Trade Deadline, Possible Upgrades

With the deadline about 3 1/2 weeks away, this Pirates Team will certainly be buyers, Here are a few guys that could be had: Morneau- Do you want the platoon of Mcgahee/Jones broke up, I think not Yunel Escobar- Upgrade at shortstop a must Marco Scutaro- Average player but an upgrade Josh Willingham- Power hitting outfielder that would be ok in right field Matt Laporta--- Has power, hits about .260, Decent upgrade over Tabata Brian Lahair---- Power Hitting 1B, not much Defense in outfield Shane Victorino---Top of the lineup guy, could be better than Presley down the stretch trade bait- Presley Tabata Hernandez Correia Lincoln Marte- I know, but if you want a big name he will have to be involved Locke, Owens, Wilson Meek Hague Juan Cruz I would assume, the Bucs are going to look for an outfielder and a Shortstop Starting Pitchers will command a high price and with the talent we have in the minors there will be no point in giving up anything for that.
