we want get Laroche or Kemp for Wilson. No way in the world that happens. Jack’s a nice player and solid defender but not worth an elite prospect. I would think that the original rumor of McDonald and Hu would be more than we should expect for Jack. If that offer is ever on the table we should jump on it. With the pieces starting to drop Bay’s value continues to increase. I’m interested to find out what teams will offer for him as the deadline approaches. However, the acquisition of all of these potentially major league ready arms tells me that the Bucs are planning a run at .500 next season so I doubt we say Bay traded unless it’s a can’t refuse offer. We’ll see.

I still would have liked to see us pick up Reyes for a friggin relief pitcher. I think he’s going to get his change of scenery and become an effective pitcher again.

I’m a believer in Andy LaRoche.

I don’t truly believe the Dodgers would give us any of the youngsters for Jack, no matter how desperate the “analysts” think they are.

I was just, I don’t know… wishing. Because it’d be cool if it did happen.
I’m not stupid enough to believe it until it actually happens.

LaRoche is almost 25. He’s not going to any more ready next spring.

especially when it doesn’t seem like the Indians gave up much (of course, I don’t know much about the prospect they got).

its a Pirates blog, I know… just yeah.
More of the Yankees buying players.
