I said it was a stretch, but its not completely unrealistic. And I mean that being if he hits the open market. I know no one thinks he will, but that's what everyone said about Barry Zito, Alfonso Soriano, and Tori Hunter. It was just a brain fart, sorry, I meant home country, I corrected myself in a reply.

I totally forgot about that Aussie kid. He's also not the one I'm talking about ... I finally found it though ... his hame is Luis Alen and the Mets signed him like 2 weeks ago: http://metsminors.metsblog.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/2/3329106.html Thanks BiggieSmalls … I totally forgot about that Aussie kid.

If it weren't for a ridiculous winning streak by Colorado, and a historic collapse by the Mets, we're not even having this conversation.

Strangely, I think if it was Miguel Cabrera we'd get more fat jokes than Los Mets rants though. Yeah your probably right.

They'll be going on the cheap and low and build to compete in 2009 at the earliest. “they have no need for MLB ready talent right now”

One thing a rebuilding team does not need is a $7 million dollar commitment to a middle reliever. They'll be lucky to get a significant return for him. I agree that your five-for-two package isn't impossble, but I also think the O's could be more interested in Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, or Kevin Mulvey. They have no need for MLB ready talent for 2008. Mulvey's stock is at least as high as Humber's right now, maybe Pelfrey's too. And Gomez projects out better than Milledge in a lot of ways, but he's not as far along. He could be a real star with his size, speed, and defensive abilities. He may just need to finish growing into his body. Its the higher risk, higher reward gamble. If a team would take either It'd be a tough decision, but I might have to hang onto Milledge due to the more immediate need and the fact that he's probably a safer bet to be an above average player. I could see the O's considering the deal even better though if you add Bradford for with Mike Carp and maybe even a cheaper reliever like Eddie Kunz or Joe Smith. That would give the O's a lot of incentive to take the deal. They get to basically shed some salary by adding a reasonable project at 1B and a projectable replacement reliever at a much cheaper price. I actually think Bradford will cost very little.
