I'm ok with Cameron. I just have a problem with our lead off situation. I am not sold on Fukudome or Theriot in the 1 spot. Seems like only a matter of time until Lou tries selling us on the fact that Soriano is the best for that spot in the lineup. Any other ideas???

That is why I am glad you are not the GM, no offense. I don't mind trading prospects, but I want a player who can hit both lefties and righties, and Granderson fits in only with half that scenerio. If Granderson was remotely solid against lefties, that's fine, but he's not as he Aaron Miles against lefties and that to me isn't worth Castro/Vitters or Cashner. I wouldn't be opposed to Vitters and a couple of B prospects for Granderson, but Cashner and Castro imo are off limits unless Verlander or Miguel Cabrera are coming back in the deal. I totally understand your point. I believe you are making more of the lefty righty a silly arguement. In the central how many lefties do we really have to worry about....Cardinals....no.....Brewers.....no.....I think that is a B.S. arguement..If I am not mistaken I also believe in 2008 he hit 270 against lefties. For what we would have to give up for him....would you rather do the trade or sign Byrd? Cause I see 1 or the other happening this offseason. And I would rather trade away a couple prospects than just sign Byrd

If you have to deal prospects away then do it. Castro, Vitters Cashner. Doesn't matter to me if we had to trade a couple of them I don't want another Pie or Hill incident where in a year we do the whole "what if" arguement. If you have a chance to get someone who could make a big difference, which I think Granderson would then do it.

Actually I wouldn't mind the signing if we traded Milton for him and Burrell. Only if we could move Burrell to some other team. I think with him and Baker at 2nd would be better than anything we had last year
