  I think they are going to trade Lavarnway over Salty. I believe he has more value then Salty. He could ultimately help us get a very good pitcher. I'm a huge Lavarnway a Brentz fan, However if you sign Swisher i'd be ok in trading those two together in a deal to acquire a top of the rotation pitcher. I'd love it if it was a deal around a SP(Spec or Doubront) + Brentz, Lavarnway and Marrero for Justin Upton.  Move Swish to LF, Ellsbury in Center and Upton in RF. Thats a very impressive OF. Especially with Gomes, and Kalish as our 0th and 0th outfielders.  Let me ask you guys something. Lets say Josh Hamilton didn't have off field issues. Drugs, Alcohol. Would you still want him not at a big contract? I'm curious since hes of the of biggest FA. My answer would be yes without a question.  Let me ask you guys something.

My answer would be yes without a question.  I don't see where victorino would fit on this lineup...need more middle of the order bats. I can't see him batting anywhere but 0-0. He's a top of the order kind of guy but the top of our order is solidified.  Never did I say he would match Pena's power. Just that, he would find HIS form going from BOS to TB, much like Pena did. I think he is going to turn out to be a really good player for them. It was only a couple years ago that LAD considered him untouchable.
