The core deal makes sense and if Sherrill is involved to replace Gagne . . . it is possible that other players are incorporated.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if taking on Hall's or Gagne's deal would bring us back more as it would reduce the Brewers' payroll. I'm not sure if that is a wise move by the Orioles. I guess Gagne would be OK as he is on a one year deal. Hall may make sense if he can still play SS poorly as opposed to horrifically.Jon Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521809778977098687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-79719693004319372852008-06-09T14:56:00.000-04:002008-06-09T14:56:00.000-04:00For what it's worth, I believe LaPorta is in RF ri...For what it's worth, I believe LaPorta is in RF right now. I could see a Braun/Hart/LaPorta OF -- I still agree the core Roberts for Weeks deal makes a lot of sense.Nick J Falerishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413352719310759010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-66676084662411623872008-06-09T14:38:00.000-04:002008-06-09T14:38:00.000-04:00Oh, I'm sorry.

Recent development of others who will be stuck as LF or 1B has created a redundancy of young talent.<BR/>3. Cost involved in this deal is not prohibitive.<BR/>4. Eh, you could trade Fielder for a good bit too.Jon Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521809778977098687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-17733251256581139332008-06-09T14:23:00.000-04:002008-06-09T14:23:00.000-04:00All due respect but why would the Brewers give up ...All due respect but why would the Brewers give up on LaPorta now? The Brewers have not shown themselves to be anything but cost conscious so giving up one of their best hitting prospects seems incosistent with their philosophy.<BR/><BR/>As to where LaPorta would play, that problem will be solved by moving Prince Fielder and his fat behind to another team. Fielder wasn't given a contract the way Braun was and I think that's very telling...MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775103534946881090noreply@blogger.com
