May 7, 200620 yr Besides the obvious guys like Young and Milledge how about some other names? Elliot Johnson (D-Rays are set at 2nd base) Josh Anderson (Doubtful he will be in the Astros picture anytime soon)
May 7, 200620 yr Could give Walter Young a try at 1B... he was released by the Padres a couple weeks ago because they were already starting Adrian Gonzalez at first in the majors and Paul McAnulty at first in AAA, plus they had Ryan Klesko on the DL... so no spot for Walter. He started the year in a slump but was snapping out of it before he got released; he hit two home runs in his last game with the AAA Portland Beavers. He's 26 years old, 6-5 and 305-322 lbs; and he hits very impressive home runs (he has been compared to Cecil Fielder in that way). How about Felix Pie for CF? Josh Anderson has a teammate in Corpus Christi, Hunter Pence, who's doing a great job there (.345 BA, 1.032 OPS, 6 HR, 24 RBI). Both Anderson and Pence are 23.
May 8, 200620 yr ya! let's get felix pie! i'd love to have him..but doubt the cubs will trade him. we tried to get him in the JP deal..didn't work out. others that look interesting are: Jacob Ellsbury, CF, red sox org.

Maybin and maybe Pawalek are untouchable
May 8, 200620 yr All of those players just listed aren't going anywhere. Especially since 5 of the 6 you listed were just drafted less than a year ago. The Marlins need to deal some of their pitching prospects for bats. Our organization is almost completely devoid of hitters these days. The last hitting prospects are now starting for us (Willingham, Hermida). Since this ownership took over, all of our drafts have been focused on pitching. Last year, I believe 10 of our first 11 picks were pitchers. That includes the first 5 picks.
May 9, 200620 yr ya! let's get felix pie! If that was going to happen, we'd already have him and no Nolasco/Pinto. The cubs are doing the right thing and going to force him to remain in the minors until he learns passable plate discipline. They learned to do the right thing from rushing Corey Patterson.
