    Hey - maybe we can get Piazza though we'd definately have to keep Brad around for Roger if he were to return.

    The problem with Piazza is that he can't throw anyone out....and we have enough 1B

    They have a huge payroll. Their own network, plus they generate a ton of revenue. Manny is next.

    The word from ESPN radio today is the Astros package is Lane/Qualls for Abreu. I'm not sure about that.

    Agreed. Abreu, iirc, is only four years older than Lane and a much more complete player.

    Cool, thanks for the correction. That Lane/Qualls for Abreu deal is too freaking good to be true.

    After reading the rumor mill on INsider....it says that Philly still is demanding pitching in any Abreu deal....in fact it said that the Cubs were told that any deal must include Prior. I cant see Lane/Qualls getting it done
