The Mets dont need Contreras, hes not very good. The Marlins are still asking for a kings ransom for Willis. Apparently they dont realize hes not very good anymore.

It sounds like the Tribe is about to announce a trade. My Sirius radio is cutting out, but Rizzo (ESPN Radio) just announced that Shapiro has scheduled a press conference for this afternoon to announce a "pretty significant" deal.

I'm expecting it to be Dotel for Francisco, which is fine with me. It's a good time to sell high on Ben, who is nothing more than a fourth OF.

Okay, Cleveland radio says there *is* a completed deal...press conference in four hours, but I'm sure we'll hear something before then. There isn't any info on the deal, but they used the word "significant" at least twice to describe the trade.

Shapiro is my hero.

This brings up an interesting debate topic. Don't you think it's time we did away with the signing team giving away a draft pick?

I thought that already happened, starting this year.

Dayton Moore will do better than Francisco for Dotel, especially with the bounty San Diego received for Linebrink. I don't think a team will overpay that much for him, but Francisco doesn't fit the bill.

Mets should go for Dontrelle Willis or Jose Contreras before the trade dealine. They should be able to either of them for a relatively cheap price.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure that Contreras would be that much of an improvement over what the Mets already have at #5. Particularly if Pedro is a month or whatever away.

isn't Javier Vazquez available?

Definitely. Moore wanted Gutierrez, which Shapiro obviously lol'd at.
