Gives them depth in the OF.

[General]

Decent trade, not much but something nonetheless.

Marrero seems to be a good fielder, but I think we could have gotten a better hitter, say Minnie Mendoza?? Matos coming off the DL this week, looks like Newhan is going to triple A Ottawa becasue he still has 2 options on his contract, and now the O's have joined a few other teams in inquiring about Preston WIlson of the Rockies, who happens to be in town tonight and the weekend, perhaps an audition.

[General]

You guys have waaay too many good OFs.

[voodoomon1jd]

That's a good thing. So how are things going with Kolb down in Hotlanta, rumor mill has the Braves ready to deal for Lidge before the break.

[General]

Yeah, and what are we gonna give? Kolb has always sucked for us, since ST.

[voodoomon1jd]

Good question?

Why would Houston even deal Lidge? Lidge is a core player that the Astros can build around. That does not make sense. I can understand dealing Clemens, but Brad Lidge. This guy is a cornerstone for years to come.

[Kingdom]

Don't forget the fact that Marrero is also a catcher and 1B.

I think the catcher portion made it very appealing for the O's

I agree, stranger things have happened in this crazy game.

Let's hope we never have to see that.
