Just tossing an idea out there...

Quote
The Pirates, with new GM Neal Huntington directing yet another rebuilding process, are discussing sending corner outfielder Xavier Nady (.278 batting average, 20 homers, 72 RBI in '07) and center fielder Nate McLouth (.258, 13, 38, 22 steals) to San Diego for third base prospect Chase Headley (.330, 20, 78 for Double-A San Antonio).

With Matsui apparently off the board - is it worth throwing out a Scott/Burke/+ combo platter out there fore Headley and moving Ty back to 2b?
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Headley.  Let him make the jump.

I guess it's possible, ala Pence, but it doesn't work that often.  I like the trade, but would hang on to Loretta at second and start Headley in RR to make sure he's ready.  Of course, it ain't my money...
