Aubrey Huff to replace Corey Hart


I came across this from the MLB trade rumors site that we all frequent. It says they'd deal Huff for a mid-tier prospect. If true, I'd jump all over that and try and coax Atlanta into taking Hart and ??? for Vazquez. Here is the link. http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/article/2009-07-15/holliday-washburn-top-deadline-wish-lists

Huff hasn't played in the OF since 2006.

 

The reason he would only require a borderline prospect is because a 1B who has a .751 OPS isn't very valuable.

 

If I was convinced he could play RF well enough, it would seem reasonable. I would imagine Gamel would be a better RF without ever having played the position.

I don't see Huff as an upgrade over Hart, as his defense would be weak at best, horrible at worst.

 

But the point is that you'd be free to trade Hart for pitching upgrades, as mentioned in the first post of the thread.

I liked the idea but I don't believe a deal can be made.

 

Huff is owed 8M this year and his contract is up as well. So, if we trade for Huff then what do we do in 2010? Try and re-sign him or let him go and replace with another RF? Huff is also 32 yrs old versus Corey who is 27.

 

Plus, we would have to make sure that Atlanta would take Hart for Vazquez which I don't know if him alone will net Javier. Then you have to think about the Braves and what they will do. They just netted Ryan Church in a deal so he can play RF. Would they keep Church or try and trade him (which no one would want him to begin with).

 

A lot of things to consider for this deal to be made.
