yes lowell is a big improvement to rolen and you have pitching to spare.
Reply:yeah for sure, lowell is doing so much better than rolen and your pitching is really good and you wouldnt suffer if you got rid of kelvim
Reply:I would probaly rather have Rolen for the rest of this year.





I say no deal, but drop Millwood from this staff. What could he possibly add?
Reply:No, Escobar will continue is stellar start as long as he is healthy so trading him for a middle of the pack 3rd baseman whose second half won't match his first is not worth it. If your looking to trade your pitching for hitting look to deal Hudson for somebody like a G. Atkins who some people may have given up on although he has already begun to turn the season around it might be too late.
Reply:If it's a 14-team league, then I would definitely pull the trigger. Your staff would be incredibly solid in a 10 or 12 man league and that is without Escobar. Scott Rolen is no longer the answer at third.





Lowell's first half is very impressive when you take into account the fact that Manny and Ortiz both struggled (in a relative sense). He should continue to see good pitches when those guys start to hit a lot of homers again.
Reply:no deal
