With B-Mac pitching the way he is, why don't we trade Garland and Crede, or Contreras and Crede for a decent 3B?

We finally have 6 guys that can start. Why would we want to trade Garland now? If El Duque or someone else in the rotation gets injured, we can just throw B-Mac in there. We need to trade Willie and/or Borchard for a 3rd baseman.

would we be able to even get anything for contreras?

Yes, laughs.

We're not going to trade a relatively cheap starter who gives you 200 IP (Garland) for a 3B when we used our first rounder last season on Josh Fields.

 

If anything, if Crede struggles, you'll see Valdez/Uribe play 3B from time to time in place of Crede until they feel Fields deserves a shot.

 

I for one don't mind having Crede hit 8th/9th, as long as his glove is solid, I think he can hit .255/.260 with decent power (20 HR) and decent run production (60-70 RBI).

 

For a 8th/9th hitter, that is fine with me.

Crede IS a decent 3B.

 

Plays good defense, hits 20 bombs, from the 8-9 spot that's very decent.

Not to mention he is cheap and fits our payroll

In the world of cyberspace, there is always the backspace option.

 

Why not in professional baseball?

Trade Borchard and Willie to the Pirates for Rob Mackowiak and a prospect.

Who would want those two and give us a prospect and a decent 3 bagger??? Talk about wishful thinking...

Why do you say that? Mackowiak isn't a stud or anything and the Pirates need a power-hitting outfielder. They could be the team that would take a flier on Borchard. Borchard and Willie for Mackowiak is not an unreasonable trade.

Just a hunch, the phone isn't ringing off the hook with teams inquiring about Borchard as their power hitting OFer.
