Of those mentioned in the link, I'd take Corey Hart. My dream though is if Philly doesn't re sign Werth, the Braves grab him. If we could get Hart this yr and Werth this offseason, imagine a 2011 outfield of Hart/LF, Werth/CF, Heyward/RF .

I would also like the new manager to run a lot more. Just look at what Philly and Tampa does with runners on. If we got Werth and Hart, could have at least 4-5 players to run with, Werth Heyward Hart Prado and maybe Yunel.

Hart or Willingham would be a great addition.

The Giants are also looking at acquiring Corey Hart. I'd really like to add Hart. Wonder what Brewers are looking for in return and if we can make them a good offer.

I really hope that we don't add Hart. I am a Braves fan in the Milwaukee area and really do not like Corey Hart as a player. I think his production has been completely flukey and really think of him as a Jeff Francouer like player (ie inconsistent and can go through extremely long slumps). Maybe he'll be able to stay hot and help the Braves, but I wouldn't be willing to mortgage our minor league talent (considering it would take Minor) to get this done. The Brewers are not going to be looking at Vizcaino or any of our A-level pitching right now, they want to get in the best position to make a run next season.

That being said, if I'm Frank Wren, I wouldn't be pressing too hard for OF help unless he could get it on the cheap. Once Heyward comes back, the OF will be a lot better. Diaz crushes left-handed pitching, Melky has been a very solid spot-starter, and maybe that concussion knocked some sense into McLouth and he'll come back to pre-Braves form. Worst case scenario, start our All-Star Infante in the OF more regularly.

Jesus god I don't want to give up Minor for Hart.

If we trade for someone I hope it's in CF. Our Hinkse/Diaz platoon in LF is more than capable.

Call me crazy but how about a trade that wouldn't cost us much, trading for Andruw Jones ? I know it sounds crazy but he has 12 hrs 29 rbi . He has 8 steals in 10 attempts. Has 6 dbls, 31 BBs 47 K's in 186 at bats. Braves looking for a right handed bat. Heyward coming back, with Diaz back can have lefty/right platoon with Hinske in LF.

Think Andruw can have a good second half ? Maybe coming back to ATL would motivate him.

When he was in Texas hit 17 hrs 43 rbi in 82 games. He still has some power.

I know those aren't great stats, but could he be worse than Melky/McClouth ?

While I'm sure this could be a consideration, I don't see the first place in the AL Central White Sox selling Andruw Jones unless they can pick up another OF first.
