What would it take to get this guy? He is availble - but at what price? This would solve LF, then we could get Ichiro for RF and Aaron Rowand for CF. Cabrera will not be a free agent until after 2009 I believe. That is one hell of an OF and you replace Pods with Ichiro and Dye with Cabrera just at different corners.
Just a dream I know - but Ichiro basically pays for his own salary with all of the merchandise he sells and the fans he brings to the park. You could even put Cabrera at 3B and move Fields to LF.
Plus he is Venezuelan. Get em Oz.
Yeah, then we could trade for Johan Santana. He's Venezuelan too. Work your magic Ozzie.
Yeah, who wouldn't want one of the top hitters in baseball who's only 24? THAT'S why we have no shot to get him.
