Re:Re:BaltimOrioles Is Huff history?

It isn't always great returns but you never know. Thing is, I can't think of a Mets prospect that would help us.

Subject: Re:BaltimOrioles Is Huff history?

I want to get away from the Orioles tradition of trading decent players for guys who will simply fill out rosters. If we don't get a legitimate prospect of some sort, I say no deal. That said, I'm certainly willing to throw in a Salazar or Montanez along with Huff to make a deal work.

Also need to remember that while the Mets could use a guy like Huff, they still have Delgado for at least another season so they arent going to give up much for Huff to begin with. However considering that it's unlikely that whoever gets him by trade will extend him. I say trade him to a contender and get whatever you can get, even if it's only a couple of AA players, we at least get some compensation and resign Huff in the offseason or see if we can get Salazar, Montanez or Snyder to man down first base.

But I am not expecting a big offer, and I can't really blame them, as he would be a rental. Still, you never know what a team on the cusp of the playoffs will do. Panic mode would be great.

Yeah,I think Huff is as good as gone,maybe to the Ginats who have good pitching but are short on offense.I'm pretty sure he's a type A free agent so the O's...

Great point. I forgot about the draft pick. In that case, Huff's price just went up. Also, I could be wrong, but isn't Branyon having the first good year...

Why would you want Branyon, who at 34 (that I've heard), is suddenly having a career year? You might as well be rooting for the front office to pick up Mora's...
