I'm fairly sure they'll get a set-up arm as it doesn't look like Meek will be back anytime soon.<br /><br />As for the rest, the prices I've heard are higher than I'd like to see the team pay, same as always at deadline time.<br /><br />Still, they do have an abundance of speedy OF'ers in stock, and a lot of arms drafted out of high school that are still throwing in Class A. Maybe that'll lead to a match.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-89697157216672762762011-07-19T12:29:55.919-04:002011-07-19T12:29:55.919-04:00Methinks Jose Tabata's career has reached an e...Methinks Jose Tabata's career has reached an early crossroads. When I saw him play at Double A Altoona a few years back, I saw a man among boys---which he might have been, if he is actually a few years older than his reputed age of 22 or 23. Still, he was noticeably more athletic than anyone else I saw on the field that day, and I had no doubts he would be a successful big leaguer. <br /><br /><br />However, between his apparently chronic hamstring injuries on one side, and his lack of over the wall power on the other, it would not surprise me to see the team go in another direction, ie, either land Beltran for the stretch run or go "all in" and bring in the established young veteran Hunter Pence in a trade that would include Tabata.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
