honestly he’s like a more healthy, more power crosby w/ a low avg and low obp

…go after either Yunel Escobar or Hardy. Both are “available” although probably more expensive in a trade than Greene. But I honestly view Greene as Jack Wilson (who’s also "available") with more upside and more downside. Both will be adequate at best defensively and both will OPS+ between 75 and 100 (with Greene more likely than Wilson to fall out of that range in either direction).

If we’re gonna fix SS, let’s do it right. (Trade for Brandon Wood!! And if we’re dreaming Wilmer Flores and/or Mike Moustakas would be nice)

  The braves will not put him in a trade for Peavy so don’t even think about him. He would be a great pick up. greene is a slight up grade. Hardy is the best option but what will it take? Street plus who else?

to do a Greene-Crosby “change of scenery” swap. Under no circumstances would I consider giving up a valuable young player.

i was getting worried…its been forst lately and beane busy with soccer, health care, and video games

Oakland Athletics GM Billy Beane often is a stealth figure at these and the winter meetings. He stood with a couple of reporters who expressed amazement at a Beane sighting and replied, "Geez, I feel like J.D. Salinger or something."

Anyway, Beane said everybody else could go with athletic players and manufactured runs.

"I’d like to have nine guys who all hit 30 home runs," he said. "I’d rather have that. It’s still the most efficient way to score runs. Give me two walks and a home run any day."

It is, of course, no wonder Beane pines for offense. His A’s were last in the AL in runs last season and 11th in home runs. And it is why they’ll spend the winter looking for a big bat, from either side.
