Unloading a Shortstop?

Just noticed in the wiretap that the Angels are looking to pick up a SS to replace the injured Eric Aybar.

Five days before Monday's trade deadline, the Angels continue to pursue a veteran shortstop as insurance in case Erick Aybar is injured.

The team has targeted three Toronto players, slick-fielding John McDonald, former Angel David Eckstein and Marco Scutaro, as well as Baltimore's Juan Castro and Cleveland's Jamey Carroll.

Would be good to ship one of the guys out and get a young player in return.

Eckstein seems the logical choice from the Jays point,,J Mac is to strong of a def short stop,,and Scoturo is to valuble with the versatility,,Eckstein is on his way out anyways

Please unload Eickstein. He hasn't done anything for us this year. I'll take a bag of baseballs for him right now.

Keep J Mac and Scoootaroo for this year, and sign someone next year.

Yeah I'd say Eckstein's the obvious choice. I bet the Angels prefer him over the rest as well.
