Now he's changed his tune and isn't as keen on the idea because..... Baltimore won't trade Brian Roberts for.. Jeremy Sowers.. and a bag of balls. <BR/><BR/>I like Brian Roberts, he'd be a great addition to this club if we could say... sign him as a free agent or get him at a cheap price. But Baltimore will want a lot for what will be a one year rental.npc29http://www.blogger.com/profile/12330156038101576668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813889787728422694.post-35191963580998946232008-10-12T12:34:00.000-04:002008-10-12T12:34:00.000-04:00Haha! I have been fortunate enough to not be able to watch Drennan's nonsense much since starting my new job. I usually think he is ok, even over the top on things, but he obviously does not keep up on the game of baseball if he thinks that the Orioles would want Shoppach. Wieters will likely be an All-Star catcher his rookie season. <BR/><BR/>At third, I'm all for making a minor move to hold of just long enough until Hodges is ready. I am writing this in my bios for a book I'm working with. <BR/><BR/>Hodges, unless traded (which would be a poor decision in my mind) has to be your next option at 3B. If you move Peralta to third, that is a move made long-term, which blocks Hodges. You trade for a top 3B, you're doing the same (unless he is involved in the deal). <BR/><BR/>Leave the position alone, except for a minor tweaking. Obtaining a mid-level starting pitcher is of much greater importance in my estimation.Michael Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01680399151692601567noreply@blogger.com
