It’s the email section! 

Once again one of the emailers has a trade proposal and sometimes these trade proposals actually have some merit to them. This one particularly is so one sided that I’m wondering how this part guy figures that this is going to happen. White sox trade Dye and Jenks to the Rays, in return he wants Tampa to send them, bear in mind Dye makes a lot, Jenks is the #1 closer leaving the Sox without one, wants in return to get BJ Upton and James Shields, the #1 starting pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. Andrew Friedman is a young General Manager in just his third year of this particular job but they don’t wanna see him hanging out of Tropicana field which he would be if he made that. That one probably won’t happen.

Our next emailer wants to know do I see the sox making moves for the infield. Sox wanna find out what they have in the infield before the free up room because Gordon B. Aas to who is going to play where. The one advantage of that, Alexei is flexible where you wanna play him. You need to see who is going to be where and who is going to fill spots if you do have spots to fill. If they do have a couple of different things, its young surplus in the infield and I stress young and that doesn’t necessarily mean tradable, it just means young.

Tim who's been one of our constant emailers will find that in the body of work I talk all about the Jake Peavy deal and how I think it's going to come down.

Another one of them wanted to know what ball park in the majors needs the most improvement. Quite obviously some big improvements into Wrigley when this team is sold or when the ball park is sold. But they're gonna have to bring this ballpark up a little in the century as far as creature comforts are concerned and I’m sure anyone looking at it from an ownership standpoint, when you do make these improvements, it's going to take a while and what you wanna put. Very few really get major overhauls, they usually get brand new ballparks with both NY teams getting new ones this coming year, Minnesota getting a new one in 2010, the Cards opening their new park and the question remains, will the Florida Marlins get one? Should the Oakland athletics get a new one? Does Tampa believe they need a new one. I believe Tampa does but let the citizens argue about that.

Our next emailer proposed a Fukudome trade for Peavy if the Cubs absorbed much of the salary. They are going to have to absorb a lot of his salary and he will be a better fit for the San Diego ball park couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s a right hand power hitter’s dream, and last I looked, he wasn’t’ a right handed power hitter. So although anything is possible. I don’t think the Cubs will use him in the deal as I think the padres will be looking for younger players, low salary players and doesn’t make sense from the Padres for Fukudome however that means the Cubs won’t be trading him.
