D-backs shopping outfielders

The D Backs have an overabundance of outfielders and the Rays have an overabundance of pitching.

Have to believe the Red Sox are on their call list.

You have to think that the Rays phone will be ringing all winter long. Just about every team needs starting pitching.

I think the DBacks need to trade for prospects instead of establish players because they are light years away from catching up with LA and SF.

LA? The Dodgers are a mess with a bloated underperforming payroll

Light years away from LA and SF? They won the division just last year!

Tigers will be happy to take one of them.

if the d'backs have so much OF'S why they did sign jason kubel anyways?? i don't think you should sign too many position players for the same spot, rather the franchise should sign players WHO could have the versatility and flexinility in playing multiple positions(example)

the red sox would be in the hunt for starter pitchers, and rays and the braves have enough pitching availability/ lets not forget the rangers WHO have deep reliable starters as well, a word has been spread the rangers are willing to trade top pitching for a good OF from boston,,ELLBURY??

And they were in the wild card hunt this year, just couldn't quite close the gap. Bringing balance to the team and clearning room for some of the young players is a good idea.

Kubel is 30, hit 30 HR's last year, and is a bad defensive outfielder. Parra is 25 and a very good defensive outfielder, has a slightly better OBP, but doesn't have the power. It probably makes sense to trade Kubel--an AL team needing a DH might pay something for him

Young, who is 29, an excellent defender with speed and power (but without a decent OBP) might bring a better return from the right team.

Ells for a front line pitcher would be a good trade, since resigning Ells next year at this time will be expensive.

The only way the Red Sox get a starter back for Ellsbury is if that player is in the same contractual situation.

Kubel should be in the AL and DH'ing.
