"Allstar 2B?" part II
Okay. So maybe the Barton at 2B thing is a little far fetched. It's still spring and I have yet another proposal to fix the kink we have in this team at 2B.
No disrespect to Kennedy but maybe we can spin him to Colorado or DFA him in hopes someone else will take a shot on him.
To replace him why don't we get Brian Roberts from the O's.
We have plenty of talented OF's that can play defense.
Let Duncan go somewhere he can be more of an asset and play everyday wether it be LF, 1B or DH.
Send him along with Reyes. If they need one or two more minor leaguers just do it as long as they are not asking for prime prospects. Maybe include Hoffpauir since we won't need him if we get Roberts.
Duncan, Reyes, Hoffpauir, B level pitching prospect = Brian Roberts.
Is it worth it?

Was reading MLBTradeRumors....
Freel had problems against lefties last year but he is still an upgrade on who we have.
Giles hasn't hit much since 05 but again he would probably be better than what we have. Giles might actually be pretty cheap to acquire.
I am not advocating acquiring these players but it might be worthwhile to look into it.

Marcus Giles
He had great minor league numbers and his MLB numbers were not bad.
Who knows.

Nope....
His 06 in Atl was not great by any stretch..but it was better than his 07 with San Diego.

The only affordable 2B we could get that would be an upgrade is Belliard.

Freel
He creates 2 more -- he's hurt ALL the time, and he's a pretty poor second baseman by all accounts. I'm really not sure it's worth it -- kinda depends on who we'd have to give up to a division rival.
As far as Roberts goes, I'm not in favor of that deal simply because he's 30, has been rumored to be involved with PED, and he'll be a 32 year old free agent at the end of 2009 at which point we'll have to shell out a ton of coin to keep him, and most 2B similar to him seem to drop off quickly in their mid-30's (Robby Alomar comes to mind).
He would solve the leadoff hitting problem, but trading Duncan, Reyes, and 2 minor leaguers seems like a lot to give up for a guy who's made one All-Star team and hasn't touched the power numbers from that year since. It's not like they're getting a superstar in return -- they're getting a 30 year old second baseman with good speed and some occasional power.

Your probably right...
Wish we had a DH that would be perfect.
