Jay's a credible CFer during the regular season. It isn't until the post-season that he becomes a worthless, sniveling bitch.

I'm not really sure he's a cf'er either. If ellsburry wasn't his age, and cost as much, I'd be somewhat interested in him in cf. |

There is never a peep from anyone about the Braves looking to move him or a team looking to acquire him. I do think he'd be a great option at a reasonable cost, but there's no smoke. There's not even any kindling.

Castro would probably be the cheapest with th highest upside.
I'm a bit terrified they end up paying Drew. |

I doubt they sign Drew, but even if they do, it's a significant upgrade for a team that is ready to win right now.

If "Beltran out" doesn't make sense to you, then the team absolutely needs to move Adams. There's no place for him to play if you're not going to get Craig off 1b and Adams just hit 17 bombs in half a season. His value's unlikely to ever get higher. If "Adams out" doesn't make sense to you, then Beltran has to go. I've stated my preference: bank the 1st rounder, save the $14 million, let Beltran walk and get a lefty slugger into the lineup. Craig can play 1b against lefties to rest his legs and we'll find a RH-hitting OFer like we should've done last year when Moe's dumb-ass went after Wigginton instead of Hairston.

I agree.
I want no part of Castro.

So you'd rather pay the same amount in $$, lose a first round pick and get an older player for 2 fewer years? Because that's exactly what you're talking about.
I'd rather roll with Kozma next year than pay $50 million for Drew and surrender a draft pick. Drew's overrated as hell - he always has been. He has no clue against LH pitching and he's a Fenway creation that put up an OPS of .687 away from home with an OBP less than .300. Could you do worse than Drew? I guess. But could you do worse than Drew at $12 million/year during his decline years while also surrendering a first round pick? Honestly, you'd have to try pretty damn hard to manage it. I'd take Peralta 100 times out of 100 over Drew.
