I hope all the interest DOES drive the price too high. The Pirates need to get as much as they can for whoever they can to finally try to rebuild this club for real. 16th losing season in a row coming up...let me tell you, it suc*s!

I understand, Pens......I'd just like to see this guy in St Louis, but I don't know that he is worth premium prospects.

I don't really know how good the Cards are this year and if it's worth it for them. But the Bucs need a complete overhaul, not just the cosmetic job they've been doing for far too long. Trade Bay, Nady, Wilson and Marte if the price is right. Get some REAL talent in here and start with a strong foundation.

No doubt the Bosox need middle rrelief, but after the Greg Gagne Fiasco last season I suspect they'll build from within.

NO - NO - PLEASE NO !!!!

Marte and Jack Wilson for a Lowrie and a prospect. But the Pirates also have to take Julio Lugo.
