For Frenchy and Escobar. We’d probably have to throw in $5 million which is no big deal at the moment. Not that I want Frenchy, it’s a chance to get rid of suck and suck jr. (Although I’m not a big JoGui hater)

I really don’t see this getting done, but if it’s in the rumors, it’s been talked about. If you’re in the Cox house, you’re in big trouble.

his rep as an “excellent” defender doesn’t seemed to have reached UZR, which is clearly biased against the Braves, and doesn’t taken into account how tough fielding is in the NL.

UZR/150

2007: -2.4
2008: 1.4
2009: -10.0

Plus he hits in the NL.

I agree he’s a better hitter than Teahen (although it’s in the NL), and a better overall player, too. I’m sure Dayton thinks he’s one of the best SSes in baseball. And we really need to use brUZR, which is calculated through a complex formula of whether or not Dayton or one of his buddies scouted and signed a player, adjusting for the “difficulty” of the NL, distance in nautical milies of the player’s birthplace from Turner Field, number of opposing players punched in high school, and some other stuff.

Teahen’s looking more like an average player this season, and Teahen-for-Escobar wouldn’t be fair trade. But let’s not go nuts over Yunel. Was this his first year of arb?

Guess what! You can’t take an anecdotal situation and use it to prove that everything is that way.

I mean TPJ hit ok his first year here, does that mean he’ll do it every year? Obviously not. Same goes for Angel Berroa.

Although I think both of us should stay in the NL for the sake of his bat

I hope it happens for the right price, but if I were Frank Wren, I wouldn’t let some near-senile old coot’s hemmoroids problems force me to trade one of my better young players
