Neal (Joliet, IL): Rickie Weeks has to be better than this right?
Joe Sheehan: I have no idea at this point. What I do know is that he's not a second baseman, so let's take that off of his plate, give him a shot in center field and see if that changes everything. B.J. Upton is the model here.

tommy (brooklyn): Wouldn't you deal Cain for Prince in a heartbeat, given what you said about Giants pitching? Here you have a what, 24-year-old who has slugged 50 homers in a season? That's worth Cain for sure, right?
Joe Sheehan: A bad-body 24-year-old who's had one good year and would be moving to a disastrous park. No, I don't do that if I'm the Giants, especially given I have Sandoval up and Villalona on the way. If they trade a starter, it should be for a comparable CF/RF. The Alex Rios deal rumored last year is the right type, albeit the wrong guy. You want to get...Adam Jones, or Matt Kemp, or Lastings Milledge...someone who will be your best player in two years.

Philip (Madison): Is trading Hardy and committing to Escobar the right move for the Crew? Or a year too early?
Joe Sheehan: I'm higher on Escobar than many, and the Brewers are lousy with guys like Hardy--RH, power, so-so OBP--so I'd make a deal soon.
There's more on Gallardo, Sheets, and Prince. Check it out if you can.

I dont know about the trading Hardy talk. He plays well for a middle infielder in the NL. And he had a great line for the playoffs. Second base, range is hidden, and find a real 3 bagger. Unless they can get Roberts from Bal. Or DeJesus to play the outfield. More important is the pitching in 09.
Why DeJesus? The Brewers have Cameron if they want him next year, why downgrade?
