pie and Cedeno in 2006, with a little note for Cubs fans:

 

James projects:...Cubs CF Felix Pie to hit 21 HR and an .874 OPS; Mets 2B Anderson Hernandez .295 with a .336 OBP; Chris Ddenorfia .308; Cubs INF Ronnie Cedeno .310 with an .800 OPS; Murton .318 with an .859 OPS...

 

Cubs fans, take note of Murton, Pie and Cedeno.

 

Hmmmmmm....

Could we FINALLY be producing some decent position players from OUR farm? We'll see...

Gammons was on the Dan Patrick show today and he again mentioned Corey for Wilkerson. He said the Patterson for Wilkerson trade was floated out there, and then changed subjects. Dan Patrick didn't ask a followup.
