Proposal: Fielder/Hall to Texas for Blalock, Davis, Salty and pitcher

I still want no part in Salty until I hear he's changed as a person. His teammates telling him that they wanted no part of him in the AFL really soured me on the guy.

Overall the return value seems a tad light but I'd consider the deal because of defense. Young & Blalock both have decent numbers which would address two of our worst defensive areas (1st & 3rd) last year. Salty looks like a backup until he can pick up his numbers throwing out baserunners. I'd like to see some pitching in return but better defense could accomplish the same thing.

I am not sure where to put this - so I will just throw it in one of the "Trade Prince" threads...

 

I found it very interesting that my season ticket renewal package had Yovani Gallardo on the cover, J.J. Hardy on the inside, and Ryan Braun on the inside flap several times. There wasn't a picture of Prince anywhere.

 

I'd say it is safe to say the Brewers no longer consider Prince to be the face of the franchise and the Brewers are shopping him. (I was really surprised that Yovani had such a prominent position)

Not sure why we need Salty when we have Salome, Lucroy, and Fryer coming up in the next 2-3 years, and Lawrie and Zarraga potentially in the next 4-5.

In this scenario (which enough people have shot down that I know was a bad idea), Salty would be our catcher next year and our backup 1b, should we not be able to find one. as I said in the OP Blalock to 3b this year, Davis is a 1b/3b and Salty is a C/1b. Gives us lots of flexibility should someone get injured or a catcher getting hurt or not panning out, which has been known to happen. Neither Salome or Lucroy are beating down the door and I dont expect either to contribute in 2009, and 2010 is too far away to pencil them in as starters.
