    Hmmm. I'm not sure. If Zito really was an ace, I'd take it too, but the Giants really need Cain to step up. Lefty hitters have it tough in SF.

      True. I'm not putting my money on Lincecum finishing the 2009 season healthy either. He threw 138 pitches the other night for a Giants team going nowhere. Nice work, SF. I say he throws 89 innings next season before he and his arm call it a year.

  Wow, that's a great trade for the Giants. Problem is, who do they replace Cain with?
  
  They don't have the money for Sabathia and if he leaves that rotation, they lose a formidable 2 hole pitcher behind Lincecum.
  
  They shouldn't have wasted money on Barry Zito and put it towards someone like Soriano...typical Brian Sabaen move. He is the worst GM in baseball, bar none.

  The Giants can replace Cain. Jonathan Sanchez has a lot of talent and Noah Lowry will be back from injury next year. They also have two of the better pitching prospects in the game, Madison Bumgarner and Tim Alderson. This trade makes a lot of sense for the Giants. I am not sure that the Brewers shouldn't be getting another piece of two in this deal, though.

    Fielder is on the verge of making a lot of money. Part of me also wonders whether there was more to that Manny Parra scuffle in the dugout a few weeks back. We'll see.

  I would LOVE to see Fielder over here! Sounds like a pretty lopsided deal to me though. Get rid of Cain!

  I doubt that Melvin would deal both for just Cain...he already has a bunch of young pitchers and can't afford to lose both his 1B and SS for the entire season. I could see him pulling this deal in June or July if the Brewers are already way back in the race--that way he could promote Mat Gamel and Alcides Escobar from AAA and avoid them becoming Super 2's.
  I think Melvin wants to move Hall and/or Weeks more--Hardy could move to either second or third to make room for Escobar; Fielder and Hall would be much more likely...even then, I think the Brewers would want a prospect thrown in.

  Here we go again .A player whose agent is Scott Boras is going to disturb the team chemistry again. Players that stay yosether win together. I miss the days where you could name the starting players on most teams. I like free agency but the price seems to be agents/playerswith no team loyalty destroying the game. There should be some compromise between the owners and players to preserve the team concept to not make sports look like Wall Street. Is it a game or just business ?
