I still like Brett G. Love having a guy who can fly and create havoc on the base paths for-how much a year are we paying him? 500K? a steal
the guy hasn’t played a full season yet and he is a homegrown guy. Not every position in the lineup has to produce 20HR”s- just 7 or 8 of them….

Ryan Braun is under contract until 2015. He signed an extension in May.

I like Willingham as well; however, the Nationals are in an organizational position in which they need some cost effective power bats. Willingham is exactly what the Nats are looking for, so unless we look to overpay (IMO, overpay a fair amount), Willingham is probably out of the question.

I really hope the Yanks stay away from both Bay and Holliday, and let them sign elsewhere– particularly Bay, even though I like Bay as a fellow Knuck. The Yanks have enough large contracts on the table and have Jeter approaching his final free agent contract (he will sign with us, obviously). And I truly think neither Bay nor Holliday will play worthy of their contracts.

Byrd is an interesting option…

any interest in Josh Willingham as a LF? It would take a trade obviously, and his fielding while not great is better than Damon. He would give us another right handed power bat as most of our power comes from the left side. I know our park is more conducive to lefties, but it would be nice to have another righty bat with pop. think of him sort of like a Nady type i think.

Agree totally. It’s a complete fallacy. make the best deal you can.

No, you don’t want to help your division rival improve, but who says they’re not going to deal with someone else and improve anyway?

IF Beltran were here, I’d rather see him in RF with Swish in LF. That would be optimum OF D with Gardner/Melky in CF.
However, as Joe said, the cost to trade for him is probably too high. I’d rather Cash sign Marlon Byrd for RF and keep our assets.
