As a hobby to pass time from my day job i like doing this stuff and this is the forum for it so here it goes: COL has Troyboy coming up at SS, too many OFs, and a young catcher or two that they might be willing to part with. MIL has too many prospects to keep all of them on the 40 man roster, a speedy young CF (that COL covets) and young pitching. MIL sends BNelson/Gwynn/Eveland to COL for Barmes/Ianetta The reality is that I think MIL could send a PTBNL for Baker also as he has no place in COL but could be a decent OF/3B and steal at bats from Mench/Koskie. Gwynn is one of many CFs here (move Billy Hall to CF for good and 600abs) and for all the pitching questions it looks like Hendrickson is out after Bray beats him out in the pen, Carlos Villa has the #5 spot and DDavis will return til midseason next year when Yo takes his spot. So what happens to Dillard, Hammond, Eveland, and Parra? They have options but the limitations of the 40 man roster will come up. Trade some... Barmes becomes the SS that plays when Hardy goes out and all around INF when he is healthy and Ianetta take the catching reins for the next 7 years... Everyone has holes to fill...start here...rousieboy
