Are the pundits kidding?

WildBill · Jun 22, 2005

I read somewhere Mark Kotsay is the player most in demand as the trade deadline starts hitting radar screens. Are they kidding? This guy has made a nice career and living out of being a ho hum outfielder. If he is the key to the Yanks turning it around, boy the Yanks are in far bigger trouble than I thought.

Man Wild Bill...you read my mind. I just read the article on ESPN as well. WHAT A JOKE!

Where is Winky Duck? I believe he is a Fullerton fan. Even he would have to admit this guy is nothing more than an average (AT BEST) outfielder. I can't believe he is being hyped as the hottest thing out there as far as trade talks.

Matt Lawton Has Goto Been In Demamd.... But I Wish Pirates Would Keep Him!!!

What about Sweeney from KC? He's more valuable than Kotsay IMO.

Sweeney's contract sucks which is why teams aren't falling all over themsleves to pick him up. Kotsay is a pretty good player a poor man's J. Damon if you will plus his contract is alot easier to handle.

Any chance the Rockies would deal Helton?

dmmd98 · Jun 22, 2005

The Rockies would listen but Helton is still in the middle of a 10 year 150 million dollat deal plus he is coming close to being a 10-5 guy so unless a team like Baltimore step up to the plate I don't see the Rockies moving him.

Just my opinion
