But you mentioned Ellsbury + Lester as the centerpiece. I don't want to give up guys like that who can play and contribute on the 25 man roster at real cheap dollars.

You keep and play your top prospects for cost control and then when there is a top free agent availbable on the market you are in a great position to land him.

Are you stupid? Miguel Cabrera is a top five position player RIGHT NOW. He is also arbitration-eligible.

its depressing how the phillies are never in these conversations. if we had a good farm system i'm sure we'd try and land him, but we simply don't (in fact, it sucks)

I don't think Cabrera would be a good fit for Philadelphia. As many have noted, he's munching his way through being an option at third base. And I hear the Phillies have a decent first baseman.

However, he'd be perfect for the Yankees or Red Sox since the Yankees need help at both 3B and 1B, and the Red Sox have one guy who can play either one.

I prefer that the Sox keep and play their top prospects for cost control and use that extra money to buy Free Agents.

because that's worked out so well?

I'm sure the Dodgers will do something stupid to land him.

FJM has a hilarious entry about Steve Phillips's advice to the Dodgers (I think it was a video segment on SportsCenter) on how to get to the World Series next year. He recommended they trade for both Cabrera AND Santana, as well as signing either Andruw Jones or Torii Hunter.

Im having a hard time thinking of a package I would want to trade him for.

I have a feeling this off-season is going to suck.
