The Orioles are going to be thrilled to hear this.

Oh my God. Another absolute coup for Florida.

It'll be interesting to see Dontrelle in the AL.

If the Brewers get Rolen where does Braun move to?

"...some people in the organization want to see GM Jim Hendry pursue a trade for the Angels' Chone Figgins, a switch-hitter. But the Cubs probably don't have what it takes to land Figgins. The Angels value Figgins so highly, one person with ties to the Los Angeles organization said the team might ask the Cubs for third baseman Aramis Ramirez in return."

LOL, I'm starting to see why the Angels don't pull off many trades.

id guess left field, it'd be the best place to mask his defensive deficiencies

This has been the most insane offseason/winter meetings so far in terms of teams trading/shopping young talent. Crazy.

As studcrackers said left field. We declined Jenkins' option and Mench isn't an everyday player and will probably just be non-tendered. Rolen would improve the team by leaps and bounds but not what the Cardinals are asking for him. They wanted Capuano, Hall or a top prospect and the Brewers to pay his entire salary. :rofl:
