toss in lane and/or OP and they send us Manny. worst outfield defense ever, but best 3,4,5 in the game probably... if scott can play center, then burke can be substituted for lane/OP or toss him in to to make room for pence... now if scott can just play third, short or catcher...

seriously though, if lidge and just one player can go to boston for a nice prospect, it would be nice if a reliever for a prospect deal turned out so nicely as the last one did with boston... they have any bagwell types that can play third, short, catcher or even second?

if they are going to trade lidge now is the time. we either gamble games on using him to increase his value, or he stinks it up more and we lose more plus all the value already lost. it's probably time for him to check somewhere else out, for both his and the team's good....
