More trade rumors courtesy of Ken Rosenthal

According to Ken Rosenthal of Foxsports.com the Brewers are interested in the Giants' Jack Taschner (UW-Oskosh alum and Wisconsin native) and Ray Durham. A potential trade involving those two makes sense to me...Taschner would add another lefty to the bullpen and provide an additional setup man for Yost to experiment with. Ray Durham would add a switch-hitting 2nd basemen to the bench (or starting lineup).

The SF Chronicle quotes Ron Schueler, an adviser to Giants' GM Brian Sabean;

"We have a depth of young pitchers," Schueler said. "If Brian feels like some of these guys can go out and get us some young players - a first baseman or a third baseman or a middle infielder - I think you've got to do it. That's just me. That's going to be a tough decision on Brian's part. The main thing is, we've got young pitching stacked up and coming."

Make it happen Doug, balls to the wall.

If the Giants are looking for a third baseman...

Cain or Sanchez for Gamel sounds good to me.

Just heard...

On 670 in Chicago they are reporting that the Cubs have made a deal for Rich Harden…..

wow

maybe Hendry got Selig to waive the draft-picks-can’t-be-traded rule, and sent Beane all of his picks for the next decade.

Also, cheese.

indeed

Cubs get Harden and Gaudin, while the A’s get Gallagher, Murton, Eric Patterson, and some Donaldson guy (a catcher).

booyakasha!

Who is the Brewers' top prospect?

Brett Lawrie - Cana-DUH!
Mat Gamel - A great pure hitter who could potentially play a position of need.
Alcides Escobar - The Brewers sorely need his defensive wizardry and contact-hitting approach. He also solves the 3B hole by shifting J.J. over.
Jonathan Lucroy - The best catching prospect in the system by virtue of the fact that he can actually catch. His hitting numbers at Brevard are very good on the face of it, but even better after accounting for Space Coast Stadium.
Angel Salome - He's leading a Huntsville team that's loaded with prospects in all three slash stats, and he has the tools to be a good defensive catcher.
Jeremy Jeffress - The only real pitching prospect in a sea of hitters, Jeffress could potentially ease the pain of losing two aces by blossoming into one himself.
Carlos George - Hey, Derek Jeter can't play defense either.
