Around SBN: MLB Trade Deadline: Where each team stands right now

Left Fielder anyone?

I believe a great free agent out there for the Reds is Pat Burrell.the guy has the total package of numbers.a above average fielder and a above average hitter.and we could get him for a long term of a great deal no one is calling him.he's a gut of 30 homers and alot fewer strike outs than Dunn.he's right handed.puts up 100 rbi's on base of .370 he"s going to fit in to the new Reds.you could call me crazy ,but we need a bigger splash at free agency than tavarez.sorry ,but yes he can get on and urrell gets him in,talk to me tell me i am wrong.

Big Deal

Is that you?

Alright Crazy

Burrell is a below average fielder. He isn’t a guy with a lot fewer strikeouts than Dunn. Over 100 PA the difference last year was 2 strikeouts between Dunn and Burrell. I think the Reds could use a guy like Burrell in their lineup, I just don’t think I want to meet what he is likely demanding. If he can sign a 2 year deal, I am jumping on that ship. If he wants more than that, I just can’t get behind it. I don’t like the idea of buying in long term to guys who can’t field unless their bat is very special (talking top 10 in the game special).

Where do you stand on Bonds?

Seriously, he can’t field for shit but he’d be an incredible force in the middle of the lineup if (BIG DAMNED IF) he’s healthy and on his game.

even as an awful fielder

Bonds is the greatest hitter in the last 70 years. i wouldnt care if he played LF in a lawn chair.

even so, he’s left-handed. no way Jose.

I've been saying that we'd sign Pat Burrell all along

But now I want it to happen so we can have a season (though it would probably end up being four) of these jokes.

I happen to think it's NEILYNG.

Hey Dusty...Are you sure you're OK? You might need an MRI.

by Paul Householder on Jan 4, 2009 5:24 PM EST up reply actions

We’’re in process of trying to a guy with a trade record of working with pitches
