Matt Lawton?
Hearing somewhere that Lawton will almost certainly be traded by the Pirates by the trading deadline, I'm wondering why not to us?(well, besides the obvious reasons).
I don't know what his contract looks like, but I know he hits for power, has speed and good defense.
He could be just what we need.
The question is, what do we give up for him? (or Kearns, or whoever). Will BB trade for a proven player to make this year's team better?
Your thoughts, please.

Should of had in in the off season now.....
Now however I really can't see him being an upgrade to our outfield. Kielty is out performing anyones expectations but even when he comes down a bit he should be able to put up Lawton type numbers, 771 OPS. Kotsay clearly will stay above 771 and I think a Byrnes/ Swisher Platoon should top a 771 OPS.
Thus have a hard time giving up anything of value for him. Now if the injury bug continues to bite then he could be a of value but if the bug continues we are not going to contend this year in which case I would be opposed to trading any prospects.
