		<description>Changing topics…I think the Brewers picked up the option on Mike Cameron, so Cashman won’t be able to go after him as a CF option.

thank you brew-crew!</description>

		<description>You know you are probably right because between Abreu($15m), Giambi($23m), Mussina($11m), and Pavano($10m)...that is $59m off the books and to sign Manny, Tex, Sabathia...but it might be worth it to sign a couple other players for less and spread it around a little bit.

		<description>Yeah he&#039;s a butcher at first but I really believe teams can afford a bad glove much easier than a bad bat.  I&#039;m sure we&#039;d hear a bunch of Balboni/Kingman references but the difference is Dunn has a great OBP so even with a horrible batting avg you&#039;ve still got a 900+ OPS 1b.

With Abreu and Giambi gone I really don&#039;t seen any reason the team can&#039;t end up with 2 key offensive acquisitions (among Tex, Dunn, Ramirez), sign a stud pitcher and be among the favorites to win it all next year.</description>

		<description>What about bringing in Rocco Baldelli to play part time in CF? He&#039;s probably loyal to the Rays though.</description>

		<description>Dunn is pretty bad at first though isn&#039;t he?  I don&#039;t really want to spend $80-$100 million on someone who could turn into the next Richie Sexson either.  

As a side note, when I went to go look Dunn up on baseball reference, I noticed he has hit exactly 40 HRs for four years straight.</description>

		<description>Looking at those road numbers Adam Dunn is starting to look like a nice fallback to Tex.</description>

		<description>I saw that the Yankees might be interested in trading for Garrett Atkins from Colorado...I&#039;m guessing that they would use him at 1B where he played 60 games and made 6 errors...his career home/road splits are not pretty either:

Home: .337/.394/.527/.921 
Road: .260/.328/.424/.752

I&#039;m guessing most Yankees fans would look at those numbers and pass on him and I&#039;m hoping Cashman doesn&#039;t trade for him unless he gives up nothing.</description>
