I do too, and I like our chances with Kemp as much as I do with Manny. Over the course of 108 games, he trails Manny by 0.5 wins by WARP1. And he's doing it in other ways, such as on the basepaths and with his glove, that I think have increased value in the postseason.

Doesn't matter anyway. From the sound of things, the Dodgers aren't going to trade him.

I heard on my way home from work, WEEI, Sports Illustrated is reporting that the Phillies have the best chances to pull off a trade. Pat Burrell is the top candidate to go Boston's way. he has a no trade clause but has said before he would waive it to go to Boston or New York.

Can't say I'm that excited about Pat Burrell

Why not? He's been more productive than Manny with the bat over the last 1.5 seasons. Despite playing in the Philly bandbox he's got no career home/road split. Yeah, he's a pretty poor defensive LF, but there's only one MLB LF'er who's worse. I'll give you one guess who that is.

I'd love to see Burrell on this team. Get Marson, too - even if you have to give up Bowden.

from mlbtraderumors.com
8:24am: Late last night, Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus had an interesting rumor:

One good source told me that he had heard that the Marlins were involved, willing to give up Jeremy Hermida and Boston-area product Jeff Allison, but I couldn't confirm this. I just don't see this deal getting done.

"He was happy, fun, i don't know what happened but it's a totally different guy... I saw him yesterday, he asked me if he was traded, I said you got two more days and you don't want to really go.... he said yes I do, I want to find peace."

BoSox21 · 07-30-2008, 03:05 PM

and by peace, he means he wants to go to a place where he can shove down travelling secretaries, fake injuries and slap teammates without the media and fans knowing or caring

Just spoke to someone, something could happen, they are focusing on one team right now and headway is being made. NL team. COULD HAPPEN TONIGHT.

"For now, Manny is in the lineup"

Buster Olney is reporting Manny has waived his no-trade clause.
