MLBTR ran an article the other day about how Chicago may opt to sell high on LaHair. Rizzo is tearing it up in Triple-A again and Soriano and DeJesus don't appear to have much pull on the trade market.
He'll fall back from how he's been performing lately, but he's a power hitting lefty capable of manning LF. Isn't that what we've all been clamoring for? It wouldn't solve the cleanup spot issue because we all know Dusty would never allow a left handed logjam in the middle of the order, but he would be a very nice complement to Stubbs as far as pitcher matchups are concerned, and it would solve the Willie "I'm only on this team because I happen to hit from this side of the plate" Harris issue. It'd take a couple of good prospects to pry him away, and I know it's not realistic/a good fit considering the existence of Ludwick and Heisey, but thought it would be fun to mull over.
