    Geoff Jenkins

    The Brewers are looking to move Jenkins. He has 1 more year on a big contract. He is servicable as part of a platoon. He can play a decent RF & hits righties well with some power ( he stinks vs lefties ). The Brewers have other younger OFs they want to play.

    If Ohka leaves as a free agent they might bite on a Milton for Jenkins trade.

    Ahhh... good old Franklin KY. Used to be home of the cheapest gas east of the Mississippi. Is it still, Jpup???
    he went to high school at edmonson county with a friend of mine.
    he may have transferred to fshs if he in fact went there.
    i seen him pitch several times this year and always thought he would be a good addition.question is....with a's losing zito and harden's physical problems,dont know if a's would be looking to trade a starter or not.

    What happened to Richard Hidalgo? He didn't play in 2006. I think he is with the Orioles. He was pretty productive in 2005. Does anyone know anything about him?

    Floyd and farnsworth could be nice gambles in my opinion. Phils should be needing a catcher with lieberthal probably leaving. Milton for farnsworth would be a nice deal for us. Farnsworth stuggles with consistency but he throws hard and could potentially close for us.

    Two second basemen I like are Brian Roberts (BAL) and Orlando Hudson (AZ)...but I think they're both arbitration eligible, not free agents.
    Hudson and Phillips. The DP combo of my dreams! Seriously.

    Hudson may have a weak stick, but I think his defense would more than make up with it, especially with him at 2B.

    He also fancies tight pants which could appeal female/alternative lifestyle fan base. Plus Paul Wilson would tell you he would be pretty handy in a fight.

    The Dbacks have Alberto Callaspo to play 2B next year - they can't wait to deal Johnny Estrada & Orlando Hudson out of town.

    And Farnsworth would be an excellent closer for the Reds. Especially since Paul Wilson won't be back next year.

    Not to mention a sport coat with a medallion and no shirt.

    I think Foppert is worth a shot if its free. Is he really available to anyone? Gotta wonder about that.

    Yeah, Foppert was released by Seattle the other day. And fantastic list on your initial post, btw, I agree on all of them, even 'old' Eduardo Perez. He'd be a great platoon partner of Scott Hatteberg at first since I doubt Aurilia will be back. Buys Votto more time, whether all of us thinks he needs it or not.

    Re: Under the Radar

    Carlos Pena and Hee Seop Choi are free agents now. (FYI, so's Corky Miller, while Mike Burns accepted a minor league deal with the Red Sox.)

    Good thought. They may need Blanton. Maybe though they view Harden as Zito's replacement since he's been out most of the year. That may still make a Blanton deal possible.

    Humberto Sanchez (DET - RHSP - somewhat of a mystery, never regarded well, but had good 2006 (great AA, avg AAA), got a lot of pub because he was considered Detroit's expendable trade bait, his value is down now. Not sure the asking price, though.)
    Mark Teahen (KCR - 3B good prospect, had similar season to EE, but with less upside. Will be replaced by Alex Gordon. Would be expensive, but could replace EE if used as trade bait, or could convert to 2B.)
    Ian Kinsler (TEX - 2B - high-touted prospect, had good 2006, stock seems to be a little down and Texas need RP. Not likely to be moved unless Texas gets a 2B replacement.)
    Oliver Perez (LHSP - NYM - will all depend on how he performs in game 4 of NLCS. If he does well Mets likely hang on to him; if not, he can be had dirt cheap.)

    That's all for now - I will post more later.
    I like Rosario and Marcum as gambles. the Jays have a lot of these kinds of pitchers. Somebody is sure to be an odd man out.

    Be nice if the Reds could make a deal to get 2 of these 4 (including the previously mentioned Accardo and League).

    Greinke and Kinsler may be impossible to get.

    Last I heard - Carlos Pena is (rightfully so) going to be trying his best to hit the shuuto in Japan next season.
