Linebrink is a FA, and the Padres are willing to lose him because he will be rated a top tier FA which means 2 1st rd picks. With Alderson and Fuson practically more worried about the minors than the major league team, they won't mind losing him. I can't imagine they'll give him the big bucks he will get on the open market with Bell and Meredith there. Towers has a knack for finding gems for the pen, and they will assume Linebrink is replaceable.

you're an idiot. I will take Vizquel
You're both wrong. Adam Everett is the best defensive shortstop in the game.
