Names that have started to pop up are..
1. Ibanez
2. Nady
3. Dunn? (has pop but can't hit with RISP).
Anyone else available????
An interesting name mentioned on the FAN was Matt Holliday. Would the Rockies actually let this guy go??? It wouldn't matter much to us for we have no one in the farm system (except Martinez) that the Rockies would want. |
I liked Ibanez until I saw his age. I like him, but all things equal, I'd give Kenny Lofton a call. He would only cost money.
Matt Holliday? I don't see how the Mets would have the chips to snag him, but I'd try. Even if the numbers come down because of the Coors Factor.. the guy can hit, solid glove, and someone I'd consider an impact player, difference maker in the lineup.
The Pirates probably want a boatload for Nady or Bay (should be on the list as well), and if that is the case, I'd rather give the boatload to the Rox for Holliday.
Dunn? Not a fan. And he's lefty.
