Supposedly they like Nate McLouth a lot. That's nice. Any discussion about him would have to begin with Phillip Hughes and a top position player prospect. Again, that's where it would START. <BR/><BR/>I understand the temptation to blow everything completely to smithereens. But not even the Florida Marlins traded EVERY good player they had during their two big fire sales. Especially good YOUNG players like McLouth. Even if we just saw Nate's career year---and that remains to be seen in my book---to me, we have a small but very good core that could serve as the foundation for the next contender in Pittsburgh. That core consists of McLouth, Doumit, Brandon Moss (if he can make a full recovery), Andrew McCutchen, Jose Tabata, Matt Capps (though he'll be getting expensive soon), and at least 2 or 3 of the young starting pitchers. Robinzon Diaz would figure to help, too, though probably not as a full time starter as long as Doumit stays on the field. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's roughly half a roster, and you need more than that to get it done. If the front office wants to deal Freddy Sanchez, Jack Wilson, Adam LaRoche, Ian Snell, Tom Gorzellany, and various relievers, be my guest. But let's not get silly here.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-14998099534923447482008-10-03T23:30:00.000-04:002008-10-03T23:30:00.000-04:00Thanks for the link, Deaner.

I want nothing of that wearing the black & gold.<BR/><BR/>Here are some links to stories from one of my blog posts back in mid-September on Cano. http://blue-collarbaseball.blogspot.com/2008/09/bcb-links-your-job-is-to-play-hard.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
